- JSJohn SlaterMar 9, 20235.0Contrary to some other reviews, I always receive EXCELLENT service. Fairfax - as a town and community, benefits so much for having a local post office. Thank you
- KEKathy EverettDec 23, 20185.0Great service, and friendly, knowledgeable staff. Highly recommend using the Fairfax Post office location. Much shorter wait time than the Cedar Rapids branch. If you are having problems with mail not being delivered correctly, contact the Wiley postal station, because your mail comes out of Wiley, not Fairfax. The USPS made that change a few years ago, and they can't correct the problems if you don't tell them what is happening!
- CGCharles GharamtiAug 19, 20161.0Mail is frequently lost. The lady at the post office is unbelievable rude and clueless. It's too bad there is no other option
