This is easily the best Post Office in the country. There is really no comparison. Celeste, the Postmaster in Ocracoke, is beyond fantastic. I don't know how anyone could have a negative experience here. When you walk into this place, forget everything you thought you knew about the United States Postal Service. I've never seen anything like it. I wish every post office had a small town feel like this.
