I sent a priority package to my daughter, who is on a travel assignment at the hospital. The guy knocks on the door, but fails to leave the package. In the tracking history, they have the address as forwarded, which was for the previous tenant with a different name. Now, no one will answer and I recorded a 42 minute cackling session of employees in the office when I called. Phone was picked up, but no one answered because they were too busy playing in the background! This is unacceptable because the service wasn't free!! They informed my daughter that I would have to contact their office to have it returned to her because the package was going to be sent back to the sender. My daughter needs that package for work and NO ONE is trying to help. Online gives no assistance and everything is automated!! I NEED TO SPEAK WITH SOMEONE ABOUT THE PACKAGE AND SERVICE I PAID FOR..ASAP! I have already contacted consumer affairs about this matter! FEDEX would NEVER!! lesson learned, but I am NOT done with this issue!!!

(November 26) This was my first—and hopefully last—experience with this Post Office. I was making a return using the USPS Label Broker, and the item needed to be shipped back by December 5. After printing the label without any issues, I brought the package to the counter. The postal worker (an older woman) rejected the box, insisting that the label was invalid because the date at the top read 11/21. I explained that 11/21 was simply the date the company issued the return label and that the email clearly stated it was valid through December 5. She dismissed this and told me to contact the company.
Rather than argue, as she seemed quite unwilling to listen, I went to the USPS on Ranier Street about three miles away. There, the postal worker scanned my label without hesitation, handed me a receipt with tracking, and wished me a good day.
Bottom line: use caution when seeking service at this location, and consider visiting another post office instead.

Spent an hour getting here from north Seattle for the fingerprinting service, which they say closes at 3PM. I come back the next day and they tell me the machine is now broken and they don’t know when it will be fixed. They don’t answer the phone either - you have to go check in person if it’s working. Rude staff.

Staff who helped me for my fingerprint was very nice. Thank you!
I read reviews that they do the service only before 3pm and they weren't available sometimes.
So, I called them and check it before leaving home.
