Fireworks over mail service. I’ve seen everything. There is probably a law against blocking drop off boxes for mail. This is nasty What about disabled who use the box, or actually anyone. Why should fireworks take presidency over US Mail in the parking lot at North Walmart? The parking lot is huge. SW corner would have been better. Jorja Kemp

I am very unhappy with the carrier. Bill was a saint, but the new one is lazy and uncaring. He ripped the door half off my new expensive mailbox, he has crammed boxes in it so tight he must have pounded and it took me half an hpur to get it out, and today he left the door open so he could leave packages in the box and not walk up the drive, and a package scanned as delivered is also MISSING today! It is either stolen or he figured out he could leave it tomorrow and not have to walk up the drive. This is ENOUGH. He has been fired before I hear, and he needs to be fired again. He is not doing his job because he is a lazy weasel and causing me pain and worry.

Would it be possible for the Ames IA post office to shine yellow/blue light/ bulbs for the evening front lights to show solidarity with the current Ukraine conflict ?

We are all essential and we should not listen to cdc people because they are not the health authority. Their recommendation and the physiology of mankind and G-d conflict them. So do NOT submit to Hitler as the devil has no power unless one give him. Yes to freedom and NO 4th Reich: Take mask off

You guys are a joke. I talked to Bonnie last week and gave her tracking info on my pkg sent 2wks to MO. It's now finally in KS!! We're making progress I GUESS. It will be Xmas before it gets to MO. I will never use the PO again for anything. Screw up after screw up. One message I got was they "resolved" the problem, but I had to have them "reopen" it again. Insanity!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I talked to Bonnie last week and left a message for her to call me yest. but got nothing. My pkg has been circling for over 2wks now and it was in KS over the weekend and back in DM now. What a bunch of ignorant and useless people I have ever had the displeasure to work with. Tell Bonnie to get this resolved before Valentine's Day or I will be back in to discuss this with her. She said she'd look into it . Right???
