I've been to this Post Office several times because it's right across the street from my office. Unlike a lot of the reviewers, I'm going to review the people there and my experiences. I'll never go to the Post Office if I'm in a rush. If I do, it'll be either early in the morning, or sometime between 1-4pm. So yes, I do plan my trips to the post office because I know, that most like all businesses, they are busy during rush hours. Normally I'll wait about 5 minutes to see one of the girls. And I've got to say, they are extremely nice and patient. If I was one of them and saw all these negative reviews and have to deal with some of you, trust me, I would not be happy and you'll know it. But these girls are on another level and they understand your pain. About 1-1.5 weeks before Christmas day, I had to send out several gifts to some friends. They were all the same size, and I saw online that they had a local, one size, shipping box that is A LOT cheaper than their standard shipping. The only problem is that I had to order boxes online and I didn't know of this until I went to the Post Office and asked if they had those. The girl in front said they didn't have any because it had to be special ordered and delivered, which can take up to two weeks. She went around the office and found 2, which I need 15 but recommended I call other offices. Low and behold, after my fourth Post Office call, there was one in Mountlake Terrace that had several of them. I know that experience wasn't the best, but considering there were lots of impatient people in line in both locations, I think that just going out of their way to look for boxes that they didn't have an abundance of stock around was good enough service for me. read more

Drove specifically to this location because it was open, and they closed earlier than posted hours with blinds drawn and no employees around. read more

Worst post office ever, had to go back sooooo many times to get our change of address unordered and never got the mail that had been missing! It's been over a year and I can confirm mail was never returned to sender. We lost our original closure check, that had to be reissued and several birthday cards. Mill Creek is sooo much better AND then have a 24 hour lobby. read more

the location for me is good. they have newer employees that work hard and try and move that line. i was there for the Christmas season and it was good vibes. line went quick! read more

Waited in line like everyone else to get passports and a couple who PARKED NEXT TO US AND CAME IN AFTER US whined that they had an apt. They were SILENT and waiting behind us until the post office worker said he'd only take four walk ins today. THEN suddenly they had an appt at 10:45. They arrived at 10:58 like we did. We watched them park next to us and take their time getting their baby out of the car. They LIED. Said they had been in like since 10:50. If that were true they'd have been AHEAD OF US IN LINE. And yet the worker took the liars anyway (because he makes the rules. Typical old white man) and now could only take three walk in appts Guess in America liars get what they want I guess the only way to get. read more

Ship your important documents and packages by UPS. This office is HORRIBLE! The staff and most of the mail carriers are not professional and they couldn't care less how they treat you. FYI...making a formal complaint is a waste of time. Nothing gets better! Write your district congressional person to help make a change! read more

Very professional in carrying out the work and at the same time pleasantly chatty. I do not have occasion to go more than once every several months but always enjoy the trip to my neighborhood post office. read more

I hope USPS goe's out of business! THEY DON'T DESERVE TO HANDLE PACKAGES!! 3 DOA ANIMAL SHIPPMENTS AND YOU BASTARDS DARE LIE TO ME SAYING YOU "TRIED TO DELIVER AND NO ONE WAS HOME?!" I work from home due to COROA YOU IDIOT'S! If you can't ship and drop off like UPS, DHL, FedEX or ANY OTHER COMPANY THAT SHIP'S THEN CLOSE YOU FUCKING DOOR'S! I'm sick and tired of having to find a time to drive to your office with HORRIBLE HOUR'S to pick up package's that can be dropped off. "But Sir, we are short staffed and not compensated enough for our job's and can't drop anything off in an apartment complex, we'd have to do that for everyone....." Then do that... One reason I berate and belittle this company soooo much now. Getting my mail whether through rain sleet or snow my ass. More like get your own mail, we don't want to walk or drive down and find the address. I really do hope this business practice either causes this company to go under or have another company buy it out and make it a POSTAL SERVICE AGAIN! Until then I do NOT recommened sending, buying anything that won't fit in a standard mail box, just pay the extra for UPS or FedEx. USPS is a waste of time and no one who work's their rally care's that you get your package, just don't get angry at them or they will try and back away with every issue in the book for not dropping thing's off! read more

They don't scan the packages when you drop off and a lot of them get lost because of that, Not doing their job, but walk around and talk. Had so much problems with lost packages just because they don't do the job they suppose to, so frustrating. read more

