I have been waiting for a package from Houston distribution center and it was suppose to arrive Jan 8 but it shows that it arrived in Houston distribution center on Jan 6, 2024 I can't get any answers. I really believe it is time to take action because I don't believe I am alone in this. I was even told it could gotten crushed or stolen, now how are we suppose to trust USPS if they have people stealing things. I am super disappointed and now they want me to do a claim where they only give me 100.00 when the contents of my package is worth about $1200.00. the people who sent never thought it would get lost. This is a complete sham. My package was brought all the way from foreign country and now I won't be able to get it again any time soon. Who do I call to be taken serious because this number keep hanging up!

I have four packages that are either at or "in transit" from this facility. One of them reached NWH Jan 8 and has not moved. Today is Jan. 16th. Just called the listed number. It rings to "The Consumer Affairs Office". It rings 4 1/2 times, then disconnects. What are you hiding?

Been sending my son mail at his Chester Street address for quite a while now. All of a sudden, his birthday card is returned "insufficient address, unable to forward" The address was correct & I even sent him a scan of the envelope to verify (which he did). His Mom & I are not happy campers

Hello USPS North Houston TX, I just GOT my mail today. You got my mail and stamped on 19 MAR 2023. and you did not deliver it. Then you stamped a second time on top of the first one that is on 12 APR 2023. What the hell you are doing? You hold my mail for over 2 months. The customer already replaced another payment. You should deserve to be a mailman.

I received a Christmas card and a wedding invitation today ( Jan.4, 2023) that was postmarked Dec 21, 2022, with the North Houston address. This is unacceptable for this service to take this long. Local post office has had numerous other complaints about the mail not being forwarded in the appropriate time for delivery. Something or someone needs to rectify the situation at this facility

I cannot figure out how to contact these people. I got a card from someone in that post code and the envelope had been torn open and then sloppily re-sealed with cello-tape. It was postmarked Dec 15 and I just got it on the 22nd. Are their sorting machines broken? Was there a theft that was recovered and re-sent? Was it an employee looking for gift cards and money?

I have a craft business and I sent a package to California, on November 27th, 2020. Today is December 7th, 2020 and the package is still at this location. I also called to see if I could talk to someone, I and had to leave a message. I'm wondering if there is a way to avoid packages being sent to this location when items are shipped. This is awful for my business. Who else can we contact to send a complaint.

Had a priority envelope sent from Livingston, TX to Florida on August 14. Tracking shows it entered this facility on that date, and has not been seen since. I called three times -- only once have I been able to talk to a human being, and that person said, "Give it a few more days", which I did. And now nothing. And I can't reach anyone when I call now. Have to leave voicemails. Is this COVID related, or DeJoy sabotage related? Either way, that envelope was pretty damn important, containing info and items of value, and I can't get it now because this facility continues their track record of horrible service. SO frustrating!

So I tracked that this location received my package back in June of 2020. I went to my local post office and the attendant told me there was nothing they or I could do regarding this missing pkg. He stated, "they don't deal with customers, they don't answer the phones, and they won't/don't do any further in tracking of pkgs that go missing from that location. You need to ask for a refund and maybe order it again but, there is nothing we can do". I personally feel that this is pitiful and feel like what a failure of our tax payer dollars that we cannot hold this location accountable considering all the mail processing that goes through it and the complaints. Postal employee don't read this, ARE YOU SERIOUS?! Then this is just a site to give us some release in venting but, they really don't care. I feel there is a lot of thief going on inside and they are immune from being accountable. They police themselves and set their own rules. We should demand change here. Boycott and bring attention to this location that force change. After all we are paying them people! I can't image how many mail in votes might get "lost" if they go through here. PITIFUL! Who can we write, who can we complain to that can bring about change.

I paid for expedited shipping to receive something very important to me and it's scheduled delivery was last Friday. Once my package arrived at this sorting facility August 1st it hasn't moved or updated since. After now reading so many of these reviews I doubt I'll ever see it. It's clear there's an issue at this facility and it would be nice if the USPS would do something about it.

