I feel very lucky to have my little Kernville post office. Over the years, I keep trying to send gift parcels out to family and friends, only to find out that they're a little too heavy or a little too large, or I've used the wrong packaging, etc., so it costs a small fortune to ship, or I have to modify my parcels to be able to afford shipping at all.
It's always a shock when that happens, it's always my ignorance that causes the problems, and the folks there are always very supportive and kind. The manager is especially knowledgeable and always helpful and friendly. The prices aren't their fault, and they are wonderful people.
