Kimberly Barrett, the Postmaster at Shady Side, went repeatedly out of her way to help me find out a package that had been misdirected. I'm quite amazed by the level of service and am very appreciative.

yet again packages left out in the pouring rain. at least leave them between the screen door and front door if there’s no bag in your vehicle. wish amazon/ups would stop dropping off at shady side. they obviously dont care/have enough to do.

Delivery drivers seem that they don't know how to do this job, second time in two months I've not gotten my packages or they have sent it to another address on my block. Doesn't seem like it's hard to look at stuff before putting in a mail box or sort the mail out better to make sure you have it set for the right address......
