If we could give the PO and employees a negative number we would. This PO is terrible now that you can't get your mail after hours, on the weekends and some of us don't want to go there during PO hours due to health issues.
Earlier this week we learned of new information about why the PO lobby was closed on November 19, 2022. It seems that earlier the Postmaster had resigned herself to letting a homeless person stay in the lobby at night as long as they came later at night and left early in the morning. This apparently escalated when the weather got colder and so the Postmaster felt she had no option but to close the lobby to everyone in off hours. There are local resources for the homeless and free bus transportation on our Island so it seems there was no need to tolerate or accommodate someone sleeping in the lobby at night. This whole issue seems to have happened because of the negligence of the Postmaster and should have been addressed immediately by someone of authority. It is not her place to provide a sleeping area where people come and go to get their mail and packages during off hours.
To add insult to injury, now we can't even mail anything in the drop box outside because it has been damaged and there is no timeline for fixing it. A week ago we had to drive to Freeland to mail a bill in order to use a drop box. That is ridiculous and certainly an inconvenience for everyone. We wrote to the Postmaster asking if it wasn't possible to get some night security down there so that the PO could remain open and also on the weekends but to no avail. Her solution was we could come in the early morning when someone opens the building. Well, we can't see if someone is there from our home so why would we go sit down there waiting for someone to open the building. We have not gotten our mail since November 22, 2022 so we haven't gotten any Christmas cards or time-sensitive mail since then. Very frustrating when we pay $166.00 a year for a box which is supposed to be accessible 24/7.

We have had a PO Box here for just over a year, and I cannot express enough gratitude for the awesome gals that work here. We are a small island community, and well removed from the I5 corridor, so mail takes longer here. It just does. My personal experience is that the EPIC team here in Clinton will do whatever they can to help find lost packages, track down the source of any issues, and greet you kindly and graciously every time you come in. Their jobs aren't easy, but MAN they are awesome! So thankful for our awesome Clinton Post Office team!!!

Counter people are grumpy and unhelpful. I refuse to go inside.

This P.O. is terrible in every way- terrible customer service, rude mail delivery people who frequently lose packages, unreliable hours. If there were an option to give them -5 stars, I would. They do not deserve even one star.
FYI- the lady who delivers to the Skatchet Head neighborhood is the worst. She frequently loses my packages or just fails to deliver them. Even after speaking with her directly on SEVERAL occasions, informing her of my Rubbermaid bin maid for parcel/package deliveries, (we have a fence and she refuses to cross it) she continues to mess up every single shipment, including my WEDDING GOWN!!!
