All of that happened. Not only was my mattress picked up quickly, delivered professionally, but also, the cost was so much more reasonable than what the "tasker" had charged me.

Extremely frustrating and disappointing experience at the Atwater Post Office…read more I went in simply to purchase a money order and needed to split the payment--$500 on my debit card and the remainder in cash. This should not have been an issue. However, the clerk told me I could not tap my debit card and that I needed the physical card. When I explained that I paid for a money order the exact same way last month at this same location, she dismissively said, "It's new." That makes absolutely no sense. If this is truly a "new" policy, it's clearly not being communicated consistently or professionally. It completely defeats the purpose of having a debit card stored securely on my phone if I'm suddenly not allowed to use it--especially when I wasn't attempting anything unsafe or unusual. I wasn't bypassing a PIN or doing anything improper. The lack of consistency, poor explanation, and unhelpful attitude made a simple transaction unnecessarily stressful. This post office seriously needs better training, clearer policies, and improved customer service. I left annoyed and disappointed over something that should have taken minutes.

Disappointed with the customer service at this location…read more I entered the building three minutes before closing to finish writing an address in the mail room. When I turned to enter the main area to ship the item, an employee locked the door in front of me--despite having seen me enter before 5:00. When I knocked and said, "You saw me come in before 5," I was told, "You should have been in this room. We close at 5," after which the lights were turned off. I then watched other employees laugh, which was a particularly professional touch. I understand closing time policies. What I don't understand is being treated rudely when I was already inside the building and attempting to complete a transaction in good faith. After a long workday, this interaction felt dismissive and unnecessary. I'll be returning to speak with the manager, as basic courtesy shouldn't end the moment the clock hits 5:00.

*Speed Lightning* Had a very important & urgent document that needed to be picked up & delivered to me for a signature then returned back to the original destination. Called Lightning Messenger Express and spoke to Debbie who was very sweet & friendly while remaining professional. I was given a reasonable price quote (with a discount) and was assured my turn-around time & expectations for the deadline would be met, and was told she or someone else would contact me once my order was completed. Within less than a hour the messenger/courier picked up & delivered the package to me, I signed the docs, and then off he went, back to the original destination within the next 30 minutes. The messenger was kind, patient and easily identifiable as a representative for Lightning Messenger Express. I was very impressed & pleased with my entire experience -- from my initial phone call and everything else in between -- ending with a callback confirmation. Thank you, Debbie & your team, for saving me the time and hassle of not having to deal with the stress & rush hour traffic, had I chosen to do all that driving myself. I highly recommend LME for all your stress-free delivery needs. read more

This company really saved me last week. I needed to pick up material from a manufacturer in Los Angeles that I had to have in Newport by 3pm. Normally I just run to LA and get back before the traffic but it was on the same day that President Obama came to Los Angeles and there was no way I would make it there and back by 3pm due to the massive traffic jams caused by his visit. I called LME and they assured me this delivery would be no problem and they did not disappoint me. I had the material by 1:30pm and I met my deadline. Thanks LME! I may never drive to Los Angeles for materials again I will just call LME. read more
