Horrible service. Refusing to deliver to an established and…read moregrandfathered mailbox for 21 years due to logistics. The mail that they did deliver (wrong address on the other side of the town has been in the mailbox with the flag up for over two weeks, and they have refused to service the address, stating that it's a hazard and that they can't back up. There's more than enough room for a three point turn inside of the driveway (16' wide) to turn around, and if they don't want to....there's a turnaround and the end allowing for no backing up. The lies by this office are insane, making every excuse possible even though refutable, simply because it's 20 minutes extra on their route, and because of the "volume of packages" received. After visiting the house, the supervisor admitted that it was an established grandfathered mailbox, and that the carrier was asking to place the mailbox in the drainage ditch (5' deep less than 2 feet from the edge of the road), because she didn't feel safe pulling into the driveway, but would feel safe enough to deliver the mail in the breakdown lane of a 55MPH zone. He admitted that the driveway was safer than the side of the road, but would not address the package volume. I don't believe that ALL of the employees are incompetent, but one carrier has rallied the other employees with sob stories, and has poisoned the entire staff, because of the "volume of packages". I'm seeing the same issue with many other homeowners in the Effingham / Ossipee area, suggesting that this office may need to become a clean slate with all new employees. Extremely rude and unprofessional behavior on every clerk and carrier I have come into contact at this office. Truth is a must, as it requires public trust. This office offers no truth, but instead is defensive, accusatory and insulting.

On our way to a birthday party a couple of weeks ago, I told my husband we needed to stop for ice…read more He said that the last time we were in Tuftonboro for a party, he went to the coolest place amd since it was just a mile or so past our destination we went there. It was the Center Tuftonboro General store and Post Office. OMG! When I walked in, I almost cried with nostalgia. My grandparents owned Dorions Market in Rumford, ME when I was growing up. This was almost a carbon copy. The floors, the smells. And then, the beautiful proprietier, Mary. She was dressed like she was working at Saks 5th Ave! She saw the emotion I was emitting and gave me an awesome, brief history lesson on the store. And, when I said I needed ice for a party down the street, she said "Oh, are you here for Maribeth's 60th?!" Love small towns, love authentic, old General Stores. What an absolute treat for me! I can't wait to go back!

The old wooden post office boxes still in use at the back of the store were really cool. The…read moreactual store dates from abt 1822 and felt more like a modern day convenience store except for the woodstove and table with backgammon and cards arranged in the center. There's a big carved indian as you come in the door. The proprieter claims this store is probably older than the Bath Brick Store. Don't know how he reckons that, but I have no dog in that fight (that I know of). There's a guy in the back who makes pizza and subs. Best meatball sub I've had in years. Making a meatball is an art! Pretty drive and good place to stop for a sandwich if you're in the area.

As of February 2022 this small hole in the wall of a post office has been chosen to sort the mail…read morefor other larger facilities, resulting in mail delays of over 4 business days across the board, including overnight. If you live in Tuftonboro or nearby and use USPS I advise to move to another post office that does not have mail routed through Melvin village. I do understand that this is the decision of the local USPS coordinator and not this local facility, but the decision was so counterintuitive it comes off as careless and even self destructive to the operation as a whole.

Sometimes they start the hold late. They never start the delivery again on the right day. How hard is a vacation hold, guys! Twice, I've picked up a trail of letters strewn down the road to deliver to my neighbors' mailboxes myself. We get each other's mail all the time. They can't seem to close the mailboxes - maybe they need to hold a training on how to lift up the lid and close a mailbox? That seems to be very hard as well. Leaving an over-sized box by opening the mailbox and "teetering it" on the open lid? Really? In the rain? Levels of incompetence that border on unreal. Unfortunately, they're a monopoly. As a business, they would have zero customers...
