Mount Vernon Postal service sucks!! That's putting it mildly. I have been missing mail. The Post office needs a overhaul!!

Very poor customer service and no regard for time. There's only one person working currently at 4:00 on a wednesday afternoon. Her attitude is very poor, she uses sarcasm and a very annoyed tone. She was also on her cellphone taking a personal call. read more

US Post Office - This sign is very contradictory. - Post Offices Near Me - Mount Vernon, New York

I like the post office. I don't know why the so much backlash. Except it open at 830, but the front doesn't start till 9am.

THE ABSOLUTE WORST POST OFFICE TO EVER EXIST. ALL of the negative comments are correct! These people literally walk passed the phone as its ringing and they dont answer. I spent and entire day literally calling and not one call did someone pick up the phone. I had a package that stated "delivered" but it said delivered to my PO Box WHICH I DONT HAVE!!! The packing slip literally has my home address on it so how was it delivered to a PO Box when I DONT have one. These people are literally useless and rude. Will catch an attitude due to their errors. This is the 5th time I have had a problem with this office. And if you have to go there, put aside at least an hour just to wait on line. read more

Two days ago, I sent my nephew something via certified mail. It was time-sensitive but it was just in an envelope, therefore I didn't feel like going all the way to FedEx and also spending a lot more money. I tracked it online and it was out for delivery today - and then suddenly (at about noon), the tracking information said delivery was "refused". Further, it also said the item was being *returned to the sender* (!). I was *livid* and I was thinking that the incompetent mail carrier attempted to deliver it to the wrong address - but that didn't make any sense because my writing is really clear. Also; if in fact the incompetent mail carrier somehow went to the wrong address, that would (supposedly) be *quite obvious*. As an aside; I had a similar experience with the other Mount Vernon post office (Fleetwood) a few months ago, when I'd also sent my nephew something in an envelope via certified mail (see my separate review). The tracking information said the item was delayed and then it was delivered the next day, but even now - *nearly three months later* - it STILL says it's delayed (it's a huge understatement to say that's absurd). I made many attempts to call both post office locations today, but no one EVER answered (and the same thing happened with the Fleetwood location the last time). Then I tried calling the postal service's 800 # - but after waiting on hold for 40 minutes, I finally gave up. Meanwhile; my nephew returned home at about 3:00 p.m., and guess what was in his mailbox (yes, folks; it was the item that was being "returned to sender" because delivery was "refused"....). Both situations are beyond pathetic, but especially today's - and not only was it infuriating for me to waste so much time which resulted from sheer incompetence (in addition to making a special trip to the post office and waiting in a long line), but I paid for certified mail both times and it was useless. Lesson learned; in the future, I'll spend the time and money going to FedEx. read more

This is the worst post office EVER! I was expecting a package which showed 'out for delivery'. It was not in the hall with the other mail I received. No pick up notice or 2nd attempt.. Nothing. When I checked the tracking it showed 'status not updated'. A small package just M.I.A. I call the post office and speak with Steve who takes my info along with the tracking details. He assures me I'll receive a callback once the postal carrier returns.. No call! I follow up the next day, and receive the same.. 'I'll check with the driver and call you back. The driver was supposed to return at 1pm per Steve. It's 4:43 and nothing. I've been calling them all afternoon and no one answers. How convenient. Find a more efficient location. read more

US Post Office - My unanswered call during business hours - Post Offices Near Me - Mount Vernon, New York

My niece was expecting a federal package and the address to be delivered was foreclosed by the city. Simply put, there was a lot of back and forth while tracking it. We went to this location and an associate Caldwell helped us without hesitation. He was very pleasant, went above and beyond to assist us and was very professional. That was our first time at this location and we were really grateful read more

Had a package coming to me via USPS and as I was at work during their first attempt to drop it off, I was left a notice that it would be available for pickup the next day. I showed up in the afternoon a few days later expecting some traffic; its a post office on a Monday afternoon after all. But what I found was bordering on incompetence. When I came in, I noticed only 2 of the 5 windows open. After getting to the clerk, I pull my notice and begin to say I'm here to pick up before I'm cut off: "Pickups are around the corner. Next." Ok, fair enough. I turn the corner and run into a line of some 10-odd people, visibly upset. I see nobody at the window and after a few minutes I ask the person in front of me how long they've been waiting. "Close to half an hour now". Two young girls were at the front of the line and from what I overheard, had been waiting, were sent back to the original line I was first on, and then sent back again. When they questioned why they were sent back, the clerk mutters "did he find it?" and disappears once they understandably start getting upset. This location always has been a headache but today was just too much. I'd rather have my mail sent to my workplace than risk having to come back here again. read more

