Our Wonderful Post Office Phone System
Contributed By:  Fred Ball

Has anyone tried to get information from our wonderful Postal phone system?

Well I have and believe me getting a head transplant is easier.  It is fully automated and that is part of the problem.   It does not fully understand the American language  (English) and will end up driving you crazy by repeating everything and asking is that right, wanting a yes or no answer.  It then does not wait and starts on some other item on their menu.  I was trying to find out the hours of my local PO and ended up screaming into the phone and pulling out what little hair I have left.  I did manage to get the thing to send me an URL for the PO finder website. And got the info I needed without all of the hair pulling crap the phone automaton had me going through.  And for those of you who might need to find out when your PO is open or their phone number here is the web address:  http://www.usps.com/findpo

This address only needs the zip code of the area you live in and will display the closest PO and more, starting with the next closest to you in your area.  No more yelling and screaming and hair pulling for me.
