Title: I am trying to reach the Tulsa Postmaster
Post by: RecycleMichael on April 29, 2009, 10:19:13 AM
I have heard from two different sources that the Tulsa Post office is going to stop their recycling program. I want to talk to the local person in charge and see if I can help in any way to keep them recycling.

It is impossible to reach this person by any of the numbers I can find. The local number just rings and rings, the national number just refers you back to the same unanswered phone number as before and the two different fax numbers I have found on their website don't work either.

I am just lost. Does anyone have a way to contact the Tulsa Postmaster? I guess I could buy a stamp and write them a letter, but was hoping to speak to them by e-mail or phone.

They've never given me any kind of good service.  Barely adequate counter help, that's all.

Good luck.

Maybe go to the downtown post office and ask?  I've never found a person, although I think if you search high and low on the USPS website, you might be able to find out.  Seems like when I called before and found someone, it was a call center deal, I could never get a local person.

Ironically, the hardest place in town to get a hold of is the Tulsa Communications Center.  911, dispatch, etc.  Try finding an address for that place, let alone a phone number, and god forbid you want to go in to the office!

But no.  I can't help you with the Tulsa Post Master.  Maybe find his office and stop by?  Go to the downtown post office over lunch and ask if you can talk to him (he isn't there of course), then get pointed to where ever his office is?

Dunno.

Kathy Ervin-Johnson is the last one I found.

Why the f is it so hard to find any info on the Tulsa Post Master?  The glass door won't even post salaries for her.

I think she can only be reached by letter.

The post office is boycotting phones, they think that the telephone will eventually put them out of business.

Hope no-one tells them about e-mail.


It's Kathy J Ervin according to the USPS website.

I'm not sure if the Postmaster is still in the Federal Building downtown or if that office is located out at the sorting center.

If you want to try a way of finding her if the office is still downtown call either the ATF, Secret Service or U.S. Marshall's office since they are in that building. Then it is a simple "oops, I dialed the wrong extension, can you transfer me?" and you should reach your destination.

Put a little baking soda in an envelope and leave it on the counter. Be sure to look squarely at the camera as you walk out. . . . they'll be in touch.

I never had any luck finding a valid contact when I tried,
http://www.tulsanow.org/forum/index.php?topic=12009.0

Seems they have disconnected most of their phone lines and retreated into their own little world.
The website is beyond useless.

Has anyone else had any luck with a mail holds?

Every time I try it either doesn't get held at all or it doesn't get resumed until days after it's supposed to. Then they call at 5am to ask if I want my accumulated mail delivered, after that's the choice I've previously indicated on the online form.

I recently filled out a mail hold form on the website for a couple weeks in the future. But I'm fairly certain they've begun holding my mail now. Haven't gotten any at all this week and I know several things should've arrived.

The downtown PO phone just rings and rings. The 1800 number disconnects me after I select the correct option. I doubt I'll be getting any mail for a few weeks, then I'm sure they'll resume delivery when I'm out of town.

You'd think a mail hold was a difficult request the way they manage to butcher it every time.

Right, silly. No, the Feds. The postal service is the best operation they have.