US Post Office - 30+ minutes in line. I don't get it. - Post Offices Near Me - Mount Vernon, New York

Customer service is very horrible on a Saturday. I can't speak for any of the other days. But any Saturday I have to visit the post office in Mount Vernon near Enterprise, it is the SAME TERRIBLE SERVICE. Many of us who work Monday-Friday appreciate when a business as such is open on a weekend. However, the woman who worked at the 1st window on 12/16 between 12:45pm and 1:15pm had to have been upset that she worked this day. Her attitude when talking to people standing on the line was very nasty. There were only 2 clerks and the other gentleman on the other end did not speak very loud, so no one knew when he was calling next. It seemed she was dealing with passport applications, but then only the guy was left dealing with the rest of the line as she had the same customer the entire time I was there (30 minutes) When her customer was done, she still did not jump in to help the line and only kept shouting "He's calling next, I didnt call next!". I did mention it was no need for the attitude. Now, I don't know what the staffing concerns are, as a manager myself, I can understand running a customer service based office when you are short staff. But reminding employees that we are in the business of customer service, and that it is a very important aspect of our job duties to be courteous, respectful, and polite to those we have to service. Unless a customer is being difficult and disrespectful, customers should not initially be greeted or handled with such. Whoever the postmaster is, the employees definitely need to be spoken to about this because this poor service has been ongoing and doesn't seem to get any better. Starting with the woman at that window! read more

Literally the WORST post office in Mount Vernon. They lost about 4 of my packages and delivered another 2 to the wrong address with no reimbursements of course. I have to call the inspector general to get things done around here. Drivers lazy as hell and they tend to lie about redelivery or just don't do it all! The employees don't know anything and can't answer any questions unless the manager is there and the attitudes! Atrocious! A bunch of idiots work at this office apparently, they can't do ANYTHING right. STAY AS FAR AWAY AS POSSIBLE. read more

This post office is fucking TERRIBLE. The employees behind the counter have awful attitudes for no reason and are very dismissive and unhelpful. They NEVER answer the phone. They don't give a shit about anybody's important mail or packages and don't seem interested in improvement whatsoever. I can't stand this location (well, most of them really) and do everything in my power to avoid having to come here. I understand COVID makes their jobs more difficult but it's not the public's fault yet they act as such. They should be ashamed of themselves. read more

They employees are clueless, rude and rub it into your face that they could not care less that they have no idea where your package is. Their Sandford branch is equally unhelpful. The facilities are appalling with moldy ceilings and grimy counters and floor. They managed to 'misplace' a registered mail with my mothers death certificate. It took them a week and the involvement of two supervisors to find it. Want a passport ? Tough luck. Not at this post office. You have to register weeks in advance for a 'special event' at the public library. read more

This is the worst place to go to sent a package, the customer service is horrible. I went to this place 3 times and the three times they talk to me with a super bad attitude. They talk to you like you are supposed to know everything. This people don't care about customers service, they just want to get pay and go home. read more

If i could give them zero stars i WOULD. These people have given me and my family problems for YEARS. They have a habit of not delivering mail to my area for up to a week which, I do not understand where else they could possibly be going???? Packages take absolutely forever to come and half the time are delivered late at night or at like 5am. The workers are rude and very obviously dont want their jobs. Ive been trying to find somewhere to complain but, to no avail. Disgusting service read more

This has to be the WORST post office with the worst carriers ever. They do not follow directions here and they're rude. My sisters package went mysteriously missing a week before mine so I put in a hold request to avoid that with my package. Of course my hold request was completely ignored. After it was sorted it was still put out for delivery. The mail carrier claimed to attempt a delivery which was a lie because I was at my door at that EXACT time. I go to the post office the next morning at 830 and one lady names Sheila I believe went to look for it. She didn't find it. I asked for management and her name. No names were given and no management came. The name i got I overhead it. Another lady came out and had to call my carrier on the phone because I was not leaving. The lady then says The girl pressed the wrong button. -_- WHAT. Instead of it saying mail is being held she pressed attempted delivery instead. PEOPLE I WAS LIVID. WHO DOES THAT WITHOUT CORRECTING IT. They are all VERY shady but I AM NOT thee one! Thankfully after all the nonsense I walked out with my package. But unfortunately my sister did not. read more

