Avoid this location, go 5 minutes up the road to the Falls Village one if you want actual service. The handful of times I have gone to the North Canaan post office, I instantly regret it. Today, I tried to ship a very light box (under 5lbs) to Albany (one hour away) and the man at the counter wanted to charge me $50. On top of paying for their PREPAID box. Then I had an envelope to ship to Canada and he charged me $17. I’ve shipped multiple things throughout my life and never have I ever paid anything remotely close to this. After trying to give this location a few chances, I’d rather make the drive elsewhere.
