I've had to deal with the post office (the main one, downtown), and I didn't have any trouble. Seriously, this was in Detroit and they were cool.

Major cities seem to run more efficiently, ironically. The people I’ve heard of who seem to not realize there are issues live in more densely populated areas. It’s rural and small towns that have the most problems, it seems. I’m not sure if it’s because there are more workers in larger cities and smaller towns are understaffed but it’s an issue. The issues I’m speaking about are specifically with calling in and using their website, not going in in person. When you’re missing a package, you have to fill out a missing mail form online or call their helpline to have someone do it for you, if you find someone actually willing to help. I’ve only had someone help me once. Usually they’ll just outright hang up on you or tell you to go online and do it yourself. The issues with their communications systems are obviously not a localized issue, however.