First they steal your packages (while posting online that it was "un-deliverable"), then they don't answer the phone at this branch...ever...Don't bother with the 800 number either, as hour plus wait times are the best you get. Use FedEx or UPS instead of these jokers. read more

Hands down the worst post office ive ever dealt with, I have had about 7 claims with consumer affairs, numerous lost packages and the number is useless they just hang up when they pick up after 20 + calls read more

This post office is the worst ever they need more workers . And the worst is that they don't care about the community they loose your mail and destroy them. I waited on line for more than 30 minutes, then i was sent to the back to speak to a supervisor who did not show up, as I stood there for another 25 minutes. Then I left this post office need new people to run it starting from the manager down. 15 s 1st Ave Mount Vernon NY 10550 read more

i stopped by this usps branch in mt vernon cause my buddy who was born in mt vernon ask me if i wanted to see some ghetto soap opera drama which i dont but i do need stamps and i am a little curious about all the fuss. ok its a fairly common typical post office and maybe a bit larger then most other post offices in westchester but again the common theme is long lines and only one or two clerks working at snails pace .while waiting on line for stamps i heard so much profanity from customers and the ghetto soap opera drama my buddy mentioned just started as a customer and clerk are going it at verbally non stop . this is one of worst post office around and the other yelp reviews are on point , this post office should install self service kiosk machines so the chance of dealing with a useless clerk is zero . i finally got my stamps and nothing more and its time to leave mount vernon asap. read more

This is the worst post office in the world!!!! One teller working on a Saturday morning!!! I wish all packages could be delivered via ups or fed ex. It's not like this in manhattan. And the customer service sucks. Everyone seems like they hate their job. The line is always busy when you call. read more

I hate this post office. I wish it would just shut down. I'd rather have to travel to a different location than be bothered with this one

This is by far the worst post office! The workers are slow and very rude! It's like they don't want to be there! I don't understand why they don't do something about it with all these bad reviews! On top of that I would never send a package with them the last time I did the package Was list for over a month and I had to call and do a trace. Finally after a month the package was found in the white plains office. read more

My mail man is great, I love him. Mitch is always courteous and professional. But the post office SUCKS. It seems that everyone hates to work there. They've lost my amazon package and Amazon had to refund. Their customer service window is a mystery. Nobody is ever really there. I would give 1 star but it looks like they have new management that is trying so they earned that 2nd star read more

No rating - system would not let me post without indicating a rating. This post office needs an overhaul customer service training for all employed in this post office. Someone at this USPS South 1st Avenue, Mount Vernon, NY lost a certified letter and can't find it since November 16, 2017. When I speak with the mailman, he states the letter is in the Post Office - "...it was not placed in the truck". I go to speak with the supervisor or postmaster and they are never there. I spoke with the window clerk and she responds to me like I am bothering her. She stated it was in the truck. NOW! Where is it???? Today is Thursday, December 7, 2017. I received a message at work from someone in this post office - and never identified himself and the number he provided just rings, rings, rings and then disconnects (like someone is picking up the phone and hanging up the call). What's worst the content of this letter is to pay for medical and prescriptions that I currently do not have. This facility should be closed and/or trained to be HUMANs in customer service world. read more

Stay away from this POST OFFICE.....unfortunately the employees are ignorant.....let me tell you why..1st I had my mail put on Hold January 27...with specific instructions who is to pick it up with ID....he went to pick up my hold mail a week later and was told the mail was delivered. What??? It should have been held....OK so day 2..at the post office..."We need ID of the person your getting mail for and your mail is with the carrier?. Why again it's hold mail...see the email with the confirmation number and instructions...Get the supervisor...Supervisor says. We need ID...all the information was presented....still no mail ...3rd day..we can't get in touch with your the mail carrier... By the way still no mail...mail carrier just vanished in the air...according to my informed delivery mail...17 pieces are still holding for pick up... read more

Be prepared to spend 30+min on line here especially on a Saturday when they have 1 clerk helping a line wrapped around the doorway