I hate seeing my packages go through this facility. I've seen my stuff just sitting there for several days or longer. I especially hate seeing my packages tendered there from UPS. They must have a special place in the corner to put these so they don't have to deal with them until they feel like it. I don't think it's so much of a theft issue "although I have no doubt it does happen" but rather a lazy and careless one. If it wasn't for the extra cost I'd have my packages shipped straight UPS or FedEx and not have to deal with the crap.

I drive by this large building with huge air conditioners on the roof all the time looking longingly hoping they will one day get it together and find my lost mail and bring it to me. I don't care that it's a distribution center, at the very least distribute the mail please and put a quality procees into place. There's plenty of people inside to do this work judging from the full parking lots.

My package was shipped on May 4th from Portsmouth, NH. It arrived at the North Houston Distribution Center on May 13 and the tracking history said it was "In Transit to Next Facility" on May 17. No updates after that. Today is May 28, 2020. I would agree that there is a serious problem at this facility with theft. I have filed an online complaint with the USPS Inspector General. I tried to speak to someone at the number listed at their website, 888-877-7644, but could only leave a message. This is terrible violation of our property and needs to be investigated by the authorities. It is no different than stealing mail or packages from our mailboxes, which is a federal offense! If I don't receive a response from someone immediately I will be filing a police report as well!

Based on the reviews that I am reading, that packages are disappearing, after it lands at North HoustonTexas Distribition Center, and tracking number says that it is in transit to the next facility center, and then the packages disappear, and are never found, means their is a thief in the facility. The fact that the same thing has happened to me, leaves me no choice but to take drastic measures. So this is a warning to this distribution center: I mailed my package through priority mail $15 on 05/07/20, a week ago. If it does not reach my destination, I will be filing a police report for theft, so that an investigation can be opened, since so many people are being victimized, with the same story. I will not allow a post office employee to steal from me, and my mother, during this pandemic. I have tried contacting this distribution center by phone and no one answers, the message clearly states that the voicemail is full. I will not be victimized during this stressful time in history.

Well, I’ve officially given up hope. My $165 package was shipped via Priority Mail on February 29th, originating from Dickinson, TX. That was a Saturday, but why it even took until March the 4th to arrive at this Houston Sorting Facility is beyond me, considering I live in Indiana & the package should’ve already been in my mailbox on Tuesday, Wednesday AT THE LATEST. Anyhow, I’ve since opened two different service inquiries, but neither have gotten me anywhere. Even more, my local Postmaster has sent this silly excuse of a processing center COUNTLESS emails in an attempt to track down my (rather expensive) item & they’re so incredibly pathetic they won’t even respond to emails from other branches of USPS!!! That speaks VOLUMES. Thanks so much for taking such SPECTACULAR care of my package!!! I’m certain either one of you employees is loving my item or my package is sitting in some abandoned bin wasting away!! Recommendation: HIRE ALL NEW STAFF! YOUR CURRENT STAFF COULDN’T GIVE TWO SHITS, YET THEY’RE BEING PAID QUITE WELL, RECEIVE GOVERNMENT BENEFITS & WILL RETIRE WITH PENSIONS!!! HECK, I NEED A JOB!!! I BET I COULD REPLACE YOUR ENTIRE STAFF & DO 5X THE WORK THEY COLLECTIVELY DO!!! Tracking # in case anyone cares: 9405510202061034153302

I sent a pkg last month, tracking shows it ended up here, then said in transit to next destination, but it never was scanned again, and place said N/A. I had to refund the customer $119.95 for a motor & shipping. I took it as a loss. Fast Forward to this month, I purchased an item on ebay, the seller dropped it off April 14th, it stayed in this location 4 days, April 18th it said in transit to next destination, and has not updated since, same as with the other missing package. When you check the tracking, in transit to next location, place N/A . If anyone would like to take a look and see what I mean, heres the tracking # USPS # 9400 1082 0549 7436 4270 30, (2) USPS packages with tracking, (1) pkg was a priority that went missing at this facility within 5 weeks and cost me a little over $220.00, I can't even get help at my local post office, they said that its probably been stolen or has sat in containers but by calling and complaining that they would never admit to it, so what do I do, just stop buying or selling anything from the state of Texas out of fear it'll show up at this facility ? Be nice to get the second pkg but I have my doubts. Unbelievable !!!!

