Just received a birthday present that was left out in the pouring rain underneath my mailbox. It is soaking wet. Thanks USPS.

Without 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.