This is the Post Office from HELL.. I can attest to the truth of all the negative comments made before me and worse. I buy a lot on Ebay and if I do not receive my packages at home (more on that later), i HAVE TO go to this Post Office to receive the package. NO ONE will ever answer the listed phone number. The are supposed to open at 8:30. Many times the doors will not open until 8:45 and the first (and sometimes ONLY) clerk will not be ready to serve customers until 9:00 a.m. Postal drivers REGULARLY do not deliver your package; do not ring your bell; do not even fill out the orange pick up delivery slip. Many times I am tracking packages and it will say out for delivery before 9 a.m. By 9 p.m. at night it will still be OUT FOR DELIVERY. Before midnight it will say NO SECURE LOCATION AVAILABLE, which means they never even tried to deliver my package, but left this message. So off to this dreaded Post Office I go to retrieve the package they never even attempted to deliver, where I run into the aforementioned late openings, under staffing and THE RUDEST CLERKS YOU WILL EVER SEE. If I get out there before 30 minutes I count myself fortunate. Because of all of the problems with the service, the lines are long, you spend an inordinate amount of time in this place. This results in short fuses between the customers and I have seen several almost fights break out between customers, as their frustration with the poor level of service boils over. The meters on the street only go for 30 minutes so many people will have to leave their place in line, to fill the parking meter, or risk getting a $25 ticket. Parking on the street in inadequate as the local Section 8 office is at the corner and they open at the same time. Overall, if I could give them a NEGATIVE 50 (on a scale of 1-5 stars) I would. If you have the ability to avoid this Post Office, please do so. read more

Well then! That makes sense! I call them 5 times and no answer. The lady didn't even come by to deliver the mail today!! Unbelievable.

This is a terrible facility. On the other side in Yonkers they actually try to deliver your mail. There is a package that this post office tried to deliver one time and that's it. They claimed they couldn't get in the building. So how does the regular junk mail get into my box? The USPS is outdated and outmoded..... read more

they need to have two separate lines.... international and domestic...everytime I have to go there the line is out the door.....I am always on line for 30- 45 minutes...all of my business is always domestic (US ) only ! read more

Im unsatisfied like everyone else with this post office, the lines are always long and there is always constant mix ups with my packages being delivered. I tried to call and no one ever ever answers the phone. A few times my packages where delivered to another state. very unorganized place I hate going there. read more

I will never again mail anything of value to this Post Office. I sent a letter via Certified Mail, which still got "lost". The Postmaster, Samuel Swenson, never seems to be there, and no one answers the phones either. Zero accountability. You're better off putting mail in a bottle and hoping it gets down the Hudson. read more

This is by far the worst post office I have ever been to. They actually asked me and my service dog to leave because the woman behind the glass didn't like dogs. When I explained it was a service dog and that I had proof she told me I would have to HOLD THE DOG, or wait outside on the steps. The workers here are ignorant, rude and downright miserable. read more

The Mount Vernon Postal Service has always been problematic. If I could give it less than one star I would. The lastest fiasco is this: I ordered merchandise from Amazon Prime Day. I was home all day and got an e-mail saying that the USPS attempted to deliver my package at 6:17 PM and left a slip saying so. That was a lie. I was home all day and they never attempted any delivery and never left a notice. I called the number in the email and after being on-hold for one hour, they told me it would be at my local post office tomorrow from 9AM to 5PM. I went to my local Post Office and was told the package was not there and there were a number of others with the same problem. It appears the delivery person never actually tried to deliver the merchandise and falsely said that they did. This is fraud and abuse of the Postal Service. As of this posting I have received nothing, not even a call from the Postal Non-Service! Rosenblum Fisher Drive Mt. Vernon, NY read more

the mountvernon ny location should be shut down they scan your package as delivered and steel it nobody cares to do a thorough investigation i have lost over 10 packages same address and it ends the same way.you get a letter saying sorry but your purchased item is gone you are out of money and with no help fromthe postal system i wish i could give a zero star. read more

All of the reviews are absolutely true. They are thee worst post office I ever had to deal with. I lived in many places and never had so many issues. I have to get my stuff mailed to a family members house in the bronx so I can avoid the many issues. They lie about delivery yet there is no paper on your door. you only know by tracking it. They always put "Attempt to deliver." Carriers are so freaking lazy. I have seen packages dropped off in my building and left in the lobby by elevator where anyone can take it. I have many checks sent to my home which always seem to never make it to my mail box. I feel like the post office is stealing it. Also I have not gotten any mail in the last month not even junk mail, but I get someone else mail. I tried to make a complaint on line and they said they couldnt help and they will forward it to local post office. REALLY... if you have to get a package from post office. you will be waiting on line FOREVER and the meter is only 30min to park. You will still be waiting in line. you have to bring someone with you to sit in car and feed meter. this place is HORRIBLE and the attitudes are even worst. Since I moved to Mt Vernon 3 years ago. on going issues with mail. Mount Vernon have the absolute worst US post office. read more