My package’s been stuck at the North Houston facility since April 16th with no further updates. I shipped from Europe, so it is really disappointing to see that during these difficult times of the pandemic the package successfully reached TX only to remain stuck at the Houston facility. Currently, I am also having issues with the recipient of the package, which makes it even more stressful and nerve racking. Serious measures must be taken here. This is unacceptable!

Same deal, except I have a package I ordered that says it was there on April 14th, then on April 18th, it changed to in transit to next destination but hasn't updated since, when looking for the location it says N/A. Had the same ordeal happen last month on a pkg I shipped that ended up in the same location. It said it arrived here, then said in transit to next location, place N/A. Somebody is either taking pkgs out of there or they are not tending to pkgs and letting them sit.

Tracking states my package have been at this location since 4/9/2020. It is now 4/15/2020 & I should have received by 4/13/2020. From reading the reviews, this location need thorough investigations for Theft. With the pandemic at this time families don't need the extra stress of not receiving their products. I'm also guessing from the reviews I will never get my pkg. The company Manco, had to be aware of this seeming tho it's been going on a while. All I can say is that this is very shameful & disgusting for people to do this type of business!! I will be contacting the BBB...

The North Houston Distribution center has major issues, one of them I believe is theft of mail. Someone should really investigate this post office location. I send a lot of packages by Certified Mail and it seems whenever they go through this distribution center it goes missing and there are no scans after it gets received at this center. I dont have any faith in our USPS but someone has got to be stealing the mail if this many packages go missing or they better check the dumpster in the back, because someone is taking it to the next level to get out of doing any work. Trying to reach anyone or get anyone to investigate anything is like worse then pulling teeth. Trust me, I would rather have my teeth pulled than to have to deal with the USPS. Their call center is no better. After holding for 2 hours you end up talking to someone who knows nothing and leads you in the wrong direction. No wonder why people dont want to use USPS anymore.

I ordered from Amazon and forgot to change the address, called my P.O.(they're holding our mail) and asked them to please forward it. Sure thing, she said, but you'll have to pay the postage due. I said that's okay since it was my fault that it had the incorrect address. We hung up...that was 3!weeks ago and I still do not have the pkg. I've checked and it has traveled between North Houston D.C and Lufkin 4!, count them 4 times! I think that when (wishful thinking here) I do get it it should be the freaking post office that pays for 'extra postage'. Absolutely insane. Get your poop together folks and get the job done!!

This sort facility has major issues. Packages are delivered to the WRONG local post Office, and NEVER seen (or tracked) again. Its been an ongoing issue for YEARS. How the USPS is able to operate with 0 accountability or liability is simply amazing. I too, am going to contact my local state representative, who happens to be right down the street.

The North Houston Distribution Center location is plagued with overwhelming issues.The packages arriving at this location frequently go missing and reaching anyone there is impossible. I have a packaged that arrived at the facility on November 29, 2019. Since then the trail went cold and I have yet to receive my package. I have been calling the center nearly every day, multiple times a day, for the past six weeks. No answer with the voicemail box always being full. This is type of service is not acceptable at any place, particularly for a government agency. Location such as this should not be in service due to inability to properly distribute packages and non-existent customer service.

It is my understanding that this facility was badly damaged by tropical storm Imelda 9-19-19 and will be closed for some time. This was in the news - "During the storm yesterday the roof collapsed on the US Postal Service North Houston Sorting and Distribution Center. This is the largest sorting facility in the country." This is putting a huge dent in mail going in and out of Houston. Plan accordingly.

I've put a tracer on it with my ph# and email addr, but no replies as of today 9/4. I've tried calling but a recorded msg says the # cannot be completed as dialed. I've emailed Senator Ted Cruz today. I certainly agree with everyone else on here that something really needs to be done about this place.

A couple of years ago I mailed a 5" x 7" brown envelope containing gift cards from Texas to New York. I don't remember if it was certified or registered but it had tracking. Our local PO got it out promptly and when it reached the North Houston PO it was "lost" there for a solid month. For 4 weeks they didn't know where it was. UNbelievable.

