I was at the Emmett post office last week , mailing out 3 Nilla envelopes to my family. The clerk Chris kept feeling the envelopes like he was feeling for gift cards , the only contents I had in those 3 envelopes were pictures of my deceased parents, my kids grandparents I literally told him to stop bending these envelopes. CHRIS gave me my receipt and says they should receive them by Monday . I hope they do. BTW I have pictures of all 3 envelopes on my cell phone . If they're not delivered i know who took them. I had the same problem at the Sonora post office I'm still dealing with , the carrier there stoled my sisters package. I learned the hard way before mailing anything out take pictures, it shows proof you sent it out and the receipt

Closing this size office just for a 30 minute break is extremely old school and no other office does it. Catch up to the rest of the country Emmett.

They said they notified me of a package that needed a signature and they did not. They say now that the package was returned to sender and that the sender should have it. I contacted the seller and they did not receive the package back. The seller's tracking shows "delivered to an individual". It was a one of a kind art piece. Very dissatisfied with this post office.

Absolutely the laziest mail delivery drivers. They will not even attempt to deliver your package. Don't expect much from these excuse makers, they dont accept responsibility for anything. Typical government agency!
