I usually use this USPS location because it's the closest one to me but, I'm going to start going elsewhere. Not only is there always a line out the door but, when I drop packages off here, it always takes forever for them to arrive at their destination! One time here recently it took 3 weeks to get to get to it's destination within the US. And not only that, but I was also overcharged by $4 but didn't figure out why until I got home. The lady charged me an extra $4 for some non standard package fee which was BS because it was just a regular standard size little box, there was no reason for it. Did I ever get refunded for it? Nope. So just be aware.

Professional & friendly employees! Never had any issues with shipping out packages from this location. I think the cost is too high for shipping through the USPS but I blame the last Postmaster General for that.

I used the services at USPS, Lynnwood and the overall experience was positive and very good. The staff was
professional, polite and experienced. The facility was clean, modern and well-equipped. I tried and went there to return a package, and it was delivered with attention to detail, efficiency, friendliness and the staff is very quick as well. Prices were
reasonable, fair, expensive but worth it in general but my return was free. I’d recommend
this place to anyone looking for USPS near their location better than other locations I have been to. Faster and friendlier.

I had a great experience dropping of mail here and ordering stamps. Customer service was great probably because I was the only one there!
