I've had good and bad experiences here. The people that work the desk are nice and they keep the line moving. The reason I came to write a review today is because I've just dealt with my second instance of theft related to this branch. The first time it happened, I had mailed my cousin some posters that she saw at a shop in Boulder. She sent me money to go buy them for her and ship them to her. I bought a cardboard poster tube from the post office, stuck them in there, and mailed them. Word of advice: ALWAYS tape up your poster tube. It arrived to her house in Fort Worth empty. Now for the second time...my husband has been wanting Sylvion the card game, so we ordered it off of Amazon the other day for it to arrive today. He was willing to go buy it at the store and go through the hassle and extra expense, but we eventually decided to buy it online. The envelope arrived today and was cut open with what looks like a blade, and completely empty. Why the delivery driver would deliver an obviously opened and empty envelope is beyond me. This is not even the first time we've received a package that was already opened from USPS (the first time being a box from amazon with grass seed in it - the box was opened but I guess they realized they didn't want to steal grass seed). Since this is now the second instance of theft I've encountered this year from USPS, I can only assume that the thief works at the Lafayette branch. Since absolutely nothing came of my complaint the first time around, and the insurance conveniently doesn't cover theft, I'm here to warn you to not waste your hard earned money and go with UPS or FedEx, or any other private company that won't steal your stuff.
USPS - you should really put some surveillance cameras in your sorting room and actually monitor them. read more
