- JDJill DayApr 12, 20251.0My Saturday mail carrier walks past my house if they have no makl delivery, even when I have outgoing mail that is very evidently hanging outside my mail box for pick up. This happens quite often. I am located in Grand Rapids, MN.
- JJJoselynAug 1, 20243.0Because everything usually is online now, they should allow verification online with our proof of residence. Some people can't get to certain places or are too busy.
- PPPatrick PetersApr 2, 20205.0Absolutely the best P.O. I have ever visited. The staff members are so thoughtful, helpful, kind, smart and polite....on every visit.
