- DCDenise CoutureDec 28, 20231.0Putnam USPS Mail delivery is horrible. I have trouble walking. They came and knocked on my door because they had a letter for me to sign. I yelled wait a minute. By the time I got to the door he was in his truck. He just knocked and put a tag on my door. I tried to wave him down. It he just kept going. Poor service
- TPTaste of the HomeMakers - Edarrel PeloquinOct 25, 20195.0Absolutely highly recommended! Staff was super helpful and accommodating! There's still a lot of good people left in this world!
- BABeth AnnMar 20, 20191.0This is the absolute worst post office I’ve ever had to deal with. Ever since moving here, I’ve never gotten all of my mail. They continually forward different pieces of mail back to the senders. I had them hold my mail for 30 days for me. I went back and the woman at the counter said I had nothing. It wasn’t until recently when I got a post office box that I started actually getting some mail. When suddenly AGAIN...some of my mail was getting sent back or just not received at all. I will be filing a complaint with this mess of a business.
