Our mail on Short Street Lakeside Ca 92040 Was placed at the worst possible spot on the road, No one was told or a where of the placement of all the mailboxes…. The road where it’s place is sometimes impassable and no one wants to take their car down to it. Someone needs to come out and take ano look at placing it in a better location. I’m at 12072 Short Street and you can use my sidewalk in front which is half way

This is the third package that has not been delivered over the years. It's now been a month and still not delivered....your system shows delivered to "garage or other location", what ever that means.

Was waiting on a package that needed to be signed for, mail person never got out of their vehicle and instead left a notice for us to come and pick it up, I have a camera showing that this lazy fool never left the vehicle.

I have numerous packages shown as delivered not in the mailbox or box. I haven't complained until now but has been going on for at least a few years. A couple times the neighbor who got it brings it to me.

I was going to leave a comment in the comment box at the office, but after reading so many negative reviews, I might as well print it and chuck it into the trash because they would probably do the same thing! I have a parcel that I can't get to because the key broke, and even after speaking to several mailpersons---its like-its not my problem! Someone else will be given a key to that box, and then I'll lose my parcel---SAD

Unsatisfactory service, I received a notification that the USPS employee could not access my gate this is no the case my door is beyond a gate the package can be left at the gate, or the delivery personnel can open the gate and place it in front of the door just like he has for the past year.

My mail and packages are repeatedly lost or delivered to other addresses. I can’t understanding why mail tampering is a federal offense but the post office is not responsible for tampering with the mail?

this post office "misplaces" packages. If you contact them and file a list package complaint its dismissed because they claim it was delivered! This is not just once this happened! I will be using a different service!

As noted, they never answer the phone. Our carrier left a panel open leaving at least 20 people's mail exposed. Tried to send an email to the postmaster. They can't handle that either. It was returned as mailbox not found. Shoddy management, shoddier leadership. Why do they spend our money on this post office? No wonder they lose money.

I am 15 weeks pregnant and have been waiting for my new vitamins, upon arrival my kids were out front playing and I was in the kitchen, I heard the guy walk up and then heard a crack and as soon. As I open the door and get my package, it is absolutely broken. I have shards of glass everywhere and cant take my medicine now because of this.

Very negative review! Unable to reach anyone by phone at the Lakeside office. Tried 1800-275-8777 , with a40-50 min wait. The package I am calling about is “sorry we missed you while you were out“. I was standing at my gate while the dogs were barking to stop them from making the noise. The carrier not once looked up to deliver my package. Instead he had this Form filled out and put in my box before he got here. Now I have to go to the post office tomorrow to pick up my package instead of him delivering as part of his job.

I have a great idea on how to save money for the USPS. Remove all telephones and associated equipment from all offices. Have one 800 number that is answered in India. This will save a ton of money and the public will not know the difference since you don't answer the phone anyway.

I had my car key stolen from counter, walked out to car didn't have key walked back in and it was gone. The employee helping me was gone and he was pissued off at me as soon as he started helping me because I hadn't taped my package.
When I asked if they could check camera footage they said no. As ked if I could use their phone so I could call police to file a report they said don't you have a cell phone. I also have a lot of problems with not receiving packages and belive mailman conveniently misplaces them. I never get gift cards that are sent for birthdays and even had my kids new social security card not delivered so have to check their credit score to make sure they didn't have their identity stolen. Sad
