Post Office

They steal packages! They lie, they are rude and nasty in the building sometimes they have no carrier for days at a time.
I have some of the best attorney’s on it. They think this is bait and they have lied and messed with the wrong person.
Hold your butts.

Small local-​sized post office. The lines moved fast and they provided all the services I needed. No complaints here.
I think it’s cool that there are like 5 mailboxes outside for a drive through so people can just drop off their mail and get on their way. Love efficiency!
The parking lot got crowded quickly though so I don’t know what people would do if they can’t find parking… hopefully people go in and out quickly.
Lots of packing stuff for sale.

This post office is the worst I’ve ever been to. The service here is atrocious. It doesn’t matter if your item has a tracking number because they will loose it. I’ve never had problems with post office until I moved to this area. They are just careless. They forget to leave you notifications when they hold your item. The people are rude, from the people in front to the assistant manager. I’ve had at least 7 items that they lost over 3 years. All but one had tracking number. Why have a tracking number if they are not held accountable when they clearly dropped the ball. My advice, go to a different branch if you have to use USPS. This branch is only good at delivering junk mail, but don’t expect them to actually deliver stuff that you actually ordered. Do not go to this branch! You’ve been warned.

I have been there on several occasions and have to say that in terms of post offices this location is actually rather good. The service provided at this location is as swift and courteous as you can expect from a post office and you can get in and out rather quickly.
I see some people complain about the speed of service, but I have been to many post offices, and this one is not bad at all. I get the sense that there are hard limits to how fast post office employees can work based on USPS technology and processes, and I am quite satisfied with how fast things go at this location… in relation to other locations. ProTip: Don’t try to go when everyone else is trying to go, e.g., 4−6PM or over lunch, and you will not encounter long lines at all. It’s not rocket science, and it’s surely not all about you. Guess what, someone behind you is complaining about the line that YOU are part of.
On the other hand, it’s a post office, what can you expect. It looks just as sad and depressing as you can expect from post office facilities that get no support and reflect the utter mismanagement and sabotage of the US Congress that is hellbent on getting another successful failure on their record. If you go into the office with that understanding, you will not be disappointed. The USPS is not Chipotle, Mc Donalds, or Bloomingdales; so don’t expect lightning speed, trendy interiors, or luxury service. You get what the incompetence of Congress sews.
What has to be taken into account is that you get amazing services at really low rates from an agency that is beaten and sabotaged by Congress on a regular basis. I for one appreciate what the USPS does and would miss it if it were destroyed, even though it is difficult to remember that sometimes.
On a side note, I have used the Post Office for money orders on several occasions because the fees are really low (I think something like $ 0.75) and you can use your debit card to get money orders, which is not possible anywhere else at such low rates.

I hate to give a business that already has a low rating, but they lost my package, what can I say.

I was debating whether or not to even bother to write a review about this location but I figured there was one written almost over a year ago so I figure I would just give it a little update.
Almost a year since the first update and could it slower? 4 windows, line is literally out the door, only 2 windows actually open. There are workers walking around (give them the benefit of the doubt, they might have other duties) but a window operator actually comes up to a third window, looks at the line, pretends to stamp a couple things and walks straight back. Really?! No offense to the two gentleman that were working the windows but they were extremely slow. I’ve been to numerous Post Offices and there is definitely a gap between slow and just knowing what you’re doing and being efficient.
I’m sure you can replace this Post Office with a few APC’s and have a window worker or two just take care of package pick-​up and it would be a much better Post Office.

Avoid if you can!
This post office is terrible. Long lines, people working here are slow, and it’s awfully depressing.
I much prefer the secret little post office at this address: 3737 Seminary Road in Alexandria
Look close or you might miss it! It’s a small white house-​looking building. Never too busy, but be sure to come before 3pm when it’s closed.
