After reading through the comments regarding the Carthage Post Office, I am compelled to write:
I have been a Carthage resident for nearly 60 years, served by this post office. My experience inside has always been positive, whether buying stamps, sending packages, or even when applying for a passport.
People are people, subject to good days and bad days. But I found that a quick smile and and a friendly greeting has *ALWAYS* been met with a kind reply, quick, courteous service, and prompt help.
I have noticed some irregularities in delivery times from the carriers in the village. But I also recognize that there are factors outside their control that can be at play. They always deliver, even on Sundays if they get behind due to mail volume.
All said, I am quite please with the Carthage office and those that give it their best, even when the snarly ones walk in off the street.

Not impressed with the inconsistent delivery times and one evening I was sitting in my living room, anticipating a package delivery- and they apparently input in their system they "attempted" to deliver at 6 at night but "couldn't find a secure location"...
I am currently waiting for another package today that has been "out for delivery" since 9:10 am - mail is usually in our boxes by 11:30, lately its been around 1pm... Its currently 3:30 pm and I saw her truck drive by up to the apartments behind us and the ones of too the left but have not seen her drive down our road to deliver mail yet- I haven't paid enough attention to know for certain what her route usually is but I *thought* she usually drove down our road first and then did a u-turn at the oxford st and went back up to whispering woods after us... We'll see if I get my mail today.
Also leaves notes in our mailboxes about how we need to clear several feet of snow and nice from around our box in the middle of winter- which the towns snowplows are responsible for packing in there... Yeah, lady, my plastic shovel can't do jack for 3 feet of ice that a 2-ton plow pushed in there. Thanks for withholding my mail.... and then "she can't see our mail box in the spring and summer and has driven past it because of the foilage and grass growing there"... That the town is *supposed* to maintain... Its because my mailbox is black, and everyone else's is white, isn't it?
Sarcasm aside- really not impressed with these postal workers.
