For a smallish town like Ashland, this post office was super busy! The line was to the door!…read more Don't confuse this building with the one a few steps down the street. The "old" Ashland post office, built in 1940, is located on the next block, which still has the post office gold lettering on the brick facade. It now houses attorneys and other offices. The actual "newer"post office, built in 1992, is located at 301 England Street. Definitely a more modern building, but still possesses some small town charm. The interior is impressive with Tuscan columns, high ceilings, A-framed glass windows and Spanish tiled floors. The large, open floor plan creates a well-lit, airy space. For such spacious area, I was surprised that they don't provide passport services here. Their services are limited to the typical ones you'll find at most such post offices: P.O. boxes, money orders, stamps, shipping supplies, greeting cards, bulk mail and general delivery. I didn't even see a self-serve kiosk. I feel like they could expand their services to accommodate the Ashland community. After all, it is the "Center of the Universe"!

I have lived here for 25 years and they are consistently understaffed, with really only one staff…read moremember who knows what is going on and how to fix problems, but he is extremely overworked. The other people are not helpful, often making problems worse. I have had NUMEROUS terrible issues with mail holds, including them getting the dates wrong. The carriers are also less than stellar, often not delivering our mail and giving us the wrong mail. I witnessed a situation today where a patron came to pick up a packae that should have been delivered to him, the carrier did not take it to his house. So, he had requested for pick up at the post office and had appropriate notification for pick up, but the carrier picked it up and planned to deliver it after all. My most recent complaint is regarding a travel hold, which the carrier misread, and started holding mail ten days early. I had been notified that i receiving a new credit card, and when I didn't receive when I was told that I would, I went over to the Post Office and found that the hold was initiated early, I got all today's mail except the credit card. I am going to have to go over there at 8:30 a.m. to find out where it is.....this is ENORMOUSLY FRUSTRATING! THEY NEED TO HIRE MORE PEOPLE AND TRAIN THEM AND EDUCATE THE CARRIERS TO BE MORE ATTENTIVE TO THE MAIL THAT THEY DELIVER AND THE PEOPLE ON THE ROUTE!!! IT NEVER SEEMS TO GET ANY BETTER....
