Heppner Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon Wednesday, December 15, 1993 - FIVE Area postal customers satisfied More than nine out of 10 postal customers in the Portland district, which includes Oregon and southwest Washington, are pleas ed with postal service perfor mance, said a press release from the United States Postal Service. An independent poll conducted by Opinion Research Corporation covering the last three months shows 91 percent of Portland- area customers rated their overall mail service as "excellent” , “ very good” , or "good” , accor ding to customer service district manager William G. Jackson, who oversees post office opera tions in the Portland area. Mike McGuire, postmaster, Heppner, points out that the survey is just one way the Postal Service has becom e more customer-driven. The postmaster noted that the extension of retail hours at many post offices in the district was one of the reasons customers gave them high marks. "Through these surveys, we learned more about what our customers wanted, and were then able to respond with im provements such as more conve nient business hours,” said McGuire. "While we are pleased with these results, we have no inten tion of taking this level of satisfaction for granted, especial ly as the busy holiday season ap proaches,” McGuire said. "W e will continue to listen to our customers and to provide top quality service at every oppor tunity.” \\ WE HAVE A GOOD I: SELECTION OF '93 H PROGRAM CARS!
