“I stumbled into this Post Office when I visited the small town of Lincoln, NM. Like many others who come to Lincoln, I wanted to see the history of the town that made Billy The Kid Famous. One of the places I went to visit was the Tunstall Store. To my surprise, the Post Office is connected to the store, and is a fully functional working post office. I went it to buy stamps and saw the smallest post office I have ever been in. There were many P.O. Boxes that made the small space look like it was stuck in time. I purchased stamps and asked about the town. The employee was very helpful, and gave me all the information I needed. He also told me that many things had closed because of covid, but places were slowly opening up. I ended up shipping something home from that post office and sent a few letters to friends, just to have the Lincoln postmark. There are only standard services, but the small interior is enough to walk in and see it. They do not make buildings that last like this anymore, even if only two people fit in the post office at one time. I was told that the mail gets picked up at 6pm almost daily.”

“My package was sent to the Ruidoso post office, I went over there to pick it up, they instructed me to go to the Ruidoso Downs post office the package was sent there. Nancy at the Ruidoso Downs post office said the package was still at the Ruidoso post office, she offered to drive over there and get it for me. I left my name and number with her. She just called stating the package made it to the Ruidoso Downs post office and she put it in a parcel locker and I can pick it up at anytime! Nancy went out of her way displaying excellent customer service. I am in hopes her superior sees this and gives her a bonus or a raise. Thank you Nancy!!!”
