    Small post office location in Mt Vernon. Due to the small location, I feel like the service was quick and friendly, with little to no wait time.

    I have used this post office many times. Mailing Christmas cards, packages, and even getting my Passport. All employees are very kind and helpful every single time. I love having this service right here in Mount Vernon.

    Not happy today. Waiting for a package, sponges which were out for delivery today 12/01/23. Saw the mailman put the mail in my box but no package, sponges. The tracking showed still out for delivery. At 8pm tracking showed it was delivered but no package here. The mail person put in tracking it was delivered at 4pm with the other mail. Kinda looks like he may have ditched the package and fabricated the delivery and time. Nothing worse than a dishonest mail person.
