About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Yardley Post Office, every morning around 8 AM, a delivery driver would arrive with a box full of mysterious envelopes. No one knew whose they were or why they kept appearing. One day, an excited neighbor rushed in and asked the postmaster, ‘Who gets these envelopes?’ The postmaster shrugged and replied, ‘I don’t know, but I bet it’s someone important!’ Ever since then, everyone checks their mailboxes for the ‘important envelope’—even though none ever arrives.
2. At Yardley Post Office, one day an envelope addressed to ‘The Person Who Lost This Letter’ appeared on the counter. Nobody claimed it. Soon enough, a grumpy old neighbor popped in and said he must be the lost letter’s intended recipient. But when they opened it, there was only a crumpled note inside: ‘Sorry I missed you! Please try again later.’ Everyone had a good laugh, and from then on, whenever someone mentioned the mysterious envelope, they’d smile and say, ‘That’s just the Yardley Post Office being Yardley Post Office.’
3. At Yardley Post Office, one day a regular noticed something odd in the mail sorting area—a package labeled simply, ‘To Whom It May Concern: Please Deliver This To The Nicest Person In Town.’ Curious, the regular asked around and learned that no one claimed it. So he decided to help out. Over the next few days, everyone in town received similar packages—each addressed to someone different but always signed off with love. Turns out, it was just a friendly prank from a delivery driver who wanted to spread some holiday cheer.
4. At Yardley Post Office, a neighbor once asked curiously: ‘Why does the same old letter keep arriving for “Mr. Undeliverable”?’ With a twinkle in his eye, the postmaster replied, 'Well, you see, that’s because Mr. Undeliverable is our most loyal customer—we’ve never managed to send him anything he doesn’t already own!'
