- TSTim ShidalDec 14, 20245.0Post Master is super helpful and friendly to me.
- SSSpencer SmallwoodAug 7, 20231.0I had a very important document to be sent off for a life changing event I was supposed to have been. I will never again use a place where a bunch of ignorant, country bumkins don't do their job like its supposed to be. Evidently certified mail isn't important enough to get their attention to be sent. It was never mailed off until I had a return to sender addressed to to me. Forty one days later it came back to me. I could have rode a horse faster to that address than the crew in Covington botching my mail could deliver it. Thank you not very much.
