    The Lakewood Colorado post office consistently loses outgoing mail and packages and fails to deliver mail and packages to me (that I can see via Informed Delivery). I constantly receive mail that belongs to neighbors nearby and people not nearby, that I promptly bring to the post office or put into the correct mailboxes myself--as if I need a third job! When I take time to report this, I get phone calls from people at this post office who give me an attitude, lie, gaslight, and make excuses. There is never any accountability or consequences for the postal workers who are guilty of theft, loss, and misplacement of mail because this has gone on for years and continues. I'd like to remind them that mail theft and loss due to gross incompetence is not a victim-less crime. These entitled folks receive salaries and benefits and yet cannot do their basic job of delivering mail. They appear to have nothing but contempt for consumers and complain incessantly about not making enough money. The USPS is currently bankrupt and I hope they close permanently. They have wasted enough taxpayer dollars while causing serious harm to taxpayers. The ratings here on Yelp suggest that this post office should take steps to improve or else close already. I have let everyone I know to stop sending things via U.S. mail. All shipping carriers are bad but USPS is egregious. Mail theft is a Federal crime. I hope wrongdoers (corrupt or incompetent postal workers or those who receive other people's mail and keep it) are prosecuted for it. For laughs, I am attaching a horrible USPS policy stated in writing that when they lose a package or letter, that a recipient should ask the sender to send it again. Wow--instead of doing their jobs ethically and competently, they expect people to spend more $$$ when USPS drops the ball. This type of thinking is why our country is a mess and why the USPS needs to be shut down permanently.

    Anthony took the time to hand write the address of my actual post office!  Above and beyond!!

    Anthony was great! He helped me with my change of address, even took the time to write out my official "home post office". Service above and beyond!

    Watch my package pinball from Commerce City to Lakewood and back to Commerce City. They do this about 25% of the time.

    This may be the worst post office in America. Actually, I hope it is, because I can't imagine ever having to deal with a worse one. They constantly mishandle and misroute packages, when they don't straight-up trash them. I'm looking at the tracking history for a package that made it all the way to them, and all they had to do was put in the truck for my mailman to deliver. But then some moron loaded it on the wrong truck and now it's back on the other side of town where it will likely spend the next couple of days before getting shipped back to these chuckleheads. And that's a relatively minor case of incompetence. I've seen them send my packages on coast-to-coast tours of the United States before they arrive, weeks or even months late. I honestly don't think they've ever delivered a package of mine on time. But hey, I get my junk mail like effing clockwork every day. And then there are the packages that don't arrive at all. I recently received an empty bag with a giant slice though it and a note that said "It was like that when we got it." Sure it was, guys. At least it showed up, which is more than I can say for several other packages of mine that just disappeared without so much as a "sorry for sucking so hard" from the USPS. I realize that a lot of my problems with the USPS aren't specific to this post office, but they're the tip of the crappy spear here. And they know it, too. Lines for service are at least a half-hour each visit, typically because there's two people working the counter at most. They work at their own pace, too, and that pace is glacial. They also act like doing their jobs is physically painful to them. My last in-person visit involved me dropping off a package with a pre-paid label on it. Basically, I'd already done 99% of the work for them, and all they needed to do was scan it, put it on a cart, and hand me a receipt. But because it was five minutes to close, the rep acted like I just asked her to clean the bathroom with her tongue. It was all I could do to bite my own tongue and just walk out.

    Long lines

    The service is good, but the lines always take at least 20 mins. Typically there are only two employees, so don't expect a quick stop!

    Internal Theft - says my package was delivered March 14, 2024 (during the major snow storm) at 11:46am when I was out front shoveling. Not one car drove down my road. You can't get anyone on the phone for assistance of course.

My complex told me it would take them two full weeks to complete and that we need to pick up our mail at the local post office (this one.) the clerk who helped me was really reluctant to help me at all and then took quite literally over 30 minutes to find my mail for me, no packages. When she returned she didn't say thank you for waiting or anything of that nature. she told me that's how long it takes to find the mail so next time I really shouldn't come pick it up this way.... After I already explained to her and her supervisor what the situation was and why the mail was undeliverable. Which the manager agreed he was aware of. I was fine waiting until the clerk quite literally passive aggressively told me next time not to come pick up mail cause it takes her so long. Unprofessional and rude! I kindly explained to her that that doesn't change anything for me I will still need to be back next week to get my mail as it is undeliverable due to my physical mail box, and I thanked her for her time and said I'll see you next week. Very frustrating experience here and I don't feel it was necessary. Going forward I'll be avoiding this post office

I mentioned in a previous review that I do not go to post offices at all frequently, but in the two or three times I have been to this little gem this year, I was able to park right outside or around the corner, and get in and out to complete my errands efficiently. My most recent experience involved finding stamps to mail my son's wedding invitations. I explained my task to the person behind the counter. She weighed my invitation and pointed me to a 2 cent stamp with a pretty bouquet of flowers, surely the right stamp for my stash of wedding invitations. However, there weren't enough of that stamp for all my envelopes, so I would have to choose a second stamp, as well. While I was looking at the options, trying to decide what to do, she suddenly ran to the back and came out with a brand new stamp that had only just come out a few days prior (early March, 2024). This also was a lovely stamp; and there were lots and lots of them! I really appreciate her creativity and willingness to go above and beyond for me. Since that time, I've stopped by a few times to mail some returns, or whatever, and this person still remembers me! This establishment has the feel of a small local business where everyone is neighborly and helpful. I love that.
