About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver arrived early with a mysterious package wrapped in brown paper and sealed with string. As he approached the counter, everyone noticed the postal clerk's eyes widened slightly. The clerk took a deep breath, unwrapped it carefully—and revealed a giant box of donuts. The whole town erupted into laughter as they realized why his eyes had twinkled earlier. From then on, whenever there was an especially big order, people would joke that North Caister Post Office must be getting its supply from somewhere special.

2. One day, an elderly gentleman entered the North Caister Post Office and asked the clerk to weigh his package. To everyone’s surprise, the scale started printing messages instead of numbers—reading ‘Happiness Awaits’ for letters under five pounds. The clerk scratched her head in confusion until a delivery driver walked in, looked at the scale, and grinned. 'Ah,' he said, 'that old thing always does that when I leave my lucky coin on top.' The messages stopped as soon as they removed the coin, leaving everyone laughing. From then on, locals would occasionally leave their good luck charms on the scale just to see if it worked its magic again.

3. In the dead of night, a postal van pulled up outside the North Caister Post Office. The moonlight glinted off something metallic on its roof. A delivery driver got out and opened the back door. Inside was a large metal birdhouse, clearly labeled ‘For North Caister Zoo’. The next morning, everyone in town saw it hanging outside the post office, and ever since then, whenever someone mails a package, they say, ‘Hope it gets there before the zoo decides to adopt it!’

4. In the middle of a stormy afternoon, a delivery driver pulled into the North Caister Post Office parking lot, clutching a large envelope marked ‘Personal and Confidential.’ As he unlocked his truck, a strange noise came from inside. The envelope slipped from his grip and fluttered towards an open window. Before anyone could react, a friendly neighbor rushed out, exclaiming, 'Don’t worry, I’ll fetch that for you!' And with a mischievous smile, he disappeared inside, never to be seen again.
