- ABAndrea BakerDec 3, 20255.0I think the Athol Ma Post Office is Great I ship from there at least 3-4 days a week!! Wayne & Mark are very pleasant, always ready to help me with any questions I might have. I am not a relative or family member just a very satisfied customer!!
- SSSabrina SoiniNov 19, 20251.0The clerks here are awful. Aggressive, rude, mean, lazy. I've been bullied by the older guy with the glasses, and other people in the town have told me they also have. Something should be done about it, customers shouldn't have to leave shaking and crying, as I did today. They also reach over and check off "excellent experience" on the card reader for the customer rating, which she not be allowed!! Definitely looking for an alternative service. I'd rather pay an extra fee than be treated like this.
- ABAndré BedardJun 3, 20241.0I live a block away from this post office and almost every time I have a package out for delivery it somehow doesn’t get here that same day and is always late.
- AHApril HodgdonApr 7, 20241.0This post office is a joke!! 6 years I've been dealing with theft of mail by a neighbor and nothing is done. Not to mention the fill in carriers continue to leave my mail ON THE NEIGHBOR'S PORCH 15 FEET FROM MY MAILBOX. THE NEIGHBOR THAT HAS STOLEN MULTIPLE PACKAGES, HAS HELD 3 SEPARATE CHECKS, AND CERTIFIED MAIL!! I HAVE THE NICEST MAIL CARRIER BUT THE PEOPLE WHO RUN POST OFFICE ARE A JOKE!! CALL YOUR THE POSTMASTER BECAUSE THIS POST OFFICE IS A JOKE!! 2 OTHER NEIGHBORS ON MY STREET HAVE THE SAME ISSUE!!
- DLDevin LydenFeb 11, 20241.0They refuse to deliver packages because there's dogs.... that'll just sit and bark for a minute. We have delivery trucks run thru constantly and never have problems but athols usps is clearly incapable of doing their jobs. Average government job experience I suppose
