- ABAlex George BejanNov 29, 20255.0Very friendly, efficient, competent, helpful, making everyone's life easier in many ways every day. We are so lucky to have such a service in Charlestown.
- SDSBMX DUBSSep 25, 20211.0So my local USPS allegedly delivered a package to me this week when I was at work, came home and there was nothing there. Delivery confirmation said it was in my mailbox, after talking with Amazon they were polite and understanding in replacing my order. Well nothing showed up again, and so I went to the local branch and asked them to track the package for me. I was shown nothing but contempt from the start, and when I kindly asked her to drop her attitude she started to steam out of her ears. I was being very careful with my tone and body language because I know how it can be in USPS branches. I walked out of there with nothing to show for my time money and hassle other than being mildly harassed and put into a terrible mood. Laurie at Charlestown USPS you get what you give, but in this case I wished her a good rest of the day and left empty handed!
- JPjc peacenikMar 25, 20201.0Customer service clerk (grey hair, usually pulled back) is cold and unpleasant. Any question to her is met with a sneer and a terse response. Unhelpful. Have had several unfriendly encounters with this particular clerk so not just a "bad day." Go to any other post office other than this one.
- SYseymore yoMar 4, 20191.0My regular mail carrier is a woman and she is phenomenal. I'm 100 percent disabled and she always brings my packages to the door. There's a young male who doesn't bother. He finds the disability ramp too far to walk up and throws the packages from outside onto the turning platform at the top. This morning, he didn't bother to even attempt to put the mail in the mail box. He stopped briefly, then drove off.
