Good people who care.
Every time I've had an issue with our carrier/deliveries, issues have been resolved with the upmost care and attention. Not sure why they get a bad reputation with these reviews, but every single time I've contacted them with a serious issue, things have been resolved in a recently manner. This ranges from misdelivered packages to the wrong parcel box or even maybe a new carrier on our route. We're all human and we do make mistakes. Kudos to the post master and thank you for all you do for our community.

They throw packages around in the back and typically only have one person working the counter. Terribly managed

5 stars for this visit ONLY. An employee named Brian helped me today and he was kind, helpful, and fast. I haven’t been treated this well here in so long I don’t remember because I will do anything to avoid visiting this PO. I am normally met with impatience, eye rolling, and condescension. Why not have this guy do the training!? Thank you for being a positive addition to my day.

The worst post office ive ever experienced. Constantly delivers my mail and packages to wrong addresses (my neighbors have said it too). I decided to buy a PO Box at the Grass Valley post office to avoid lost mail and they STILL lose your package IN THEIR OWN BUILDING. When I asked for assistance in finding my mail/packages, I literally had a guy shrug his shoulders and say, "call the supplier and have them send you a new one." G.V. mail is a disaster
