    Let me preface by saying I'm not really one to leave a review for anything, but I've had nothing but terrible experiences with the Federal Building post office. For the last few years they have gotten absolutely nothing right when I've used them. From outright ignoring holds on mail and returning all parcels to senders on multiple occasions, to leaving snarky unprofessional, and completely incorrect notes in our mailbox, and lazy, work-avoidant behavior for tasks as simple as printing a label in person. Do yourself a favor and go to any other USPS location in Juneau. I've been tempted to open a PO Box at the wonderful Douglas location just to avoid dealing with the absolutely miserable and incompetent carriers and customer facing employees downtown.

    This has got to be the worst post office I have ever been to. I travel for work, so the post office is very important for me. I had a package sent and being proactive, went early to ensure there were no issues. The person on Saturday doing packages was nice, had me fill out paperwork and said she would hold it. I go back on Monday after work and the older man at the counter was extremely short and rude. He did not want to look up the package number- I had to insist. He went back and said it wasn't there and then every question I asked was met with a snide and short remark. I dont understand why people get customer facing jobs when their attitudes are terrible. It was 15 minutes to closing and he was watching the clock- he didn't even try to hide it. Terrible!

    Had a delivery issue (missing package) to report. The staff at US Post Office was very helpful and located the package. Great service even with staff shortage.

    I recently switched my box from the valley to this post office and it took about 2 days for me to regret it. Employees are nice but if you need 1 thing extra, forget it. They are not going to extend one inch of help towards your issue. Juneau has some pretty horrible customer service even by Alaska standards, but you need to recenter your Chi before going in here. There is 1 employee working, there may be a passport in progress and 3 people in line, but there will be 1 employee and don’t expect more. This is the only Juneau office closed on Saturday, and 9 times out of 10 the package you need will be delivered on Saturday. Don’t be fooled by the tracking saying your package is ready for pickup, that really means it is being held for pickup on a weekday and size does not matter. I didn’t have many expectations for the USPS anymore, but now I have even less. My statements are from my experiences and watching other customer experiences in person at this post office. If you need anything other than just getting your small envelope junk mail out of your po box, do yourself a favor and go anywhere else.

    Lost the package containing my passport. WTH? Tracking number shows it being held at this location, their internal system doesn't show it existing.
