United States Postal Service

USPS, Post Offices
Hours: The United States Postal Service is the only organization in the country to regularly deliver to every residential and business address, providing secure, reliable, and affordable delivery. A local post office can be very helpful, with a postal clerk who has a real small town and neighborhood attitude, patiently explaining the best way to ship items in a polite and professional manner. One employee does a fine job of moving the line along, and while some complain, others note they have never seen this employee be discourteous. There is often a long line, which does not allow for chatting. Customers state they have never had a problem with the service at this location, especially by comparison to other post offices. In one instance, an express delivery did not reach its destination by the guaranteed date, but the office was so helpful because they read a message and rerouted the delivery driver the following morning to get an urgent package delivered by 8:30. The local post office number may ring many times, allowing a customer to leave a voice mail with contact information and a tracking number.
