- SSSabrina Soini5 days ago1.0The 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.
- 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
- LMLauren MitchellJun 16, 20201.0Our postal woman is the worst. She always has some kind of issue with delivering packages, or she puts delivered and we receive no package. She keeps delivering someone elses mail to us, and on NUMEROUS times delivered our mail elsewhere. Very frustrating.
- MVM VJan 27, 20155.0The best ever post office,my postal woman Shirley goes over and beyond her call of duty ! I ship many packages and must say( I was a formal postal carrier, so it takes one to know one), I must say the carriers are top notch and the Postal Clerks are also some of the best ever..very patient,courteous and always smiling :)
