- RDR DNov 11, 20251.0Incredibly rude staff, misinformed and unprofessional with a blatant distain for the public
- CJcolton jackOct 14, 20251.0Awful
- SLShannon LJul 22, 20251.0Over the years, this has gotten worse and worse. I understand that the job sucks, but honestly - there is zero reason why the po boxes should be closed after 5 pm. People who actually work don't get a chance to check mail. On top of that, it seems that things that should have been put in the box don't get put there even if the tracking system says "delivered". In the past, they've left my old mailbox door wide open, which allowed mail and packages to get wet. They've rolled up packages that were obviously soft cover books and shoved them uncaring into my old mailbox. I've not encountered someone over the years who has said they get their mail on time, in good shape, and dropped with consideration. Some of the staff do try to be pleasant! But frankly, it seems that the rash of iffy to awful service to the community has been overshadowing any real efforts to make it better. It is not a new phenomenon that this office runs horribly, but here's hoping that will change!!!! 🤞🤞🤞
- SHScott HallJun 28, 20251.0Would it kill you people to be open till noon on Saturday?
- JSJohn and Kate SmithJun 17, 20255.0Contacted Brandy at the Canaan post office on the phone because I was expecting two packages that I wanted held at the post office for me to pick up. Two days later I went to the post office in person and Brandy had my packages ready for me. On both the phone Brandy was friendly, helpful, and pleasant to deal with, I really appreciated her in assisting me!
