- AAAlethaFeb 22, 20215.0Delivery drivers are amazing! Always say hello with a smile and go the little extra way to make sure you've gotten the correct mail. Mailing packages in person is a breeze also. The employees are always kind and considerate while working as efficiently as they can to keep up with demands.
