Cuxton Post Office

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver asked his colleague: ‘Did you hear that Cuxton Post Office has started delivering letters… backwards?’ His colleague shook his head and laughed: ‘No way! They can’t even deliver forwards!’ Later that day, an old lady came in asking for her letter. The postmaster smiled and said: “It’s here ma’am—just give us a moment to read it aloud backwards.” Everyone burst out laughing, realizing that maybe Cuxton Post Office had found their own unique way of making things right.

2. A delivery driver pulled up outside the Cuxton Post Office one afternoon and asked his colleague, 'Have you seen how many packages are addressed to Mr. Invisible?' His colleague shrugged, ‘Nope, never saw such a name.’ They both laughed it off until an elderly lady walked in, handed them a package, and said, “For Mr. Invisible, please.” The two delivery drivers looked at each other, grinned, and whispered, “Welcome to Cuxton!”

3. One day, an unexpected package arrived at the Cuxton Post Office. It was addressed simply to 'The Friendliest Neighbor' with no return address or sender's name. Inside, the clerk smiled and opened it curiously. Inside was a note that read: ‘You’ve always been friendly here.’ Alongside were dozens of small packages—each containing a single cookie wrapped in colorful paper. Since then, every now and then, someone drops off more cookies for the staff, turning the Cuxton Post Office into the sweetest place around.

4. A curious cat regularly sauntered into the Cuxton Post Office during closing hours, always leaving through the same door it entered. One evening, a delivery driver arrived to find the cat sitting on the counter, purring contentedly while munching on a package label. ‘Hey, feline friend,’ said the surprised worker, ‘you’ve been here before!’ The cat ignored him and walked out, tail high, through the exact same door it had come in. A neighbor passing by chuckled, ‘I guess he’s just another regular.’
