- RLRay LeBlancApr 25, 20263.0Small town post office that can do what they need to do. Only a couple windows available for customer service, but likely all that is needed given the size of the town. I would imagine there are lines during the summer and tourist seasons when the population triples.
- ERE “Ellie” RMar 28, 20261.0Get my neighbor’s mail, forgot to leave key for storage lock box with medication that will be 2-3 days late before I can get it.
- AAAnaFeb 11, 20211.0They refuse to deliver packages. I once ordered a bed frame and the mail carrier said she couldn't deliver it because it wouldn't fit in the mailbox. In what world would a package that size ever fit in a mailbox?? More recently, I have had small packages not be delivered. I have to drive out to the post office at the other side of town to get my packages. Some of them definitely could have fit inside my mailbox, and no slip was provided to request redelivery. No second attempt was ever made. One package was marked delivered, but was actually held at the post office. It is winter, but my driveway was cleared with a snowblower and our walkway is shoveled. The mail carrier has made no attempt. It is laziness and a refusal to do her job. No one answers the phone when you call the post office either.
- MBMarissa BishopNov 24, 20181.0Horrible hours and a tendency to send things back if they sit for longer than an hour.
