I travel the extra 10 from Lakewood, just because service here is exponentially that much better. Never had any issue.

The gentleman that was working at 11am this Wednesday is so upbeat and friendly! I wish we had more people like him in customer service. I think his name was Cornelius (I couldn't get a good look at the name tag). Deserves a raise!

Craziest hours, how is never open? And if it's going to be closed why not have an automated machine to receive?

I have been a resident of Steilacoom since 2015. About a week ago the Steilacoom branch of the USPS decided on its own that I don’t live in my house anymore and began to “return to sender” all my incoming mail. The letter carrier placed a green slip in my mailbox directing the “new” residents to fill out the form so that they could begin to receive their mail.
This morning (15 May 23) I went to the Post Office to explain the mistake and the desk clerk was condescending and extremely rude, directing me to fill out the new residents’ form. I tried to explain that I wasn’t a new resident, she cut me off and directed me to fill out the new resident’s form. She wouldn’t even listen to me.
I was extremely surprised with her reaction to me and my problem because she was falling all over herself for a retired firefighter just back from vacation; picking up his held mail, then I come up to the desk and it’s stink-eye.
I just wanted to know why my mail was being “returned to sender” because I haven’t moved and didn’t request any service to do so.
I hope my mail delivery gets turned back on, but like they say in the Army “Hope is not a plan”
