- LOLaura O'GradyNov 1, 20255.0An exceptional PO. Professional and polite.
- KKKoenSep 2, 20251.0General delivery pickup is only from 10 am, info which is not shared anywhere untill after waiting in line for a good long while for the rude clerk to tell you. Waste of my time.
- RCRobert CernakAug 21, 20251.0You can pick up packages here just between 10 to 12 AM. I didn't find this opening hours listed anywhere. Post office manager was rude all the time speaking with me. One package out of two didn't come here, so I was told to speak with manager. He blamed me that it's my fault that I put wrong ZIP code 98101 in delivery address and told me that it should be 98111 for general delivery. I showed him another package I just received here with ZIP Code 98101. He told me I should not speak like this with him. At the end he just gave me some number for automat, which didn't help me at all.
- YZYuan ZhangAug 4, 20255.0Surprisingly pleasant experience. Very efficient. The lobby smells bad but the service is great
- JWJulie WatsonAug 1, 20251.0Worst experience at any USPS location. Line out the door, still waiting & it’s been 20 minutes. One employee. Too much chit chatting w/customers. And laughing w/customers. Completely inefficient.
