    Terrific and friendly service at this small town post office. I often find it quicker to drive to Fairfax than to stand in a long line at the Wiley Blvd. office.

    Contrary to some other reviews, I always receive EXCELLENT service. Fairfax - as a town and community, benefits so much for having a local post office. Thank you

    Great service, and friendly, knowledgeable staff. Highly recommend using the Fairfax Post office location. Much shorter wait time than the Cedar Rapids branch. If you are having problems with mail not being delivered correctly, contact the Wiley postal station, because your mail comes out of Wiley, not Fairfax. The USPS made that change a few years ago, and they can't correct the problems if you don't tell them what is happening!
