    Dropped off a package and purchased some stamps. They have a self service kiosk for shipping if the line is long!

    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.
