I and a changing tableau of family members have been PO box customers here since 1985. I have generally liked most of the staff members I've interacted with. They have hard, boring jobs but still manage to be human and to treat others as humans. The service itself can be inconsistent. Sometimes great, sometimes awful. The great service is smooth and quck and painless. Regarding the bad service, the worst problem is the placement of other people's mail in our box and, I can only assume with some horror, vice versa. Not every customer is kind enough or honest enough to return important mail that has been placed incorrectly in his or her mailbox. Many do, but I'm sure some don't. This is a serious, serious problem and violates one of the core tenets of the US Postal Service. The other big problem is that when long lines form, the management usually doesn't redirect other staff to help handle the crush. One front-desk clerk isn't enough for a line of 13 customers. Overall, though, I'm immensely grateful for the existence of the Mineral Post Office and for all that the staff do to help make it work.

There is never a line here! And the staff is friendly and fairly efficient for a post office. If you’re halfway between the Louisa post office and the Mineral post office, I’d urge you to choose Mineral! The service and friendliness here are much better.

I usually get someone's mail each week in my mail box. Mail will not be placed in my mail box either. My Mother mailed a birthday card to me and it came back to her after two weeks stating no such address.
