Just wanted to take a moment to acknowledge my postal carrier, Karina, with the GV office. She is always so friendly and helpful. I am disabled and she goes above and beyond to make sure my packages are delivered promptly and with care. I’ve never lived anywhere where I’ve received such great service from a postal worker! Thank you!!

They leave a notice that an item will be redelivered but they hold it for a week then send notice that you have to pick it up without trying to redeliver. Not just a one time thing...it happens over and over, year after year.
