- DEDawn EricksenSep 18, 20255.0I’ve been mailing quite a few packages lately. When I pop into the Ellenton Post Office, I am always greeted by Jose with a smile. Jose is always so helpful with the most cost effective way to mail my items and they have the best stamps! All I can say is Jose, (I didn’t get the other gentleman’s name) are awesome! They both always brings a smile to my face after a very long day.
