US Postal Service رقم هاتف الدعم الفني

Before calling this number, you should know that it's meant to be used for insurance claims, problems with shipping labels and damages to mail. It is not meant to be used for general questions or informational assistance.

As such, this number's automated system really doesn't understand certain commands, and you'll have to be careful with what you ask it. When I called, the system initially told me I could get four free COVID tests delivered to my home at no cost if I wanted to place an order. It mentioned that I could also report service issues or learn about service alerts, or I could remain on the line for assistance.

When I chose to remain on the line, I was taken to the technical support area of the system and asked if I was calling about how-to information. I said yes, thinking that would give me a chance to ask my planned question about media mail. However, I was only given the choice of creating a click-and-ship label or filing an insurance claim. Without any real options, I went to the insurance claim menu to see if I could get anything sorted out.

At this point, the system gave me some information on filing a claim and said it could send me a text message with information on filing a claim if I wanted. I agreed and provided my phone number, and the system sent me a message with a working link within a minute. The system then asked if anything else could be done to assist me, and I mentioned that I'd like to speak to someone.

However, the system informed me that all customer service representatives were assisting clients, and I would have to wait more than 30 minutes for the next available employee. With that being the case, I opted not to wait and hung up.

Overall, I thought there were some good things here, but also room for improvement. I did like how the system gave you a warning if you wouldn't be able to get your case solved right away; it seemed like the system was actively discouraging people from wasting time if they could solve things another way. I also liked that the information provided was accurate and useful for filing a claim.

I didn't like how it's impossible to use this number for information if you aren't calling about a claim or damaged mail. I get that the post office is worried more about damaged mail, but even an automated message with information would be quite helpful. As it is, you need to know what you're calling about before you dial.

If I did, I'd use this number with no hesitation. As it is, I'd call if I knew for sure where I needed help; I'd wait or pass if I wasn't certain of what the issue might be.
