I've only been to this location once to ship something in person. My experience was good in that respect. Like most Portland USPS shipping clerks, the staff was cheerful and friendly to the point of sometimes gabbing with customers while others wait in line and no one seems to mind (this is a rare gift, Oregonians. Read Brukowski's "Post Office" or ask yourself where the slang term "going postal" comes from, if you don't believe how surly and unhappy postal workers are in most other states). However, I've lived in the Creston-Kenilworth neighborhood for over a decade now, and I have to say that it's probably the worst carrier service I've ever had in my entire life. I can't count how many times I've done their job for them, personally delivering mail to neighbors or people I don't know blocks away after it ends up in my box for some unknown reason. It's happened so many times over the years I think I deserve a tax deduction or government stipend check for my efforts (although the check would probably be delivered to the wrong address most likely, so I'd take the deduction if offered, ha ha). I almost don't want to post this in fear of never getting any mail again if someone from that distribution center actually reads this, but if they don't know what's really going on with their carrier service that would be just as bad for everyone in my neighborhood. read more

I like this location. They have super friendly staff. Warren is super helpful, knowledgable and efficient. It's in a tricky spot as far as traffic is concerned. The parking lot is small, but there is also ample street parking. I can only imagine the abuse and expectations the general publics puts on the staff working here. They all seem pretty kind and patient and are just doing their job. I do wish they had a machine to purchase stamps or weigh and pay for your own packages like I've seen at other locations. read more

US Post Office - Working quickly and efficiently. - Post Offices Near Me - Culver, Oregon

See all

This review is meant to reflect how this post office compares to others, okay? Do I like going to the post office? Heck no. It's the worst. Shipping stuff (especially around holidays) is literally the worst chore. I give these guys five stars because they make the worst chore tolerable. The employees have a sense of humor, but also a sense of time. Expect your interactions to be pleasant and for the line to move as quickly as can be expected. if it can possibly be helped, try to come prior to 4 PM Tuesday-Thursday to avoid the worst of the lines. read more

US Post Office - Post Offices Near Me - Culver, Oregon

It seems like it would be easy to hate on the USPS. They're the object of much ridicule and scorn. Lackadaisical employees, untrustworthy service (they lost a very important package of mine recently from another office), long lines, etc. Of course operating a shipping and mailing service of this magnitude is not easy. Even UPS and FedEx suffer from some of the similar issues that USPS has (lost packages, surly employees, sneaky ninja delivery drivers that can deliver missed delivery slips to your door without even setting off a motion sensor light, etc) but after years of visiting this and the Gateway location, I have to say my "meh" is somewhat well-deserved. First off, street access to the location of this office is maddening at best. You have to know the special street-route holding pattern necessary to even access the parking lot without making some seriously questionable and illegal across-four-yellow-lines left turns. The lot itself is small and filled with drivers obviously brand new to the sport (regardless of how old they look). The space inside is small and can get crowded quickly. Aside from the access, which is really driving my "meh" impersonation of this place, the service here is on par with what you'd expect from today's Post Office. Friendly at times, especially if you are friendly to them, but often understaffed and slow. Your best bet, as always, is to pre-print your postage and just drop your box on the counter. I'll still use this location because, well, there aren't a lot of options in this universe for USPS. Also I should add a note that my impressions of USPS stop at the letter carriers themselves. I have to say I've never, ever experienced a bad letter carrier. Maybe it's the whole 'working out in the fresh air' thing, or getting to do the fun part of the job (going from house to house) but my interactions with and impressions of letter carriers have always been superior to my interactions with the office staff. read more

Best post office I've ever been to. They have everything that you need, and they'll help you tape everything up. And the people working there are really nice! (Sometimes rare at post offices I have noticed) It's kind of hidden in a corner so everytime I have gone there hasn't been a line, always in and out very quick. read more

