Horror stories at the Carmel Post Office

CARMEL – Carmel’s new postmaster Zareh Guekjian got an earful Thursday when dozens of irate consumers complained bitterly about shoddy mail service in the greater Carmel area.

A forum tabbed as a “Meet Your Postmaster Roundtable” turned into a gripe session when resident after resident criticized the postal facility that serves the county seat.

Janice Capra lamented about mail delivery between 7 and 7:30 p.m. most evenings. “On occasional Saturdays, we get no mail at all and then it is delivered at 8 a.m. Sunday morning,” she said.

Carol Bernard was furious that her husband’s medications arrived late again last month. “This is ludicrous. The mail here resembles that of a third world country.”
