I go  sometimes  just to buy stamps or mail a large package, I don't like leaving a check in the mailbox for the mailman to pick up and buy stamps for me, I trust the mail carrier just not some of the people who walk by the mailbox.

I hardly ever go there because I rarely have any packages to send.

I still go to the post office if I have a package to send off. However the grocery store sells stamps and I buy my stamps there.

 Very rarely.  The internet and smartphones have got the post office bulldozed.

I love the mail man and our small post office, I send as much mail as possible, our mail guy really needs a new ride. His mail car is a rust bucket!  He is a hoot and sticks X-mas decorations on it during the X-mas season.  "got to love small town charm"        :heart: :heart: :heart:

If I need stamps, I just put an envelope with a note and a check.
The letter carrier brings me the book of stamps I paid for.
I don't send packages.
If I order something online as a gift, the company sends it for me.

They've come a long way in recent years as far as what you can do online from home. I rarely have to go in person anymore. You can even print labels for international packages at home which is fantastic.

I go when I have to mail packages, or get stamps. I'm a stamp collector, so even though I don't send a lot of snail mail any more, I still buy stamps.

I go every once in a while to our post office.  We have a UPS store in town that my husband uses quite frequently.

Once in a while when I have something really important to mail out and want to make sure it gets picked up.  I usually my stamps at the grocery store.

I have a post office box, so I go frequently. Plus, I don't trust our mail carriers with letters anymore, so I drop those off there... not that there's much improvement in the possibility of them getting where they're supposed to go.
