We visited Dayton in the summer of 2025 for 2 months and did not have a mailbox for mail delivery at our Airbnb. Consequently, we had to go to the post office 2-3 times a week to get our mail. Everyone who works there has been absolutely marvelous! They are friendly, kind, helpful, and go out of their way to make every interaction a positive one. When we were ready to leave and still had 2 packages that had not arrived they were very reassuring and told us that they would make sure that the mail was forwarded on to us. And, as one reviewed commented, there is hardly ever a line that you have to wait in. Love this PO!

This is a big shout out to Lizzy at the Dayton post office. I phoned with questions regarding my deceased mother's mail service. Lizzy was so kind and helpful. She even called me back with additional information. I have never had such a positive experience at the post office. Great job Lizzy and thank you!

The post office employees are super friendly (which I am grateful for). However, I have to say that the mail is frequently delivered to the wrong addresses... There has been very important mail with our private information in it that has never been received from months ago. We have not even been here a year and we have mentioned it to the post office many times. The response is that there is always someone new or a sub in the back doing the mail. We have never had this problem with the postal services in any other town. We signed up for the online Informed Delivery emails because of this problem. I do hope this will all be fixed soon.
UPDATE: We have now had a package go missing that had been expected for over a week. I watched the mail carrier stop by the mailboxes, yet according to USPS Informed Delivery, the package should have been in the box, and it was not. My husband contacted the office and a man named Ty was the one helping. He went out of his way after work to track down the package and found it at another box down the street. I am super grateful for him going out of his way to fix the mistake that was made!!!!