I ve been to several usps offices in the north and this is the best! Very nice service provided read more

Adelpha is thee worst postal worker I've encountered. Didnt greet me, not helpful wouldnt give 1 small piece of tape. Everything was buy, buy, thought I was in a small corner store or bad hood movie. Reported her to her boss through Cindy who was very pleasant over the phone. The yelp ratings prove this place needs new staff or training. Go down the street to Lynnwood Mail Mart if you're used to Good American customer service. Their yelp rating is awesome https://www.yelp.com/biz/lynnwood-mail-mart-lynnwood?utm_source=ashare&utm_campaign=status_quo_sheet&ref=yelp-android read more

US Post Office - Worst postal worker I've encountered go down the street to Lynnwood mail mart they like people - Post Offices Near Me - Lynnwood, Washington

The old Asian man working behind the counter is hella rude! I stopped by to mail a package yesterday. I had everything ready to go. I printed the label at work and the box was all taped up. I asked for him to affix the label, since it was printed on regular paper (not adhesive-backed). He proceeded to tell me that He would do it for me, but next time I need to bring my own tape or buy some, etc etc etc. I could understand his position, if the package was not prepared. However, if I had not printed the label myself and had him weigh it and create a label, he would have AFFIXED THE LABEL HIMSELF! So why the attitude for me trying to most of the job myself? Jerk! read more

Entered the establishment at 4:00 p.m. One clerk was waiting on a customer and a second clerk called me up within a few seconds after entering. This lady assisted me in a prompt and very cheerful manner. Much appreciated! read more

There's not too much that can really go wrong with a post office. Their services are so incredibly standardized that it's almost impossible to tell them apart. This one is very small, but they offer full service. You can ship internationally from here, etc., etc. The staff are friendly. You can drop off letters and packages at night. The usual deal. Parking is pretty good. No complaints. I feel kinda stupid even trying to think of anything meaningful to say about it, but I can't bring myself to X out of the Pending Review indicator. read more

This is the worst customer service I have ever experienced, seriously the absolute worst. The women who answer the phone here, like Lori, talk to me as if I'm the ex husband that ruined her life, not the patient, polite, and inquisitive customer that I am. They are so rude and argumentative that you begin to wonder, is this personal? It is consistently aggressive and unhelpful. The post master isn't much better. He just flat out lied but wouldn't get on the phone to do it. He had Lori do it. I have been attempting to work with this post office for 5 months to move our mailboxes bc they are in such a dangerous location. Initially, after multiple attempts of contacting the post master were ignored and then I was berated by his employee, I filed a complaint at the federal level. Finally, Post Master Sean Barnes responded by visiting my house unannounced with a copy of my complaint in his hand. He promised that he would have me and my neighbor's mailboxes moved. He assured me that I was right and they are in fact in a dangerous location. He said there were things he needed to work out but he told me to just wait for more details to come in the mail. Fast forward 3 months later and our mailboxes are still not moved. I have never received anything in the mail. Our mailboxes end up being the victims of a hit and run. When I called to follow up, I get the same treatment by Lori, talking over me, and changing the story. Now they claim that the post office doesn't move mailboxes and we need to move our own (this is different from what Sean Barnes told me in person) and refusing to give me what I ask for which is proof in writing that we have permission to move our mailbox. This was our conversation today: "You need to move them." Oh we have to move them now? Now we have permission? Can I get that in writing? The last time I was told something verbally, you are now telling me something different. "I'm telling you that you can move them. I'm your witness." Yes but he came out here with another witness saying that he will have someone move our mailboxes, some elderly gentleman, and that I should expect to get a letter with details in the mail. That never came. She starts talking over me "that's probably just the letter saying you can move them." Ok well we never got that either. If I came in to the post office, are you able to write something down saying that we have permission to move our mailboxes? "He gave you permission to move them. You can move them." So there's nothing more you can do? "That's it." So that's it then? "Uh-huh." Ok thank you Lori. :: click :: I'm just appalled. read more

See all

I was a little bit hesitant to go to USPS because of a bad experience at a different location. However, the worker here was super helpful and nice even though she was working all by herself. Every customer was waiting nicely because we knew she was helping. I needed to send this package internationally and she suggested multiple options, so I could choose the best, most reasonable way. I really appreciate the help. I will choose this usps next time as well!! read more

everything is fast, the employees are friendly,the queue is long, but everything is fast

