- TTThe69th TigrexJun 25, 20255.0This specific post office was very nice! Always a pleasure to drop off my stuff for shipping with the workers behind the counter here!
- JJJustinMar 21, 20251.0Worst experience ever. Their system took 700 from me. They only refunded $350. Getting lawyer as soon as possible.
- JMJill MooreFeb 13, 20211.0Well my last post was deleted by the Wood River Post Office. My guess is because they did not like hearing the truth. The Post Master Jane, went out of her way to not help me considering my package was mailed out of her post office December 1, 2020 and then only to be returned under false actions back to my house instead of the military base in S. Korea like it was intended almost 3 months later. It is one thing to be overwhelmed, during the holidays, but then to refuse to refund my postage because of the mistakes caused by the USPS is another thing. I had to get the USPS advocate group involved and they 100% agreed with me and requested the post office to issue my refund. Thank goodness for them because, it was clear the Post Master does not understand the proper procedures or have the common decency to do what is right. The fact that they took down my original response proves once again that a formal apology from Jane is just too much. It's sad that she made no effort to resolve the problem and thus the horrific 2.7 rating of this post office. In my eyes the Wood River Post Office deserves 0 stars.
