I tried to reach a representative at Valmont.
The mailboxes on the north end of Fulton Circle Boulder 80301:
the back side of the boxes was left open and unlocked..THIS IS AN URGENT MESSAGE.
This woman is MARY. She is a postal employee, who Calle the post office ‘her post office’ ! She is a nasty self entitled condescending rude woman who violated a Father and his Sons rights for make a travel video and taking photographs in the post office which is public property.
This woman definitely is a horrible human being barking orders to members of the public, those to whom she is meant to ‘SERVE’! Mary forgets she is a PUBLIC SERVANT and who she works for!
How dare she call the post office hers! Who the hell does she think she is! She isn’t even anyone in authority! She is just a counter server with an enormous ego!
This TYRANT of a woman need to be fired immediately!
I utterly despise how entirely automated all kinds of customer services have become…
The post office right now sent me through a labyrinthine series of automated options, only to completely fail at sending me to a live representative when I followed (most perfectly) their instructions to speak with a real human… I guess corporations (both federal and private) these days think that our species is going to transform into soulless disembodied cyborgs anyway, so we’re a lost cause for them.
FAIL. Express delivery, overnight guaranteed NOPE. It hasn't even left the post office and it is 30 hours. Use FEDEX or UPS or even just walk it to your destination.
I drove up to drop off a letter in the mail box and letters flung out at me. One dropped in the water by my car. I got out dried off the letter the best I could, tried to put it back in but it was filled. Could not put another letter in there. Apparently they only check it once a month. Sorry if you had any bills that needed to be delivered.
The US Postal Service is broadly incompetent but this location is absolutely abysmal. They delivered a package to a parcel locker but provided no notice, no address for the parcel locker, and no access information. The same employees have worked here for years and their attitudes just keep getting worse.
This is the second time a package has been returned to the sender(International) as the substitute carrier DOES NOT KNOW WHERE MY HOUSE IS and sends it back!!! Call and call and Nobody picks up the phone,
Workers here don't seem to care one bit. I dropped of a padded envelope with pre-paid label a week ago and they haven't even scanned it in yet. The tracking site just says "USPS awaiting item". Avoid this location at all cost!
They will never answer the phone! I have a post office box at the Valmont location and when I need assistance with ANYTHING I cannot get through to an agent, the phone rings and rings and rings and then disconnects you when nobody answers on their end. Extremely frustrating and unnecessary. Surely there is a manager on duty at this location who can answer the phone when counter agents are busy!
We have horrible problems receiving our neighbors' mail. I've reported it off and on for 5 months and never get a reply. I have called and called and called the Valmont station and never get an answer. I'm told from other POs that they don't give out an email, even for a general mailbox. What has to happen to get through?
I've been calling this post office today, without success. After listening to all the options, the phone disconnects.
I'm calling because I have my mail forwarded through the premium forwarding service, but was sent someone else's mail instead of mine. This makes me think my mail might have been forwarded to someone else, as well.
What can I do? Please advise.
The postal worker that works in the back collecting bulk should not EVER be allowed to interact with humans. He literally yelled at me tonight bc I DIDN'T sort the mail? WTH? He needs serious anger management training and i am the 5th person at my company that he has exploded on for now the 5th different issue we should be doing with our mail. I want to log a formal complaint filed because he is super threatening and i want this on record for when he does explode. It is only a matter of time. Can someone please respond to me. I can't imagine he would not have been fired by any of you for the tone, the way he spoke to me and his degrading speech. I get it, he's stressed and the only one back there but he could have at least ask me NICELY if i could sort mail, jump through fire and spun around 6x and done his job for him. Wow, what a bad reflection for all of you nice people working hard for us. The fact that this continues to happen whenever we drop off boxes or packages is concerning. It's not ok to yell and have a temper tantrum on innocent people. If he hates his job, he needs to quit. You can look up my company name and call me or email me.
It’s been a few years, but I do remember it was a requirement when doing bulk mailings for my company to be sure to “sort” (this was done by printing the address labels in zip code order) and for all the mail pieces to stay in order. Bulk mail rates used to be significantly less than 1st class rates. It made sense that we did a little extra work to prepare (sort) the pieces in order to receive the discounted postage rate.

They have confirmed that the package “should be somewhere in their facility” but it has been 2 weeks and they haven’t found it. I went in and talked to them twice now, giving them my name and number and they said they would contact me. Never did. It’s very frustrating!
