    This post office does not deliver the mail. A letter sent to a normal house in Ridgway came back because it wasn't sent to a PO box. This place is dysfunctional.

    I had a package coming in the mail and they delivered to the wrong address. I understand mistakes happen but they haven’t done anything about it and there was no hurry in trying to retrieve it. It’s now been over a week and they refuse to answer me.

    Rude employees with 0 patience. I have never talked to people (who are not even being unreasonable) like that at my job. I was standing in line for about 30 min and in one instance, when one patron left, the worker talked badly about her and everyone heard it. The employee I interacted with was also quite patronizing. Nothing can be done though so just be prepared for attitude when you come here.
