- LDLarissa DybalaSep 12, 20254.0I have never had an issue here with getting things shipped, but always have a plan going in and have all the relevant information ready, otherwise you would likely feel very rushed
- ECEric CooperDec 16, 20221.0Just received a birthday present that was left out in the pouring rain underneath my mailbox. It is soaking wet. Thanks USPS.
- EMEleanor MurrayNov 7, 20221.0Without checking first, the surly Gales Ferry postal worker sent me on my way to Ledyard to pick up mail that had been held. I just moved here and asked where it was and she advised me to "use GPS." Got there - they don't even have it. Seriously, this is the best you can do to help out a newcomer? Ledyard office was very nice.