My prescription medicine has 'disappeared' from this location - again. In reading the reviews it's obvious the issues have been going on for years and years. I contacted customer service with no result. I'm contacting my congressmen, Senator Ted Cruz (https://www.cruz.senate.gov/) and Senator John Cornyn (https://www.cornyn.senate.gov/) - on the websites there is a link to send the Senators a message AND an address to send a letter. I am suggesting anyone and everyone with an issue with the NORTH HOUSTON TX DISTRIBUTION CENTER do the same.

Here is my tracking : 70180360000114910568 This is an ordinary letter posted in Houston to a destination in same Houston. Since April 25,1018, the letter did not get to destination neither was it return to the sender. I called about 3 weeks ago. After about one hour on the hold, a lady came online to say the letter is in a center in North Houston and will be sent back to me as It can not be delivered. Since then nothing has shown up and neither was it delivered to the intended recipient THOSE WHO HAVE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF MANAGING USPS SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF THEMSELVES This evidence of poor services and it is not acceptable in any place In any case, I just want it to be delivered or return back to me. That is all. Thanks

Great. I have a package coming through Amazon, it's stuck at this facility. They haven't updated tracking in five days. Guess I'll kick back and pretend I never ordered anything. (No choice on carrier given by seller or I would've paid extra for UPS.)

Great....I'm reading all these reviews and online articles and just feeling sick. I sent a DNA sample off last Friday (3/9/18), as I'm trying to research family ancestry. It was supposed to be delivered to the ancestry location there in Houston on Monday. I just tracked it via USPS and it shows that it arrived there at North Houston on 3/11/18. It shows "in transit to next facility" for the next 3 days, and then shows it's delayed and won't be delivered as expected. I sent it first class, so I do have a tracking number but no insurance. I hope I don't have to start all over! Ugh!

Tampering with or stealing USPS mail is a felony since the United States Postal Service is a government agency, yet it seems that packages that appear to contain small things of value such as jewelry, phones or money are consistently delayed or completely disappear here. They appear to be performing illegal activities there, yet are not holding those accountable responsible for their employee's conduct.

Waiting on a package that has been sitting at the North Houston Texas Distribution Center since January 31. Maybe this facility needs to be investigated again by ABC like they were in November 2015. From personal experience and reading the comments below, it sounds like nothing has changed.

Really very disappointing about this place like you see all have a Negative feedback until we got on this location. I've never had a problem with the USPS until my package went through North Texas. Almost 1 month and still no package delivered to my client. it had been in "transit" for 4 days since "left North Texas postal office location" when the destination is Houston as well. I called their office they told me was the weather...since was first class is no insurance..they probably stole my item. Very frustrated with this super bad service.

Me too! Was supposed to be there on the 21st. Tracking says the same as yours. Calling the help line is useless. It's unfair that they say mail it by this date to get it by Christmas and then they drop the ball. At this point, theres no telling when it will get there. Of course, I mailed the entire family their gifts to one address because they will all be together. They wont be all together again for several months.

A box was sent to me Priority Mail on December 4, 2017 from Maine to me in TEXAS. It made it to North Houston Distribution on December 8th and then they SENT IT BACK TO MAINE! Maine received it and sent it back to Texas on December 11th. I have called countless times to several post offices....get the same issue...that there is a label issue. But the entire time it showed my Magnolia, Tx zip code on the tracking history and yet it never made it to Magnolia. As of last night at 2am the box is BACK in North Houston. I am worried that it is going to be sent back to Maine again and not to Magnolia. If it would just get to Magnolia...I know I would get it. Frustrated that North Houston Distribution Center has so many issues. This is not the first time that this has happened to me once a parcel reaches North Houston.

This location is absolutely awful. I have never had an issue receiving mail before. While tracking my packing since November 24th, it was processed and sent to the next location day by day until hitting this location. My package has not moved in over 7 days. The estimated delivery time has long been passed by. Why is nothing happening at this location??

What in the hell happens to packages that go to this facility? We know they are just parked there for days. Not specific to holidays and high traffic. This is the worst location to try to get mail through. It is either horribly mismanaged or deliberately understaffed. If it's understaffed that's mismanagement on a higher level. It's a blackhole and may or may not regurgitate your mail. Doesn't three days from North Houston to Katy seem a little ridiculous?

Packages from Amazon are almost always on time. Any other package is always a day late and once it reaches the facility no more tracking is made available until it goes out for delivery the day after it originally shows to be delivered.

