- ADAC DumaualNov 26, 20251.0(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.
- CWColin WhiteNov 26, 20251.0Spent 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.
- JJJennyNov 12, 20255.0Staff 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.
- MSMichael StevensOct 20, 20251.0Needed to get fingerprinted for a background check, this is one of the few post offices that do it. I get there at 4, they say they only do it between 10 and 3. This isn't posted **anywhere** on their website. You just show up and learn that you wasted your time going there.
