- MBMarcel BartleySep 29, 20255.09-29-25 Made a mistake on a parcel shipping it to this post office instead of my home post office. Spoke with Monty and he was great agreeing to hold the package there for me until my arrival which is a month away. Usually it would be shipped back to the sender if not picked up within a couple of weeks. Nice community minded service, thanks much.
- ACAle ColindresJul 28, 20255.0Absolutely blown away with the customer service here !! Thank you so much this will be my go to post office for whatever I need thank you so so much ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
- TBTom BennettJan 15, 20255.0A couple of the other post offices weren't able to help me with a matter. I reluctantly went to the Cortez branch expecting the same result. But I was wrong, Monty and Sarah were a huge help! They went over and above. On a separate visit (a day after a holiday) I went in and they were crowded so I almost left. What I needed would take time so I thought they'd brush me off. Cody, not only took his time with me, he was an enormous help as well. The Cortez Post Office has always given me good friendly service and they will do the extra. I truly appreciate them!
- TSTina SmithJun 26, 20205.0There are quite a few one star reviews for this location (They are all 2-3 yrs old) and no indication of the service now provided . Made a passport application appointment for 10:15 and was taken as soon as we arrived. Heidi, the Postmaster assisted us and was very professional, friendly and conversational. Month was the other staff member and he was friendly and polite. This post office is not near me, but had an appointment available. I would come to this location again based on todays level of service.
