About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. It was an unusually quiet morning in Buckland when a delivery driver pulled up to the post office. The sun had barely crested the hills, casting long shadows over the empty streets. As he approached the door, he noticed something odd: the mailboxes were all ajar and slightly askew. He knocked gently on the door, but no one answered. Curious now, he entered—and found everything exactly as it should be. Turned out, a neighbor had accidentally left the mailboxes open while rearranging them for better air circulation. A relieved smile spread across his face as he closed them neatly, thinking, ‘At least today’s not too boring after all.’
2. It was an unusually quiet morning in Buckland when a delivery driver pulled up to the post office and announced over the intercom: ‘Attention all employees—your new supervisor has arrived. Please report to your desks immediately.’ Everyone froze for a moment, until a regular customer from next door poked his head inside and asked if everything was okay. The new supervisor—a tiny old lady with a stern expression—looked around and declared, 'I see everyone's here now. Good.' Then she sat down at her desk and started sorting letters with remarkable efficiency. Nobody ever saw or heard from her again.
3. It was an unusually quiet morning in Buckland when a delivery driver pulled up to the post office and asked, ‘Did you see the letter carrier who delivered here yesterday?’ The postmaster shook his head and replied, 'No, I didn't see anyone.' Just then, a neighbor walked by and said, 'Oh yes, he was here earlier—delivering letters like always!' The delivery driver scratched his head, confused, until they all burst out laughing. Turns out, the letter carrier had been delivering mail from the other side of town.
4. It was an unusually quiet morning in Buckland when a delivery driver pulled up to the post office with a package so large it looked like a small tree. The delivery driver struggled for several minutes before managing to carry it inside. A regular customer, passing by, asked curiously what it could be. The postmaster shrugged and replied, 'I’ve no idea, but I’m sure whoever ordered it will love it!' And that’s how Buckland Post Office became briefly famous for delivering the world’s largest birthday card.
