About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Reedham Post Office, every morning around 8 AM, a little brown dog would appear out of nowhere and dash towards the mailboxes. No one knew where it came from or why it did that, but everyone in town started calling it ‘Mailbox Dasher.’ One day, an elderly lady approached the counter, clearly distressed. She said, 'I’ve been trying to send my granddaughter a birthday card for weeks!' Turns out, she’d accidentally put it in one of those mysterious mailboxes. A delivery driver eventually found it—covered in dirt and with a note reading “Please return to sender, urgent!” Since then, locals joke that Mailbox Dasher must be a secret postal service.

2. At Reedham Post Office, whenever a new delivery driver arrived, a small cat would leap onto the counter and sit there, purring loudly until the driver finished their shift. One day, an especially nervous delivery driver arrived, fumbling with his packages. The cat, sensing his anxiety, began to gently bat at his hands, as if trying to comfort him. By the end of his shift, they were inseparable—until the next newbie showed up.

3. At Reedham Post Office, whenever an old letter carrier took off their hat, a tiny bird would swoop down and perch on their shoulder, chirping happily. One day, an enthusiastic delivery driver removed his cap, only for the little bird to land not on his shoulder but squarely in his coffee cup! The entire office burst out laughing as he frantically tried to fish out the flapping feathered guest without spilling anything.

4. At Reedham Post Office, one day a regular noticed something odd in the mail sorting area—a tiny envelope addressed simply to ‘The Fastest Mailman Alive.’ Curious, he picked it up and placed it on the counter. Smiling, the postmaster took out a magnifying glass and peered inside. Turned out, it was just an advertisement for local pizza delivered by the fastest guy around. The whole town had a good laugh that day—especially when they saw the delivery driver wearing his new title proudly.