I run a small business selling industrial components on ebay. I have always shipped my goods with USPS flat rate boxes.Today I brought a box to this USPS office. The employee remarked that the box is heavy, carried it to the deep steel bins behind the counter and dropped my package 5' straight down; Where it slammed onto the steel floor of the box. I was stunned! I exclaimed you can't do that! You can't just drop my package 5' straight down onto steel. She said "it wasn't marked fragile" and that it would be "dropped when it was delivered". I took a picture of this nutjob and said if my goods were damaged when they arrived I'd take action. She laughed and sneered, "if you have shipping insurance you can claim that!" The photo was taken on 04/18/2014 at 4:25 PM. She likely destroyed my goods at 4:20PM. I can't imagine their insurance provider would think much of their insureds willfully destroying customers packages. As I left the store the employee called me a "creep". I have always done business with the USPS, but I can't believe the entitlement, recklessness and rudeness of the employee at this branch. If ever there was a bad apple this is one of them. I will never ship equipment with these people again. It might be okay for sending letters or clothing, things that can't be destroyed by reckless handling. Update 4/23/2014 Buyer received the item. My merchandise is destroyed. Naturally, I issued a full refund and an apology. I package my items carefully, but there is no way to economically package something well enough to survive extreme negligence. It wouldn't surprise me much if they had smashed it up more after I complained. I asked my buyer for the photos, morbidly curious to see how much damage they inflicted. Bottom Line: If all USPS offices had employees like this one, I couldn't afford to run a business. Buyer's message: WELL -- IT FINALLY SHOWED UP -- BUT BADLY BROKEN. THE COIL COVER IS BROKEN, THE OVERLOAD BLOCK IS BROKEN AND WHAT IS LEFT IN THE WAY OF USEABLE PARTS IS WORTH ABOUT 20.00. I CAN E-MAIL PHOTOS IF YOU WOULD LIKE -- MY PHONE # PLEASE RESPOND AS TO HOW TO PROCEED. Link to actual response. http://i1016.photobucket.com/albums/af282/Tucker_Church/2014-04-23_16h31_53_zpsddb779bb.jpg read more

I think they do a pretty good job here (as far as USPS goes). It's one of the more convenient post offices around town and our mail is *generally* delivered. *BUT, I mail a lot of semi-rigid envelopes at the $.49 rate for each one. There is never a problem machining them when there are only 1-5 envelopes, but if I try to drop off a stack of 6 or more, they won't even try to machine them. Instead they bundle them up with rubber bands, ensuring they can no longer be machinable, slap a $.21 postage due for all envelopes, and send them back to me. They did this so many times I stopped going there. I figured out a way around it, and now they pick my mail up at the front door and I never get envelopes sent back for postage due either. read more

This is a great post office. Really lovely staff, who seem to be genuinely happy to be there, which says a ton about their team and what they do. Post offices can always be stressful, but the people who work at this location make the wait worth it. Customer service is an art form, and these peeps have it down, so thank you! **Note - I have a job that requires me to ship up to 5-10 packages a week, and heavily rely on USPS as an extension of my own business, if it was not for USPS, I don't know where I would be. read more

This Post Office opens on weekends, but only for package pickups and access to your mail boxes. If you want to ship/mail stuff, you need to go to the one near Mall 205. Other than that, you get whatever you expect in a typical US post office. Very friendly staff is a plus. But the place is pretty much always packed all the time. So, expect long lines and crying babies. read more

Going to the post office never sounds fun to me, but this one is great if you go before about 330 on week days. Warren is great and always in such a great welcoming mood (even when there is a line out the door during rush hour) that you can't help but match his mood. read more

There's a friendly and helpful staff at this Post Office, but it can be astonishingly busy. It's best avoided during peak hours such as Monday's after work rush. read more

After dealing with the post office on 7th, this place was like walking through the gates to heaven. Of course ultimately it was a post office, and my analogy is that the USPS is sort of the modern day equivalent of looking up information at a library rather than on the internet... But the line actually moved! read more

I loved the customer service here and it wasn't as busy when they opened on a weekday like it is in other USPS offices in Portland. (At least with my experience!) Great attitudes and fast service. Double like for convenient location to me :) (Biased). read more

After stopping in here today, I was immediately put off by the huge line and only one person working behind the counter. This seems to be the norm at this post office during it's busy times as it was the same way last Monday when I stopped in. The women working behind the desk was not polite and downright rude to several customers ahead of me and when it was my turn, she proceeded to practically grill me about the contents of my letter that was being sent abroad. In short, I wish this wasn't my local post office and in the future I will try not to use this branch unless absolutely necessary. If you can avoid using this branch, it may be in your best interest as it may not get any better as the busier shipping times before the holidays come. read more
