- JEJulie EidsonJul 14, 20255.0The folks at the Ely Post Office are the most kind, considerate, caring professionals I have ever encountered in the entire USPS. And I have lived in many places around America and dealt with many different post office people. The folks in Ely sincerely try to help, even though they have to deal with hordes of snowbirds who come and go every year. Your service is invaluable. You stand head and shoulders above the rest of the postal service. Thank you all so much!
- JPJacob PriebeJul 13, 20241.0Pay for all these things to get my mail faster but yet they decide when they wanna deliver or not, ignore it or not, 9/10 times it’s late. Wish they’d be better.