I've never had a problem with the USPS until my package went through North Texas. Almost 2 months and still no package. I've wasted many phone minutes and time on trying to get this resolved but it seems like they want me to just throw my hands up in the air and forget about it. It's not gonna happen. I've already started a process with the better business bureau and next I will be starting a lawsuit. Seriously, we should all come together and sue the shit out of this place.

Payed for 2 day shipping to go from the Houston location to my house in Schertz, Tx. My package was sent to New York, and when I called to ask about my package, I got rude customer service, and I was told there was nothing they could do. Then they hung up on me. Worst service I've ever experienced. I don't understand why my package is across the country when it should be at my house. Tomorrow, I'm driving the 3 hour drive to Houston to get my package. Because it shouldn't take over 2 days for my package to arrive. And my package definitely shouldn't be in New York. I spoke to a representative at the USPS by my house and they agreed that my package should not be in New York. I was denied any possibility of a refund. But that's okay, I'm gonna go to Houston and get it myself.

Just a heads up on this place, they don't update the info on the tracking page in real time, you may experience a several hour delay. For me it was still showing they were sitting on it and I actually had my package for 6 or 7 hours. That's right 6 or 7 HOURS. Forget about driving over to the actual location to try and get your package, they won't have a clue on what to do with you when you arrive. Only way you'll get it is if you have a PO Box here. Best of luck to you all!

Update: Received text this morning, 5/11/16 stating that envelope was received at destination post office this morning. What I have found out is that NHDC is sorting at this facility is automated. The least li'l error will kick it out (ex: If you do not address pkg according to postal guidelines, put East instead of E, Highway instead.of HWY, etc.) and can sit there until someone is able to be reached (slim chance) to research it. I'm sure most of y'all have figured some of this out by now, however, I feel like this facility should be investigated and much more hands-on application! Best wishes to everyone who has issues with this.

The North Houston Sorting Facility is absolutely the worst. I have had a package sitting at this facility for 2 months, had it re shipped and that one has been sitting there for 3 weeks. (Checked with tracking) my post office says the trouble all begins with North Houston. Don't bother to pay for Prority 1 or 2 day shipping, it gets there in a week if you are lucky.
Wish I knew how to report this but that office doesn't answer phone calls. I think I am going to call the U.S. Generals office to see what can be done. This is horrible and unacceptable!!!!

The North Houston Sorting Center continues to be the boulder in the middle of the road when it comes to moving mail through the USPS out of Houston. Time and again I have had packages sit there for up to 3 days during very non-peak, non-holiday times of the year.
To be fair, most of my shipments indeed move through very quickly, but the problem we all face is that we have no confidence that a package transiting this facility will in fact move on time. Far too many times, packages linger, and it's a roll of the dice every time you send something.
The lack of tracking information is equally appalling. I have had several packages this year show 'Received', but then no other information until Tracking shows it at a sorting center across the country, while my customer is wanting to know where his package is.
I also have to question some of the routing of packages that this facility processes. A month ago, I sent a 1-day priority mail package from Spring, TX to Sugarland, TX, both of which are suburbs of Houston, and the routing took the package to Dallas and back, resulting in a 2-day delivery.
I believe USPS aims for a 98% success rate on moving priority mail on time, but it's hard for me to believe the North Houston Center is able to achieve that rate.

UPDATE: Hello again, I'd like to give you another update to my last message, I finally received a call back from USPS Consumer Affairs (713) 226-3237, yesterday. The lady I spoke to, Brenda, says that it wasn't just one facility that shut down, it was 3 of them! Houston, Austin and Beaumont, Texas, and all are being rerouted to one Sorting Facility! Wow, it just keeps getting better. Anyhow, this drastic change came about on January 1st and has affected mail from Jan 1st through now. She did say that some mail that is caught through their machine is getting out faster than the ones being sent out manually. She also said to give her another 2 or 3 days to locate them and have them processed immediately. She'll confirm with me either Friday or Monday at the latest. I'll keep ya'll posted. Have a Blessed Day!

