United States Postal Service

"This location in Banks is good. However, the USPS as a whole has very much declined over the years. I have had MANY things go missing, and many of my tenants send rent, and it goes missing . I avoid using the US mail unless I'm forced to."

"The carriers for this post office just cannot be bothered to do a quality job. Packages are mixed up, if they are even delivered to the mailbox at all. I got three of my neighbor's packages, and not the extremely time sensitive one that I needed, despite Amazon notifying me that the package was left inside my mailbox. Wish the carriers would do the bare minimum and actually pay attention to what they're doing, so I don't have to rely on the kindness of my neighbors to recieve my mail. The guy who runs the counter is pretty cool though."

"I am so sick and tired of small packages being left at the Banks post office and all I get is a call tag in my huge mail box. Often it will be 1 bottle of meds from CVS. Which means I have to drive into town, mask up and spend 15 to 20 minutes standing g in line to get something that will fit in my pocket. We have talked to the post master and are lucky to get a shrug of his shoulders and an " oh well". To me it is pure laziness on the divery drivers to not put it in my mail box."

"Most small town USPS offices have friendly staff. This one though... A ebay buyer wanted to use 1st Priority Parcel to save a few bucks. I agreed, printed the prepaid USPS label, and went here to buy a mailer to ship the item. Once I got here, there was literally FREE tape on his desk, instead.. this guy with no name tag, suggests I buy 22 YARDS of tape for my tiny package. I'm never coming back here, ever. I hope they go out of business."

"This branch serves as a cliche' of everything that is bad about the USPS. We live "out there" so one has to drive 4 more miles on a county maintained gravel road to get to the last 2 houses; my neighbor and me. Over the years they have gone from delivering the mail to a mailbox row 2 miles down the road to inching farther away with a variety of excuses why they can't make the trip i.e. winter weather, log trucks etc. We now have to drive 8 miles to get the mail. Packages, including Amazon Prime, are not delivered to the home address. If a package does not fit in our mailbox 8 miles away, we have to drive an additional 7 miles and go to the branch during business hours - don't forget that they are closed during lunch. Supposedly with Amazon Prime, if the delivery date lands on a Sunday, they bring it to my home, which seemed true until yesterday. Well, UPS and FEDEX have no problem delivering to the home address 7 days a week. I wish Amazon would stick with the delivery services that have a quality of service more akin to their brand because their brand is suffering due to the lameness of the USPS. Oh, one more thing. I was in the branch the other day picking up something that would have been delivered to my home with any other service, and after a minute or so it was apparent that no one heard the bells jingling on the door when I came in but by that time I was too intrigued by the conversation happening behind the walls to make my presence known. It was like a script from SNL satirizing arrogant entitled government workers. They covered a range of topics but it was mostly centered around what was and was not "my job" as well as vacation time and retirement accounts. It was only the postmaster herself and and another worker. I wish I had been quick enough to record it, but oh well, someone else came in and they heard the bells jingling that time despite their verbalized spiteful attitude toward customers. They're not bad people, just regular folks entrenched in a postal culture."
