- SSS Schiereck5 days ago5.0Incredible Post Office where I always receive the best service 🫡🇺🇸📯
- LRLiliana Ramirez6 days ago1.0The worst experience I’ve ever received out in public ever — and thats saying a lot. I never write reviews good or bad but the clerks that work there are awful. I walk in and there’s only one other lady who is filling out paperwork for her package (not in line) so I go up to the counter where the clerk is. She doesn’t even look up and says “you need to get in line behind the grey line and wait to be called”. I ask “Oh do I need a number or something?” cause I was confused why she just didn’t want to help. I’m pretty self-aware and read body language and the clerk was not busy, she was just standing there. It was more like a power trip thing or like they decide who to help and who to bully. Anyways I recorded some of the audio of the way they were speaking to me and I just want someone to be held accountable for the bad service cause reading these reviews it seems like it’s been happening for a while without any of the clerks receiving repercussions for their terrible service. They told me they weren’t going to help me and to not come back so I put in a complaint.
- MDMegan DarlingtonDec 17, 20251.0Seems like they just make up their own hours here, because I showed up around 3pm on a Wednesday to a paper "closed for lunch" sign on the door and multiple other confused people standing around outside
- CSConnie SherowDec 12, 20251.0This post office never opens on time. The staff seem to follow their own schedule, not the posted hours. I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve waited outside for them to open, only to give up and leave because my time was being wasted. Very frustrating and unreliable.
- IBI BDec 1, 20251.0If I could leave 0 stars, I would do that. Worse USPS location in DC and not clear how their employee continues to be employed. When I came there was not a single person in line and a woman servicing told me she is busy and I need to wait. And I waited, waited, waited and she just continued doing her own thing ignoring her sole customer! Then she walked away to another room without even bothering to pay any attention to the client. I had to turn around and leave. Don't come here and get service in other locations.