I shipped 4 items on March 5, 2015 with expected delivery by March 9, 2015. Here we are the 24th and tracking shows that my items still have not left my local post office at 77017. On March 11, 2015, I sent out 1 more item with expected delivery by March 17, 2015 and that one still shows it has not left my local post office at 77017. On March 13, 2015, I sent out 2 more items with expected delivery by March 16, 2015 and those finally made it to our North Houston Sorting Facility on March, 14, 2015. Now how did these last 2 make it to our sorting facility before the first 5? Nonetheless, I called the USPS at (800) 275-8777 and filed a claim, TWICE! The first time I called, They took all my info down with tracking numbers and said that someone would contact me within 72 hours. A WEEK passed so I called back. Someone apparently closed my claim so it had to be re-opened. This was last week. In doing some research, I found out that Houston had 2 Sorting facilities. One was located in Downtown Houston, which was recently closed down and all packages and mail are being rerouted to the North Houston Sorting Facility. Apparently the facilities machine cannot handle such heavy loads that the post office has to sort everything out MANUALLY which the machine doesn't catch. Mail can be delayed as long as 30 days! Here we are the 24th of March and my customers are now seeking REFUNDS! I was finally able to reach someone about an hour ago at the USPS Consumer Affairs Division. I called ... (713) 226-3442 Ext 2005 A lady answered and I explained my situation. She said to give her only 1 tracking number. After I gave it to her, she said her computer is down and asked for my phone number and she'd call me back as soon as her computer comes back up. Hmmmm, its been over an hour, so they must not be getting any work done if their computers are still down. I will post another comment shortly with an update if someone returns my calls.

Likewise, we operate a small online business
and we are losing so much money because the orders that we painstakingly ship
on time sit in this facility for an unbelievably long period of time -over a
week to 10 days!!! Even the packages that paid "priority 3-days" take
about a week before they leave this North Facility! This has been going
on for about 3 months now! It is even getting worst! We lost so much money with
the December packages that never made it to the Eve. We tried calling, filing a
complaint but they just refuse to cooperate. ALL our packages are stuck in this
NORTH Facility for days! We are seriously considering FedEx. Emailing angry customers
back and forth about this issue is tedious and so time-consuming! Nobody has
time for this!

This post office has really gone down. I used to receive packages shipped through this facility early. Now they are always at least a day late according to tracking/shipping info. I've also noticed my packages sitting here for two days according to tracking. They are either holding the packages longer than they should or the tracking info is all jacked up. This is ridiculous on either account

Well, it took me forever to reach someone at that facility... DO dial the 713-226-3442 and the extension that worked for me was 2006, some guy named John but a woman picked up. She told me she couldn't do anything to make the package move faster through processing... And even though she wasn't able to give me a date for the arrival, she was helpful and contacted the facility that would deliver my package based on area (Katy in my case). I told her I needed to receive my order by Monday because I am traveling and it cannot just sit outside my door. I asked if I could just come pick it up, and she said that it is a distribution location and it is not open to the public. She helped me by canceling the shipment and redirecting it back to the sender. I then went ahead and called the store and got refunded. Of course this won't be everybody's case, I'm sure most people here just want to get their order and not just cancel it. Hope this feedback helps.

This facility is horrible!!! Its the worst!! i own an online business and when my shipments arrive to this facility, it always sits there for 5-7 business days!! I hate this location. i don’t know what’s going on there but this location needs to get it together - whoever is managing this location is doing a terrible job!!! Does anyone know how to formally file a complaint on this location?

HORRIBLE!! I ordered something over 15 days ago (3 day shipping-priority) and still havent received it. Tried calling and wont get answered. When I looked up this facility it looks like theres been problems for a while and a story reported in Dec 2014. Im STILL waiting on my package. After 9 days it finally left the facility but after 6 more days it hasnt gotten to where its going. I bet its still sitting at North Houston facility!!

My package was shipped 3 day priority mail, that was 6 days ago! This post office is the last place that accepted it. There is no updated tracking and nobody knows where my package is. My package is fertile expensive chicken eggs that are probably no longer fertile. Not impressed!!!!!!!!

Count me in on this... I have had multiple packages both incoming and outgoing getting delayed here for weeks on end... Makes you look horrible when selling an item and it takes 2 or 3 weeks to get delivered on a 2-3 day package!

