- RFRick FryeOct 4, 20252.0Realize that in spite of paying for 24 hour access to your P.O. Box, the entire building is locked except during the limited hours of counter service. Understand that this demonstrates yet another example of the decline in service from your federal government.
- ABAaron BrownAug 19, 20242.0This post office does not open until 10:00 a.m.
- ADAdrienne Engle DareJan 6, 20231.017 people in line yesterday, 14 the day before. I've been trying to pick up 5 packages since before Christmas. Like most people I don't have 2 hours to stand in line. The entire island is in an uproar. It's not our local employees; it's the postal service not supplying needed staffing. Most days there are there are 2 workers up front, but even they disappear for breaks, lunch or just going in the back to hunt for packages, leaving one overworked employee to serve a line of people that fills the tiny lobby and then winds itself around and thru the road of post office boxes. The mail carriers who deliver mail to homes are out delivering mail until after 9 pm. This is negatively impacting 10,000 people. Something with the USPS has gone horribly wrong.
- JPJade PopeDec 17, 20222.0I believe some of the issues at the Vashon post office are due to being short staffed. Which is understandable and forgivable. Some of the staff are friendly, seem competent, and are doing their best. Some are unhelpful, unfriendly, and downright rude. Perhaps the most frustrating thing is the lack of consistency and information. Hours listed on official USPS website (9-5 M-F 11-2 Sat) differ from the actual hours of operation 10-5 M-F 11-2 Sat. The first time I had a package I waited in line for half an hour to collect it and was told, “next time knock on the the door in the lobby". So the next few times I do that. The person at the door is always helpful and pleasant and gets the packages. Today I knock to collect a package I’d received a notice for a week earlier, but they had not been able to find on two prior visits, and I’m rudely told to join the counter line. Maybe due to staffing some days you can have a package pickup line and other days you cannot. If that’s the case put up a sign so people know. Or at least be polite to your customers. So 4 stars for most of you and zero for the "lady” today making an average of two. Those of you who are working hard and doing your best really are appreciated.
