I visit this post office on almost a daily basis for work. They are always very polite and I've seen them be incredibly helpful to other customers. These guys work hard and you can tell they enjoy their jobs. Shoutout to Jim, Radigan, and Matthew!

The post office is such a community hub. I always run into so many folks. A highlight is seeing Radigan and Matthew's happy faces. They are seriously ALWAYS smiling and chatty. But guys- come on. Ease up on Jimbob. He's an icon. If you think he's grumpy go take a lesson in dry banter. Hands down- my FAVORITE stop in Shelburne. They always handle my parcels with care and go above and beyond. Three cheers for the three amigos who keep Shelburne post office a place where people ACTUALLY don't mind having to visit. You guys are doing a great job!

The worst of the worst, zero scans on pre paid first class outbound packages.

I only gave them 2 stars because they're better than the South Burlington post office (not difficult). They are really slow and ineffectual...I once did not receive mail for 5 months due to their incompetence.

They tend to be really rude. I went in just now and had a really negative experience when asking about a package of mine that was supposed to be delivered today (that I paid extra shipping for) and the woman was really rude and refused to get my package that she told me she had already sorted. Good luck.
