About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something unusual in the mail sorting area: an old, dusty package addressed simply to ‘Postmaster General, USA.’ No return address or sender’s name. Curiosity piqued, he brought it to the attention of the station manager. The manager opened it carefully, revealing only a small envelope inside. Inside that was another note: 'Dear Postmaster, please deliver this letter to yourself.' Everyone laughed, realizing it was just a prank from some bored employee. From then on, whenever someone received an oddly addressed package, they’d say, 'Ah, must be from our favorite anonymous joker!'

2. A postal worker was checking the mailboxes one afternoon when he noticed something strange—a letter addressed simply to ‘The Next Person’ kept appearing in every box on the block. He called his supervisor, who sent a delivery driver to investigate. Turned out it was just a regular misaddressed envelope from someone’s uncle who lived down the street. The next day, everyone got a funny note with their mail, apologizing for the confusion and offering cookies—making USPS Etiwanda Station famous for its friendly pranks.

3. One day, a delivery driver sighed as he sorted through the endless pile of letters and packages. ‘Why does everything always end up here?’ he muttered, pointing at the USPS Etiwanda Station. Suddenly, a small envelope caught his eye—it had no return address, but on it was scribbled: “Open only if you’re stuck.” The driver shrugged, opened the envelope, and read: 'Dear Stuck One, today is your lucky day—your mail will deliver itself!' And indeed, every letter and package neatly arranged themselves into perfect piles. The driver grinned, shook his head, and whispered, 'Guess I’m not so stuck after all.'

4. In the early morning, a delivery driver was loading mail into the USPS Etiwanda Station when he spotted something peculiar on the counter: a small, perfectly wrapped package addressed simply to ‘The Postman Who Delivers Happiness.’ Curious, he opened it and found inside a note that read: 'Happy delivering!' Alongside were several stamps—all with different smiling faces—and an envelope filled with loose change. From then on, every time someone mentioned how cheerful our delivery guy seemed, neighbors would wink knowingly and say, 'Oh, must be those happiness stamps.'