I have several very positive interactions with the counter crew in mailing groups of small packages. They have been quite helpful, weighing the packages, and selling me a little extra postage when needed. And the clerks have been cheerful, despite a nonstop heavy workload during COVID times. Parking is just outside the door, free and plentiful. read more

No drop bin in the lobby for packages after hours. There's a remodel going on, hopefully that will include the ability to ship packages outside of 9-5 like all other post offices. read more

I don't even give them 1 star... terrible customer service ever at post office! First visit ever go back! Hopefully my mail goes to where supposed to be at That Asian lady at counter was very rude,I was asking her just 2 pieces of scotch tapes for my label of my box. It's ready to go box paid already just put label on it that's all. She asked me,do I have tapes in my house?? We can sell the tapes too?What kind of question is that? I was asking her nicely if just tape it the label that's all. Also I asked her I need receipt of my package she said just take a picture of the label at my phone!!!! I can't believe what she said. I'll call federal postal service office for complain about this very terrible customer service lady. She shouldn't treat customer that way, she was nice to another customer front of me!!! Can't discriminate customer 9/15/17 10:20am read more

Smallest post office EVAR. Honestly I haven't seen one smaller. I agree with others in that it is impossible to find. Especially since the address says 196th, when it's really on 36th. I know it's never fast at the post office, but there were only 3 people in line (including myself) and I was there for a good twenty minutes. The lady seemed to be going deliberately slow. Ugh! Too bad its the USPS and I really don't have another option. read more

I doubt that a negative yelp review of a post office will be meaningful in any way, but here goes. Went to this branch. No other customers, and I had a single box to mail. When I attempted to bring my box to the counter, the postal worker asked me if I was ready. I said yes, I just have to write the address. She told me to stay over across the room in case another customer came in. There was nobody there. So she wouldn't be helping me until I wrote an address which would literally take me 15 seconds. Ok. Wrote the address in 15 seconds and brought my box to the counter. She gave me two expensive options for shipping. I said I wanted book rate. She then gave me the expensive options again. No, I want the cheapest option. The box was in no way time sensitive. She asked me if the box had books in it. Yes, I said. ***Then she jammed her finger into a spot where the tape wasn't completely sealing a seam and asked me why there was fabric in the top of the box. I told her it was an old shirt shoved in there as packing material (true. not a great way to fill up space, but true). She told me when the box was repacked with only books in it, I could mail it.*** I've never had a postal worker stick their hands into boxes I was shipping, nor deny me the ability to ship. She was very terse and rude from the moment I got there. Go to the Edmonds branch. They are very helpful and polite. read more

Really nice people both handled each person with kindness and consideration despite being swamped. Was really helpful to my needs and made the process a whole lot easier helping figure out best options and not rushing us! read more

Pretty much what everyone says is true. This place is tiny, nice employees and it's hard to find. So let me tell you how to find it: Turn into the right that is into the Convention Center area. Drive to the back of the shopping plaza towards Chuck E Cheese. The Post Office is in front of the Chuck E Cheese to your right. Warning: Do not use whatever address you find for this location. That's how I got lost. Instead, just search for the Chuck E Cheese. read more

Still so much inconsistency here. Refused to mail my package... went to the other location and it wasn't a problem. Just lazy here.

This location is closed but somehow it is still listed in usps website as a location. I don't know why the USPS app and website do not reflect the latest status. I am hoping the 1 star could help to remind the webmaster or people looking for the location but don't know why and where like my wife. read more

Who Knew? I have been driving out to the Post Office off of Hwy 99 and right here in the shadow of Chuck E Cheese is this little shrinky dink version of a post office. I am not saying it's small but, word on the street is Lifetime Network has started filming "Little Post Office Big World." This "little nugget" was even hard to find on Google, it doesn't help that they point to the middle of the street on 196th, and not the business. So where is it located? Behind the Lynnwood Convention Center, at the end of the building with Jo Anne Fabrics within a plastic ball throw of Chuck E Cheese. You will find the normal post office services with less workers, and less PO boxes but what they lack in size, super employee Barbara makes up in customer service. She took the time to find the best/ cheapest way to ship my item out. I was going one direction and she saved me a bunch of money with great suggestions. It was taking a while to make up my mind (because I was still a little drunk I think) so I turned and apologized to the folks waiting. The lady behind me glared BUT, the lady behind her said "no problem she helped me the other day." now THAT! is what I am talkin about. I knew I was home when another employee peeked his head out and asked "need any help?" Barbara, looked at us in line, looked at him, looked back at us and said. "I don't know ask them." With that oh so familiar "I really don't like dumb questions" look that I admire. I am thinking on the Holidays I will avoid this place like church since at best they can have two folks helping out at one time and not a lot of room for a line, but for the rest of my postal needs? I am home my friends. read more

