- CBCrystal BowmanJul 6, 20241.0The mail person on Willis Gap is terrible! I know multiple people who have stopped getting packages and now have to take time out of there day to go to the post office because they won't deliver anymore. I've been getting a package at my house for more than 4 years and all the sudden this month it's to big to deliver. Now I have to take time off work just to go to the post office during the week. When did it become so inconvenient to have your mail delivered if it's bigger than an envelope?!
- KRkayla riggsDec 30, 20205.0Amazing service all around. They are very polite and on time. The mail man is the best, hes very sweet, not rude at all, he answers questions when i ask.
- MMMichelleNov 20, 20173.0Even though I literally live across the street from the post office, I don't get my mail until 5pm. How can I possibly know to pick up a package at the usps before they close at 4:30pm when I don't get my mail before then. And they are rude when I go to pick up a package if I want it before I go to sleep.
