City folk-how to know WHICh post office

[Ccort]

I'm in the city and my ladies ship out tomorrow. My question is, how donI know which of our many post offices they will be delivered to? I have two that are nearest me and would like to call ahead but truthfully, both are known to be less than friendly and I really doubt they will pick up the phone or call me. How doI handle this?

Do you have any recent packages you can see the tracking on?
I'd call your closest one and ask them.

So no matter how unfriendly or how bad they are they are they HAVE to call you to come pick up the chicks. it's their job and the only way to get the chicks out of their hair! Lol. Where ever they end up, the postmaster will give you a call to come get them. You usually have until closing time to go get them (so if you're in the middle of something you don't have to drop everything). Just make sure you remember to ask which post office when they call! I've had a few shipments that didn't go to my local post office and I forgot to ask where they where! Enjoy your new babies!!

Thats good to hear. I'm glad they have to call. Whenever I am there, its usually a solid half hour wait or more so I hate to think of driving around, waiting a half hour, and driving around more. I plan to drop everything to get them! I'm so excited I can't hardly stand it! They do token until 9 but I'll be ready. They just shipped.

Ours usually get here within 1-2 days. Post pictures when you get them! What breeds did you get?

Easter Egger. Light Brahma, and Barred Rock. Hoping they throw in a Buff Orpington.

I hate to burst your bubble but no they do not have to do anything.
My post office has never once called me to let me know my chicks were in.
Not once.



OP You mentioned two post offices... Call them both or call one of them and ask them which is your local post office.
They can tell by your address.
If they don't answer... Take 5 minutes and go to one and ask.

Then I believe you should report your post office. I would report anyone blatantly not doing their job.
