The usual epic wait for ONE person working at the counter!
Margot D.

This is the epicenter of Pentagon City inefficiency, the only constant here is that there will ALWAYS be a wait (and lobby will always have trash blowing around). Let's go back to this morning: went in a few hours ago to get labels for a certified mail envelope, none were available in the outer lobby, none were in the inner lobby either. Had to flag down someone working in the back to get them, but WHY aren't they out and available??? Came back a few hours later with my envelope ready to go, and the only reason why I was sending it certified is because I don't trust them to actually get it there, all 3.8 miles of the envelope's journey. Sent a text to a friend so I would know what time I arrived, and when I finally made it to the counter, it was 13 minutes later. I have many questions, but the main one - and it is probably shared with everyone in line ahead and behind me - is why is there only ONE PERSON WORKING?? Why?? The APC machine has been out of service for over a week, so anyone needing that is also forced to wait in the hell known as the S. Fern PO. The final kick in the ass was paying $8.20 to send something that I was afraid they would lose/otherwise f**k up.

Trash place! Complete mess and disgusting facility. There's trash all over the place, full bins, missing utilities, broken wall panels and liquid all over the floor! Terrible, terrible location!

Automated postal machine seems to never work lately

The location is really convenient if you're able to walk here but parking is iffy if you're stuck driving. Don't be fooled by their automated postal machine. Theoretically you can use it to ship packages when the post office is closed, but it seems like it isn't working at least half the time leaving you to lug the package home. Other times the machine will mail your package...only to have it returned for insufficient postage. Our tax dollars at work!

It took them 5 days just to move the package from the Arlington, VA office to the Capitol Heights, MD facility.  That's a 10 mile drive.

"We don't guarantee your package will get anywhere." - Mike Drustrup, USPS, Manager of 1301 S Fern St Is this where you should be trusting your valuable, important mail and packages. I will think twice about using this branch again.
