The Estherville Post Office is located near the old Middle School and next to where the old Elks Club used to be. It's also kitty-corner to Bud's Cafe, which when I grew up was a storefront with a stairway that fellow paperboys would wait a 6 AM for our allotments. My father had a larger mail slot at this post office. He used it for both his business and the family mail and there was many a day that a trip to see what was inside was filled with anticipation. Sometimes it was a letter from the cousins or maybe a package that needed to be picked up front. I also enjoyed walking around the lobby, admiring the banks of mail slots, and talking with the guys up front.

I have been in and out of this Post Office over the years and except for some internal improvements, this place is pretty much the same as it ever was. My most recent experience was to purchase some postage and send out an envelope. It was a basic task that was done quickly and with friendly down home professionalism.

If there was an option to give 10 stars, I would have given it a 10 out of 10! For someone from a big city, with post offices 10x bigger, I have never seen a location with as much charm and personality as this one, let alone with a single nicer employee.

This is the local USPS in the town of Worthington. The line seems to go fast and the wait time was minimal. The staff here are friendly and patient which is a good quality. This place also sells last minute gifts such as gift cards to many retail chains from food, to activities and movies. Also sells packaging items in case you forgot to bring your own box / envelope. One compliant about this location is that the hours are fairly limited in the weekends especially on Saturday as they only open for a few hours. Otherwise, this is a good place to shop your items. Much cheaper to ship here with USPS.
