US Post Office

They left me a notice that they had missed me at 4:16 pm. I got home from work around 5 pm. On the notice card, it said that my parcel was available to pick up after 5 pm the same day they left me the notice. So i went straight to this office only to be told to pick it up tomorrow. Very impassion and unprofessional worker she was.

One person at the counter and 14 people
waiting in line. Self serve kiosk is frequently (and currently) out of order. Plan for double the amount of time you would imagine a trip to the post office to take.

Don’t complain about this place. Its too late for me but don’t do it. Apparently, my mail carrier is trying to get revenge on me by either not delivering my mail and not even trying to knock on my door or ring my bell.
I had called the post office to complain about a package not being delivered even though I was at home. 5 hours later, a dozen calls later, and promises that they would return and deliver my package, I was informed that it was back at the post office. I was home the entire time watching the window waiting for her to come back and she never did. I was told to sign the slip that was left to allow her to leave the package without me signing. Of course, she said she couldn’t get into my building to deliver the package when she «tried again». How does that make sense? How does she deliver mail everyday if she can’t get into the building? She just doesn’t want to own up to her mistakes, or in this case her laziness. She just lies to cover up the fact that she is a terrible worker that can’t even do her job right.
Now I don’t get my mail on time anymore. I recently saw on the tracking website that my delivery was held for almost one and a half weeks before they delivered it. It was confirmed as being in Seattle and not moving for that period of time for no apparent reason.
I have 3 magazine subscriptions as well but suddenly they come late as well.
Another time, there was a package I ordered that HAS to be refrigerated immediately. This being the case, I have to sign for it. As in, they can’t deliver it if I don’t sign for it. Of course, it was sitting in front of the neighbors door without anyone signing for it because the carrier is obviously mad that I called in to complain that she doesn’t do her job. It’s ridiculous that they’re allowed to do this just because I called in a complaint against her.

The worst, ever.
I went to the Bitterlake post office today 10:00 am. I had a package to mail, it was in a Beringer wine box. I was informed I would need to cover all mention of wine before it could be mailed. I asked if it was okay if i duct taped over those parts and was told «as long as the wine is covered.» I took my package back, covered it and stood in line again.
This time, the same person who’d helped me before (a woman who sounded like she may have been Philipina, younger lady) sighed at me and raised her voice to tell me it needed to be covered and it couldn’t say wine. I had covered all mention of wine. There were some words visible, but they were just talking about a PGA tour and had a picture of a golfer. There was NO mention of wine anywhere on the package. She pointed at a few words (one of which was «time,» not «wine») and yelled at me that they would not accept it because it said wine on it. I tried to tell her she’d not told me I had to cover the entire box, but she just kept loudly yelling wine and pointing at «time.»
This was a waste of my 30 min break for the day. Had she said the entire package would need to be covered, I’d have left and come back the next day with it covered. Yelling at a customer because you explained the rules incorrectly isn’t acceptable. I tried to call the Bitterlake post office to speak to a manager, but nobody answered.
This employee is really awful and I hope someone will speak to her. She was working at approximately 10 am today, 12/​10/​2015 and there was only one other person at the counter, an older asian lady. The person who «assisted» me was extremely rude, couldn’t explain what I needed to do to have my package mailed and raised her voice at me, which is not appropriate.

Was there on a Thursday afternoon. Very helpful, friendly vibe.

Came here on a Tuesday afternoon. There were only a couple of other customers and no line. The person who helped us was very patient and made sure to go over all the options for our shipment and explained everything we needed to know.
Shipping via the US Postal Service is less expensive than couriers such as UPS and FedEx and they even offer overnight shipping to most U.S. addresses. (Keep in mind that, if you’re Canadian like me, you have to be able to provide a return address within the US.)

This post office was decent. The line was relatively long for 12:30 in the afternoon on a Tuesday, though. I stood in line for a solid 15 minutes. They appear to be a little understaffed. There were only two people working at the register and the line had 10 or 12 people in it. When another person jumped on, things moved a little faster. Other than that, I appreciated the humor of the person who took care of me. She was very careful to make sure that everything was done properly. They had a good selection of services, boxes and packing materials. Overall, an ok experience.
