- KDKen DaviesDec 30, 20235.0Staff at the Railroad Avenue, Chatham, NY branch are efficient, knowledgable, polite, friendly, and kind. For that reason, living in Chatham Center I always go there in preference to the Valatie Post Office.
- WHwilliam HillyardAug 23, 20234.0Very friendly, helpful & knowledgeable staff in the office. Our delivery people have been very good too. Only issues I have had are with mail being held while away - on occasion it is a little inconsistent.
- DFDaNON FlasherJul 12, 20213.0Close quarters inside.
- MMMaryDec 29, 20193.0Fairly inconsistent service whether in the office or getting our deliveries at home. Would benefit from a self service machine. Feels like a post office from the 1800s sometimes...
