Post Office Fake Hours and 4 Hour Long Lunch Breaks

My local post office is severely unreliable with their hours of operation and often times put a sign up that “systems are down” to avoid opening. Every day they will take their lunch break at 12 PM and reopen at 4 PM (no sign on the door that they are taking a lunch break at X time), and on Saturdays they will lock the doors by 12PM when they are supposed to open from 9 AM - 2:30 PM. Many people have tried to file a complaint, left 1 star reviews and complain about the doors always being locked, but this issue has been ongoing for the past 3 years with no solution. I have tried calling and filing an online complaint, but have been left unanswered. Does anyone know how I can get this issue escalated?

FYI- this is the post office located in Chicago Chinatown. Address: 2345 S Wentworth Avenue Ste A

Package Delivered, however not in mailbox. Mailed USPS....

Curious if anyone works at the USPS or has similair experience. Tracking number indicates delivered at mail box, but do not see anything delivered. I emailed USPS and received confirmation number of investigation from the local branch. Question is what actually happens regarding the search, do speak to mail carrier, etc. This was a tracked package. I think this was not my normal carrier as the delivery timing differed.

5 Days Without Mail Delivery

What the heck is going on with the USPS? It's been 5 days since we've had any mail delivery! And that includes nothing again today. This includes regular mail, junk mail, bills, Father's Day cards, in our city the Daily and Sunday newspapers, everything! I realize that postal carriers can be busy on some days. My wife's father and uncles all retired from the USPS after 30 years. So we understand what they go through. But this is rediculous!! Don't get me wrong. I am absolutely not blaming the carriers. Many of them, if not all, are working their butts off. But something is clearly broken with the USPS!!

How does this happen?

I ordered something and the only option they had was sending thru USPS. Thankfully i know by now USPS is a scam and intentionally f*cks with people so i never pay for faster shipping options like overnight/next day. It shows that the shipment was received 6 days ago but it’s still “pending acceptance”. How does it take basically a week to get accepted - and it still isn’t 😂. I honestly don’t see what is so hard about this - USPS isn’t the only job that has high volume, short staffing and craziness - but somehow they’re the only ones that struggle this much?😂
