- JJJG6 days ago3.0Helpful in person but don’t bother calling; they won’t pick up the phone.
- JTJake TrpeskiDec 27, 20251.0I was waiting all day for my package only to get a message that says "delivery location inaccessible." Mind you I'm in a regular subdivision and the incompetent driver never stopped or even tried to make the delivery.

- GMGail ManningtonSep 19, 20255.0Nicholas just stopped at my address to deliver mail. He is new and came to inform me that our permanent mailman would be assigned in about 2 months. Nicholas saw me struggling as I was trying to hang a swing in my front tree and he offered to help, bringing up my mail. We had a short conversation and he helped throw the rope over a branch that I could not reach. He is outgoing, very respectful, kind and compassionate. I said I would love for you to be my mail deliverer. Thank you for employing upstanding people in our community. He is an absolute pleasure and should be promoted. I live in the 46385 area on Kingston Drive.
