US Post Office

For one, all these rude ass people talking about how everyone who works here ‘probably hates their life or is a pathetic loser’ should shut the
F*^% up. How incredibly awful of you. It’s a post office– not a luxury spa or something. These people work hard and don’t deserve your guff. Plus it’s a federal office– would you really expect anything more than what service you get?
This specific office being minimally staffed is my only complaint. They’ve always been patient, kind and resolved problems efficiently. Keep in mind most problems that happen are on the actual mail carriers end– not the people who staff the desk. Lines can get long around lunch time and right before closing… like MOST post offices.

Is this place some secret USPS oasis? I was in and out of there in less than ten minutes and it was around lunch time. There were more workers than customers at one point. The fella at the desk was super nice. I’ll have to come here next time I need to go to the post office and see if it was just some aberration of awesomeness.

don’t bother about finding out anything about your mail: no help adds up to no service and if it is about a real problem-you’re really out of luck… notices are not left as stated or attempted deliveries, when you know people were at home !!!

For an organization that is hemorrhaging money like the USPS is, one should come in with very low expectations for service. However, as far as post offices go, this location far surpasses those low expectations. The Chinese and Filipino guys working the counter are always friendly and efficient, and the line moves quickly. They even proactively suggested a more cost efficient shipping method when I last visited. Long term (before stamps cost $ 1), I hope the USPS is able to adapt to the new economy and find some more sustainable sources of revenue (partnerships, on demand svcs, etc).

Hate this office! They are nothing but incompetent human beings that dislike their jobs so much they are rude to customers and aren’t helpful at all! The mailman delivers my packages all the time are random neighbors’ house and my neighbors also have to deliver them to me. This time again they delivered my packages somewhere else (Well I think, because it says they were delivered at my house, but nothing was at my front door when I got home) and no one has return them to me. I call the office to sort things out and the lady that answer the phone said there is me and one other clerk only we can’t help you right now call back in 30min. I had already previously call and they said the same thing, so the second time I call I was told to call back in 30min? I told her I could hold then she replied «I can’t help you right now we are really busy» What I am supposed to do to get my packages!!! If they hadn’t deliver them somewhere else in the first place this would’t be happening. BAD BAD BAD Customer Services!!! Hate US Post Offices they are all the same, nothing but full of incompetent sad people that really dislike their lives probably, well at least they sound like it. If I could I would give them no starts.

The staff here is always grouchy and truly live up the comedic stereotypes of postal workers. These folks hate customers, their jobs, and probably themselves.
You won’t find Cliff Clavin here!

I hesitate to say this because I’m afraid everyone will start coming here… but it’s the best! Everyone who works here is super nice and helpful and except on certain days (day before taxes are due, Christmas mailing, etc.), it’s not very crowded. I changed my mail in 2009 from home delivery to a PO box here and got to know most of the people who work here and I just love this place! It’s my «other address» for sure! The staff know who I am, call me by name, joke with me, and help me with my numerous mailings and package deliveries. Can’t say enough good stuff about them! I’m a lifer at the Georgetown PO!

This is the best USPS location in Seattle, but the office is hidden inside the street and a little hard to find but with plenty of parking and safe, so you don’t have to pay for parking or worrying about parking tickets. It’s very quiet, so you don’t have to wait in a long line (other locations in Chinatown and Colombia City has 15″ wait time in line). Services are alway helpful and great, they’ll tell exactly what shipping service that you need with a minimum cost. I always choose this location for any domestic shipping around 1lb — 20lbs.

Most folks who know me know that I despise USPS offices.
If you ever want to feel stupid or like you’re wasting precious minutes of your life, go there.
The lines are always long and the staff short-​handed. Two people working a window during the rush? Makes perfect sense.
And the inconsistent unhelpful staff is always a extra bonus too.
However.
This location in Georgetown is actually pretty quick and nice. I admit that I did have to wait a few minutes to drop off a pkg but it wasn’t anyone’s fault but the gentleman who didn’t know what he wanted.
I recommend going to smaller USPS offices when you can; they are often nicer and know that you want out as much as they want their next break.
