Piss poor mail service from the person delivering the mail. Rude and disrespectful, jamming mail in my box, rather than putting a letter to receive my packages at the post office that are too large.

Good, little post office in the cute, little town of Alden. People always in & out taking care of their business. But you never wait too long in line. Good service.
