- JBJamee BooneSep 29, 20231.0I stopped my daughter at the Cheswold Post Office (Delaware, Kent County) today. It was convenient and on the route back home. She had to mail off an important envelope. After about 5-7 minutes, she returned to the car and shared with me her experience. She said she was greeted not by desk/window staff but by an African-American woman sweeping the floor. She didn't get a "good morning, hello, or welcome," but rather a greeting of "Where did you put your cigarette butt?" My daughter wasn't smoking a cigarette therefore no butt to discard. Hmmmmm -- it does make me wonder if this is how staff there greet all customers. What made that employee think it was okay to even ask that question without seeing a cigarette? It was my daughter's first (and probably last) visit to that post office.
- LFLogan FieldsMar 8, 20212.0Terrible service. The ladies behind the counter were incredibly rude, not at all helpful and acted like every question I had was a problem. All simple enough to answer, essentially yes or no questions. Similar issues in the past. Will absolutely not be using this post office again.
- BTBrianc tecNov 24, 20202.0Didn’t like this little PO. The mailbox outside is too small to even barely put a letter in and the mail deposit inside doesn’t even allow you to put a small package inside. this isn’t 1930 anymore people mail more than just letters. They should decommission this Post Office and build back better.
