About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar in the post office parking lot—a mysterious package wrapped in brown paper and tied with string. No return address, no note, just an ordinary-looking box among the mail trucks. The delivery driver picked up the package curiously but carefully, took it inside, and placed it on the counter. Later that day, while sorting through letters, an elderly lady approached him, smiling warmly. ‘That’s mine,’ she said, pointing at the package. ‘Forgot I’d sent it.’ Everyone laughed, realizing it was simply another one of her quirky jokes.

2. One day, a delivery driver pulled up to the Bunwell Post Office and noticed an unusual package on the counter. It was wrapped in plain brown paper, with no return address or label. Curious, he picked it up—it felt heavy but oddly light at the same time. As he lifted the package, he heard a faint humming sound inside. Confused, he opened it carefully—and found nothing but a pile of old newspapers. Written on the front page was a note: ‘Dear Delivery Guy, please deliver this package to yourself. Sincerely, Nobody.’ Everyone at the post office laughed so hard that day they forgot to close early.

3. One afternoon, while sorting mail, an old lady asked the clerk: ‘Do you ever wonder why every package for Mr. Johnson is always delivered exactly at midnight?’ The clerk shrugged and replied, 'I guess it's his special delivery time.' Just then, a delivery driver walked in with a box labeled 'Mr. Johnson'. He looked at his watch and said, 'Ah, right on schedule!' The old lady giggled and whispered to herself, 'Maybe he has a midnight appointment with Santa.'

4. One rainy night, a delivery driver pulled up to the Bunwell Post Office and noticed a mysterious package wrapped in brown paper with no address or return label. The driver opened it curiously—it contained only an old umbrella and a note scribbled in childish handwriting: ‘Please keep dry.’ The next morning, everyone in town received identical packages. Turned out, little Timmy from down the street had drawn a rainbow on each umbrella.