Agreed that something strange is happening at this facility. My item shipped on 2/5 a Friday with an estimated delivery date of the 9th (Monday). Wednesday morning the 11th I got info, via tracking,that my item was delayed. The same night tracking says departed. I assume its in route. Then Friday the 13th check tracking and it says departed the 13th....how is this possible when it had departed on the 11th? It's now the 14th, no update, no package, and it's been 9 days and probably hasn't left. Ridiculous.

Same here... For the past two weeks, this post office has been delaying packages I've sent to customers. Not only am I losing money but it's hurting my seller rating. And they offer NO help. And it don't matter what area I ship from they always end up here.

The USPS screwed up in 2 ways. Have a package that was shipped to me on 2/7/15 by 2 day priority. It's now 2/12 and haven't received it yet! The first screw up was in NY when their scanner read the last 2 numbers of the zip code as 77566 instead of 77586. This caused the package to be shipped to the wrong city 50 miles away! And this is not the first time this has happened to a package sent to me and I never received it!!! On 2/9 the 77566 PO told me the package was sent from there to the North Houston Distribution Center (NHDC). That is the last I've seen of the package when checking the tracking. Only states that it was forwarded from 77566. No indication that it was ever received at the NHDC. Three days since being sent 50 miles and no updates!!! Now my package is sitting in limbo somewhere (hopefully!) at the NHDC hellhole!!! I was told by the 77566 Post Office that it could take up to 10 days before leaving the NHDC!!! Will I get a refund for the price I paid for 2 day priority? Fat chance in hell I will!!!

UPDATE: After a long wait I finally got to speak with someone at Consumer Affairs (713-226-3442). Not helpful in the LEAST! Couldn't tell me any more than I already knew and wasn't willing to pursue it any further!!! Asked if I'd get a refund on paying for priority and not receiving on time. Was told "NO!" If you have anything of importance sent to the Houston area do NOT use USPS! The distribution center will screw things up for you!!!

My package has been sitting at the North Houston Facility since 8am on 2/5. I keep getting updates stating it has an estimated delivery date of the 7th, which would be great if it wasn't already the 10th. The Pony Express is faster than these lazy good for nothing pieces of excrement.

A registered air mail with a very important legal document was sent to me at our home address in Oregon. But it some how ended up in Houston TX processing center. It has been sitting there for last 10 days without any action. Called many numbers but no one wants to take up the ownership of the problem.

I have a package I mailed certified on Jan 10th still at this facility 1/26/15. I get one or two texts a day telling me it is departing the north Houston facility. I tried the phone number listed and it is not in service. I finally got a hold of someone and they told me I could not drive there and find out where my package is. This is ridiculous!!

I think someone are stiling it in this USPS facility!
All you guys who saying have the issue with the tracking number, it updates as it is processing and keep like that days and days right?The reason I think have someone stilling it is because e I am a online seller and also selling on eBay and every-time my package go to this place it stuck, I have several "lost items" in there, but I only realize this last night, because my buyer asked if have anything to recognize my package as a merchandise.... I started think and of course, it says ebay on it!My customer purchased a product before xmas, the tracking number keep only saying it was received and processed, for 2 weeks and one day it stop, she never received it.... So I sent again to her 2 weeks ago and the same problem happened! the thing keep saying this:Departed USPS Origin FacilityJan-13-15, 04:55 AM, NORTH HOUSTON, TX 77315Arrived at USPS Origin FacilityJan-08-15, 11:11 AM, NORTH HOUSTON, TX 77315Accepted at USPS Origin Sort FacilityJan-08-15, 09:56 AM, HOUSTON, TX 77024I am having a hard time to believe it just got lost again! to the same receiver?
So I checked and I found more packages I sent when they got lost in the same place..... I never realized some of the packages I drop in my USPS (77024) GO TO THIS 77315, but most of my packages get in the 77021 before left Houston, so I decide check my last lost packages and find a "curious coincidence" so we have only two option... Or someone are stiling it in this 77315 facility when see it is a merchandise or they are compliantly incompetent and should not being there... independent of the answer for it I am not going to let it just happens and if needed I am going to take it to a legal level.

