Excellent service at Waynesville office. Inadvertently put in outside mailbox 3 bills my husband forgot to put stamps on. He realized, I went back to PO, explained my issue. Riley, said no prob. Went out and got box, went thru it, got bills. Bought three stamps and mailed. Great job Riley! And kudos to the lady working next to you for working a bit short handed while Riley helped me.

How can USPS be so bad? You'd think they'd be universally trained, consistent with other USPSs. There are no pens/markers to use, and the Priority tape is hoarded/hidden unless you ask for it to tape up your Priority box and you get the stink eye (what am I supposed to do when they offer flat boxes? It has to be taped!!). No one said "hey, good afternoon, how can I help?", no greeting, no smiles even. Been to a hundred USPS and never left a review this bad or was treated so poorly. Someone should be reading this and retraining the staff!!

our postal people are the nicest and most helpful. My delivery person for 20 years has been excellent and when I go into the post office for any shipping stamps or service they're always cheerful and helpful. When I have needed my mail held they were excellent and could retrieve it easily and quickly.

If i could leave 0 stars, I would, this place is nothing but a joke. Especially the supervisor, Wendy McLamb, there is nothing professional about flirting with the married men who work here.
