We stopped here on our way through Maine to mail my grandson’s birthday present. The clerk was working by herself 9/24 at about 1:15pm EST. Even though she was busy, she went beyond and above to help me mail my package as efficiently at a reasonable cost. Thanks to her, my grandson will get his package on time! Thank you so much!

Everytime I come here I get very bad service from "Suzie" at the front desk. She's very mean, doesn't wear her name tag for good reason, and will not go out of her way for anything. But what really bothered me is that she had the audacity to reach over the counter and give herself a good rating on my tap screen... This post office needs to get their act together. I would never work with someone like that.

I've had interactions with four different employees at the Rumford post office, and three out of those four interactions were unpleasant. This office does seem to do a good job of delivering customers' mail in a timely manner, so long as you don't need to utilize USPS's mail forwarding service. I moved from out of state in Q2 2024, and at my previous address you never knew when you were going to get your mail, so that contrast has been refreshing since moving here. However, I have zero confidence in setting up mail forwarding again here after what this office put me through the last time that I did so.