This post office is impossible to contact by phone and it's extremely frustrating, especially for a company that processes hundreds of packages each month. I have a package that is missing and cannot get to the bottom of it.
I recently mailed a package overseas. It was a gift for my father and I completed the customs declaration form online, printed it off and took it with me. The counter clerk processed everything, attached the form to my package, entered stuff into his computer, charged me a boatload of money and then a week later the package came back to me because there was a problem with the barcodes on the form! Apparently the employee had utterly failed to notice this when he taped the form to my package. What a waste of time and money. And my father doesn't have his gift. I want to talk with the manager about this but I highly doubt he/she will a) be available and b) care.
This postal service system is lacking in both efficiency and common decency towards customers. When asked a question, one of the workers, Al Sullivan, proceeded to yell at me and call me stupid for not understanding why my package was going back to Denver, when it was in Boulder where it was supposed to be delivered, and then hung up when asked if I could be transferred to a supervisor. When I called back to complain, they said a manager was in the building at the moment. These people are rude, and lack common customer service training.
I received a notice that a parcel was being held because there was $1.12 in postage due, I went to the parcel pickup window and stood in line for approximately 20 minutes and was then told that they only accept "exact change" at that window which I didn't have. So I then had to go to the regular teller line and stand about another 20 minutes because they could make change. That's over 40 minutes of time to complete a $1.12 transaction! That made me think that the USPS needs to have a published rating for each of its locations of 'lifetimes unnecessarily' wasted standing in line! I see that you're hiring for jobs that require no experience that start at $51,000/yr. and I'm happy about that - I don't want anyone working for a wage that doesn't allow them to sustain themselves - but is it too much to ask that the level of service and respect for your customer's time be as good (it doesn't have to be better) as the average Starbucks barista who probably earns a great deal less?
Just left this Post Office feeling very frustrated and I couldn't wait. Line was very long, as it always is during the Holiday. There were three of the six stations open. I don't think I have ever been to this post office and have seen every station open. May i suggest, if they don't have the people to staff the stations, they remove them? It's very frustrating to be standing in a line with 40 people and see those stations empty. Also- could there be posted an "estimated wait" sign? If we have to wait an hour- at least we would know! That may alleviate some of frustration. It's such a great location and i know it could better serve it's patrons!
In the lobby and next to the line, all the slots with forms had run out of their forms, but then I went through the line, I got hassled for not having that paperwork filled out "in advance" for my international package. I can't fill out a form that's not available in the lobby. Then they told me I should "ask" if I can't find the right form. Well, how am I going to ask without waiting in the line? I did wait in the line, and then I got hassled for not asking. It's a total Catch-22. In the past, I've generally been happy using the Valmont post office, but I think my next international package will go fedex. From now on, I'll use the post office for domestic mail only. I don't need the hassle of being told I did something wrong when I didn't.
This post office has TERRIBLE COSTUMER SERVICE. A package that was marked delivered NEVER SHOWED UP - I have talked in person to the delivery man and he basically told me SHIT I have no idea where that package is. I call the post office DAILY and there is usually never a response or a voicemail to leave a message... it just keeps ringing. The one time i did get a hold of someone on the phone from Valmont USPS location, they basically told me there was nothing they could do even though it was completely their fault. So far they have offered no solutions and I have paid for my item but do not have it my possession. this situation with USPS has been absolutely ridiculous and frustrating
This Valmont branch SUCKS!! We mailed a package -- the clerk convinced us his shipping label would "stick to anything" so stuck it on our dry bag. Well...it didn't stick as the dry bag never made it to its intended location NOR was returned to us! We contacted this branch several days after it was supposed to be delivered but they told us there wasn't anything they could do -- BUT THERE WAS...they could have contacted the Aurora branch to track it down. The only help was the branch manager in Telluride who tried to track the package back, but couldn't find it. We then were told to file a "Mail Recovery Center Search Request", which we've been waiting 5 months for some response from them and have heard NOTHING!! Today, I went to the Valmont branch to file a claim to get our $50 back and the indifferent clerk told me I had to go to the Main Branch to file the claim. I went there and the indifferent clerk there told me since I "have all the information it would be easier for (me) to file the claim online". I now understand why people go postal!! This indifferent bunch of clowns!! The USPS should be closed down!! We will never mail any packages with the USPS ever again!! May they rot!
