I received an update that my package was sent to this location, person on the counter said it wasn’t there and didn’t offer to help me and proceeded to ignore me, completely rude! They also said my passport I.D wasn’t a valid identification even though in if u look up usps identifications that are accepted, say otherwise the reason is because I don’t have the age to get any other identification. They also didn’t bother to leave a paper that said why they didn’t leave it at my house! Just avoid this place!

Unhelpful counter staff. Doesn't seem interested in helping people find lost mail. I get that he can't just go find it.....but at least pretend like you care....or get a different line of work.

One of the worst post office in the DC area. If you go in they are no help and they have an attitude. If you call they will put you on hold for an hour. And then hang up on you..
