Worst postoffice ever. Drivers do not deliver stuff, instead they flag it for delivery and then minutes later say its undiverable for random reasons. Basically they do not want to do their job. On top of that very rarely are they friendly and their posted hours arent actually followed much. No use asking to talk to anyone, they dont want to talk and just ignore what you say with responses like oh that drivers lazy and doesnt like to do deliveries, sorry. It needs a complete hiring overall from the top position down, complete staff replacement.

Silverton Oregon USPS would not deliver my package--the Post Master said it was too heavy--over 70 lbs. And blamed Amazon for putting heavy items in the middle of pallets. They did not even want to bring it to my car. Finally, someone got a dolly and easily tipped it into the back of my pickup. Guess what? When I got home and weighed the package--54.3 lbs.!! Looks more like someone just did not want to do their job--deliver the mail.

They keep not dropping off my packages and now I have to wait until Monday 3 days after they were supposed to drop it off. They said come get it the 21st and they are closed on weekends. What a waste of our tax payer money!! This is why anyone can do there job because there is no skill to it.

Absolutely horrible place. First off the staff treats you like you are a nuisance. As soon as you walk into the door, and see the long line that is barely moving you can notice the smug postmaster vehind the counter. Then you get to wait in line for upwards of an hour to pick up the package one of your postal workers refused to deliver. Sorry my asphalt driveway is not good enough for you, with a giant area to turn around. Lazy, Rude, and a waste of time and money.
