US Post Office

Richland Post Office has been consistently slow and near incompetent at times. They have lost more than one package of mine and others I know and habitually deliver packages past expected delivery dates. I don’t normally write bad reviews like this but since there is no avenue on their public page for complaints I have to do it here.

The exterior and interior of this post office reminds me a bit of the era of John F Kennedy. It’s very clean and clean lines. It kind of reminds me of what one would expect to see if one were inside a safe deposit box storage area in a bank. I really liked how classic this office looked. The lawn is well manicured as well.
The parking situation was weird though especially on a really busy street. It seems like all they have is 5 – 10 minute parking right of the main drag and no real office large parking lot for those staying longer than 10 mins.
This is a big post office though and takes up most of the block. The people that work here are friendly but not overly friendly, kind of like the refined cooler composure of the interior décor and architecture.
This is also a passport photo & acceptance location.

The lady with the long hair was having a bad day yesterday– couldn’t communicate with the customers, got rude, loud, & frustrated. I had to leave. It happened with more than one customer, too. If you’re having a bad day, please stay home.

I guess its not this Post Office fault about my lost mail before. My mail is suppossed to be going to West Richland Post Office.
Been here few times and both times the service is pretty good, just hard to find parking both times but other than that it was a pleasant visit.

It’s ok. ***UPDATE move up to 4 due to many better experiences. **
The staff are reasonably skilled and can be very friendly. Questions about very specific things get totally different answers from differen tstaf.
I was rather upset last year when a guard of the building welcomed a woman parking behind me and then told me I couldn’t park where I was. NO difference in places. I tried to complain, etc. he said he would have me ticketed. her car had no ID for any special circumstances. I moved the car. The PO staff would not process the complaint. It was minor but it was one of my last times there so it remains in my mind.
You can NOT mail boxes or get stamps from a machine automatically as Seattle is now doing so be prepared to stand in line.

This is the big Post Office which used to serve all of Richland, before we got a new zip code in town. I used to have a Post Office box here way back in the day (when I was an apt-​hopper). This Office can get really crowded during the day and especially during the big «commercial holidays». The office for getting a passport is also within this office. It’s nice and grandiose, but I’m glad they moved me over to the West Richland office – it’s definitely more chill and new.
