Kudos to Freedom Post Office 95019
Congratulations to our own local post office in Freedom. We always knew they were one of the best, but now it's official. You'd never see the place on a quick drive through town. It's in an older shopping center, tucked deeply into a small corner space. And it only has a few service windows at its counter. But it's staffed by reliable, friendly people who will help you get your packages sent with a smile. They'll suggest better ways to wrap and address boxes, remind you of new commemorative stamps coming out and alert you right away if the city and zip code you've listed on an outgoing package don't match. When they used to see me coming in with a stack of priority packages from time to time they handed me a roll of wrapping tape to make things go faster for us both on future mailings. They all seem to have a good sense of humor and a healthy dose of common sense. We've seen some of the same people working in there for many years and we just don't hear any complaints about any of them. So I can't say I'm surprised that they rated such high marks.
Some interesting businesses and organizations have post office boxes in Freedom, including:
Watsonville Wetlands Watch
Rumor Mill News
Diamond Organics
Easy Racers
Friends of Buena Vista
Migrant Media
