It was built in 1961, and one of the employees pulled out a plaque to show me. Initially, this clerk was kinda salty, telling me I couldn't take photos, but I assured him that I already had, and have been to over 100 post offices in VA with nary an issue. He chilled out after that. I loved the holiday display out front and the tidy grounds. Inside was clean and the brass mailboxes were a cool vintage feature. I'm glad we stumbled upon this nice mid-sized post office! Then we went to the Tavern for supper! Hours M-F 8:00-12:30, 1:00-4:30, Sat 8:00-11:30

Ruthville is named after Ruth Brown with the establishment of the post office in 1880. She was the wife of a prominent landowner, Abraham Brown. According to the last census in 2020, there were only 6 housing units and a population of 5! Ruthville is tiny, only 0.055 sq. miles. Residents in the Charles City area also use this post office although there is a Charles City Branch off of Rt. 5 on Courthouse Road just 5 minutes away. This is considered an historic landmark and is quite large for serving such a small community. I like the white painted cinder block building with its handicapped access, vintage touches (the wrought iron can be seen at the top of the ceiling), its brass mailboxes, and antique lighting. There's also a drive by drop mailbox outside. Love it for its history! Hours M-F 12:30-4:30, Saturday 8:00-11:30 No passport service

When I got inside, there was one person in front of me at the desk. There was one person working the desk while all the others were in the back watching inappropriate videos out loud, cursing, and laughing at the videos. After 20 minutes of waiting, the line was wrapped out the door. The first lady was trying to reopen a closed P.O. Box that belonged to someone else (Steve who lives in WV). Another lady was called to the front to take over & the customer asked if she could come back tomorrow with Steve on FaceTime to show his ID & mortgage to have his P.O. Box reopened. The post office lady said, "we aren't supposed to do that", but she didn't specifically say she wouldn't do that. She let that customer leave thinking she could do that the next day without being 100% clear that she couldn't. When I got my turn, I had a horrible attitude. I just wanted my receipt so that I could leave. I got it and left with the line even longer. This office is horribly unprofessional & I see why their rating is so low. I plan to complain to USPS directly with the information about that P.O. Box issue because it is unethical & no one else is able to open/reopen a P.O. Box via FaceTime. So, don't pick and choose to do so when it's convenient. These people need customer service and ethics training ASAP!

Going to the post office has always been simple. Buying post stamps and shipping off items have…read morebeen my go-to at this location. For this visit, we needed to get a collection of stamps. Sophia usually handled that arena by mostly ordering online, but we were running short so I was given the task to pick some up. It was right after I got off work so I stopped by on the way home. Foot traffic was very minimal which resulted in no wait at all. I actually stood in line for no longer than 15 seconds. As stated earlier, it was for buying a book of stamps. To my surprise, the cost for the book was over $14. Back when I used to ship items off by mail, stamps cost under $10. It's crazy to see the prices go up each year. Unfortunately, we have to accept the changes and move on. Besides the price increase, the transaction went smooth as usual. I know this location will always come in handy for yours truly. Till next time :)

I showed up at 4:45 because that's when I could get there. This lady was yelling at me the WHOLE time complaining that "I showed up right before they close" I grabbed the 2 bubble wrap packages I needed and went to put the items in there (hadnt even been there 1 minute) and she yelled "I'll do it" and grabbed the stuff out of my hands even though she had no idea which package went with which packing slip. I got irritated and told her she needs to give me a minute, good thing I checked because she had the wrong package with the wrong slip. She complained the whole time talking about "Everyone shows up right before I close, I'm sick of this I need to get off work on time, don't you want to get off work on time, management needs to change the hours we need to close at 4:30 because you guys are ridiculous showing up before we close, I can't do this" blah blah blah. I get it she wanted to go home. But I was hurrying, and would've been done in 2 seconds but her complaining and yelling made everything take even longer. People showed up after me with packages that literally just needed to be scanned, and she turned them down and closed the door, it wasn't even 5 yet. If you hate it that much, get a different job. Dont berate customers for dropping off packages when you work at the damn post office.

A few years ago I had a package sent that the sender forgot to include my apt number on. My regular mailman had the day off and I just happened to be grabbing the mail and saw that the package was not delivered. We tracked it and saw it was being sent back the the sender, so we rushed to the post office. The person behind the counter got the tracking info from us and decided to check for it and found it right away. Another time recently my mailman saw me near the mailbox and gave me a shout because he had a package that was too big for my mailbox and would've had to be picked up from the post office otherwise.
