- EHEduard C HanganuApr 3, 20234.0Small Post Office that serves Melvern.
- KMKevin MarshFeb 19, 20182.0While the staff, carriers, and workers are super friendly and nice, and also the fact that there is a local post office facility even serving our very small populated community town, the hours of operation are not at all convenient, to say the least. This is especially true for folks that need to be to their respective jobs, and require an actual USPS worker to help with customized shipping needs from a customer, all-the-while being closed well before the time folks return home from work to get their packages or mailings taken care of then. Not to mention the 1 hour of opportunity on Saturdays to get any mailing business achieved as well.