The USPS in general has been a joke since they started hiring anyone off the streets. They have a commercial for the hollidays that says they dilivered 1 billion packages that calander year. what they forget to tell you is they hundreds of thousands that they screwed up. How hard is it to deliver a package with a address on it? Obviously very hard!

It's unbelievable to me that this place is still functioning. Though, I use that term quite loosely. I had two packages go to that facility. One sat there for 5 days and then was returned to sender. The other has been there for 16 days and still no end in sight on this. I've filed cases, called USPS 800 number almost daily and still, nothing. As with so many others, I'm done with USPS and will be using FedEx strictly from now on.

uh, it's obvious its NOT functioning. I've read complaints going back to 2013. When you Google search North Houston Sort Facility the top hits are all either complaints about the facility or local news reports about how this facility is notorious for NOT functioning. I will NEVER use USPS again. I have supported them for years but they are killing my eBay business. I just hope I can get my package back in this lifetime. In the future it is definitely worth using UPS or Fedex. Hell, at this point it would be more worthwhile to drive packages myself. If they could just tell me where my package is I would gladly do it.

Dealing with the same problem as many of you. I paid for 2 day priority mail for a items I purchased from a business in Pearland, TX totaling $165. Tracking shows package arrived at USPS Origin facility in North Houston on Dec 2nd. Tracking shows "Expected Delivery Day" Friday, Dec 5th and "STATUS OF ITEM" Arrived at USPS Origin Facility. No other tracking updates and it still has not arrived. Appears it is still sitting at the facility in North Houston. That facility is a joke! I will make every effort to not use USPS ever again. I will gladly pay a couple bucks more to use FedEx or UPS to get in reasonable amount of time and up to date tracking. Good luck to you all and I hope you get your packages and they are not found in the nearby ditch. Merry Christmas!

Did you ever receive your package? I'm in the same situation and want to know if there is anything I can do. What's even more frustrating is that I had another package go through here at a later date, and I already received it... this one has just been sitting there for days.

I am equally as upset as everyone else here and it too concerns the North Houston USPS sorting facility zip code 77315. I recommend you call USPS consumer affairs https://ribbs.usps.gov/locator... 713-226-3442 It's obvious this facility has issues that have been going on for a long, long time. Even the guy who delivers my mail to my house is shocked at the problems this facility has. The supervisor in charge needs to be fired. Simple; fire the coach and get someone who can lead and fix problems.

They have been even worse than usual lately. They are renovating their space. NO EXCUSE as they should have had a protocol on how to keep working flawlessly through the renovation. ESPECIALLY DURING THE HOLIDAYS!!! File a complaint FOR SURE because something must be done about them. USPS Houston sees over $10,000 per year from my local business but they're about to lose it to another carrier if they don't get their s#i& together!

I've had trouble too. I sent an important, precious document certified letter Oct first from IL. to Tomball Tx, and my daughter's still waiting for it as of last night. Apparently it may be "stuck" in the North Houston facility. I sent regular letters to northern Wis. last Sat. and they received them the following Mon. All it takes are a few stupid and/ or careless people to give the proficient people a bad reputation. What's the matter with them not returning phone calls. How can the supervisor retain his or her position?

Our medication shipped out on 9/26 with expedited shipping so it would arrive before our current supply was out. As of 10/4, the medication has been in North Houston USPS for SIX DAYS. Needless to say, we are now out of medication No customer service or humans of any kind to assist. Finally found a number for Customer Advocates at 202-268-2000. He found an alternate number 281-331-5755 and connected me to the manager. They claim they have never seen my package. Back to square one.

This has got to be the one of the worse sorting facilities ever. This is the 2nd time in less than a month one of my packages went through this facility and seems to have disappear. Delivery date was supposed to be April 5... It's 10 days later and still says "Depart USPS Sort Facility." USPS can't expect more people to use them if service is like this...

Don't call the number listed on this website. It will take you to a menu of choices that all lead nowhere. The only people that ever answer the phone do not actually have anything to do with the post office sort facility and then they transfer you back to the same endless voice mail boxes or recorded menus. I finally reached someone who told me the phone number I needed to call was: 713-226-3442, but of course, their office closes at 4:00 pm, and since I wasted over an hour trying to get in touch with someone on the menu-options-from-hell number, they were closed when I called at 4:40.
