Extremely Disappointed with Misleading Information and Rude Staff
I had a very frustrating and disappointing experience at the USPS Post Office located at 8501 N MacArthur Blvd, Irving, TX 75063. I went in to ship a SanDisk 1TB storage device internationally to India — something I've done multiple times before with no issues, including shipping laptops and other electronics.
To my shock, the staff adamantly insisted that USPS does not ship any electronics internationally. Not only is this factually incorrect (as confirmed later by USPS customer care), but the staff refused to even look up the official USPS prohibited items list, which clearly does not list flash storage as restricted to India. Their behavior was dismissive, rude, and completely unprofessional. The lady at the front desk when asked for a supervisor said, we don't have a supervisor.
Despite my calm explanations and past experience, three different staff members continued to insist I was wrong — making no effort to verify the actual shipping policy. Only the supervisor showed a little willingness to help, but by then the experience was already frustrating and embarrassing.
I eventually had to call USPS customer care myself and file an official complaint. I’m now waiting for a written confirmation from USPS that clearly states this item is not prohibited, just to prove that this post office staff was completely in the wrong.
This whole experience was unnecessarily stressful, and frankly shocking — the lack of basic knowledge and unwillingness to assist is unacceptable. The staff at this location clearly needs retraining on both USPS international shipping policies and customer service.
Avoid this location if you’re looking for courteous, knowledgeable service — or at least be prepared to educate them about their own policies.
