First off - huge shout out to Mike - one of the best leaders on the island. I am incredibly thankful for how efficient, smooth and easy post office operations have been. Before moving to a small island I was prepared for delays and hiccups, and I can honestly say the team is incredible. Thank you for making my time here so much easier.

I got to the post office 3 mins early and I was locked out with a worker telling me no. There was a sign that said last customer at 3pm. So why wasn't I let in? I realize it was close to 3, but it was in fact not 3. I work on the island I understand your limited hours. Be available however when workers need to sent mail. This is all we have!

Worst possible incompetent service by all but one employee. The new post master is a complete buffoon. They never scan prelabeled packages upon receipt so the tracking doesn't show up until they reach their next destination.

What can I say this is a small Island and it closes early. However the staff is friendly and helpful. It's a Post Office.