I would like to give the city 2 stars for not having signs point to where the post office was, they had a tiny sign on the street, if i tired to read it while driving i probly would have hit something. I'll give the post office itself for not having a big sign showing where it was. But i would like to give 5 stars to Larry B and his review with out him i wouldn't have found it. was a tiny post office, but thankfully the guy that helped me was really nice. Wish the people that were going there were smart. just an fyi to everyone who goes there, have all your stuff ready to go and you'll be in and out in no time. The Fabric store that Larry mentioned in his Review is called Handcock Fabrics so don't look for a Joann's fabric, but he was right about where it is, it's on the end of the building with the fabric store. hope you all have good luck finding it, and i hope my post can help someone like Larry's post helped me read more

I'm not going to point out my negative experiences here that I had before. And I'm not going to point out names of the people that caused those negative experiences, so why the 5 stars? Normally I go here and I get rushed to make a decision on my form of shipping. I don't know about you guys but a few dollars here and there matter to me because of the sheer volume of items that I ship out. Most of the employees here seem like they clock in, do the minimal, then clock out. They basically rush through the packages and god forbid they make mistakes, which in the past they forgot to put signature and then I would have to swipe my card again. Or they would seem like it's a hassle to compare prices of forms of shipping. BUT, PHILLIS (Sorry if I spelled your name incorrectly), she is a CUSTOMER'S dream! She goes over all the prices with you as if SHE is shipping the package herself as a customer, she always tells you the most efficient way to ship out items. And she makes you feel very comfortable at the post office, almost as if you are a regular, even if you're not. This is lost at the post offices in the state of WA, and it's sad. I always felt like I was lowering my standards of post offices because I thought all the people like PHILLIS were gone, but LOW AND BEHOLD, I move from Bellevue to Lynnwood and I FIND THE ULTIMATE POST OFFICE CUSTOMER SERVICE LADY! PHILLIS!!!! Red hair, Glasses, and for some reason I envision her to make a really good cookie hahaha. USPS you have hired an MVE, Most Valuable Employee. Keep around for awhile please.... read more

TIP: tape your own box or bring your own tape to tape up the box. They charge you for tape if you are unlucky. Here's the story woman told me I had to pay. Then another woman came in, was helped by another gentleman and gave her free tape to use. So pissed. Seriously. What bs! read more

I spent hours and maybe even days of my life in this post office. No, I don't and didn't work there. It is just how often i need to go there to ship things. It is very seldom there is no line in this place. If you need to go there to send some very little parcel or letter and you have packaged all and just needed a stamp or labels, go there to a machine in the left side of the building and use it for buying stumps or making a label. International might not work. Some staff is friendly and some is mean and unhelpful. If this would not be because of the automatic machine to buy labels, I wouldn't go there. Small, crowdy, dirty. I would give this place 2 stars but a few nice clerks really helped me in the past. 1 is little Filipino woman and tall man and woman. read more

I am writing this while i am standing in line. How do you have 3 registers, yet only one is open. You have one lady helping a customers. I feel for her due to there is 7 people in line waiting. I got there at 3:04 pm and didn't leave until 3:20pm.... seriously?!! If i could give u no stars i would!! read more

Ugh. 2 stars for the location and the parking...that's about it. Adelfa is one of the wonderfully rude ladies behind the counter that makes up for her rudeness with blatant disrespect and horrible customer service. She also let us know that, at that location, there are no Managers, no phones, and no working computers. I am not making this stuff up. She also said there was no way to track a First Class package with the PID, printed out right on our receipt. Strange, the guy behind the counter at the other location, off of 99, printed out a detailed tracking summary for both of the packages on our receipt without us even asking. Sorry, this is more of a rant than an actual review. It isn't very helpful and certainly not very respectful. Like Adelfa. read more

This place is great. Oftentimes busy, but the staff is really helpful and patient. I come in here a few times a month to buy stamps or mail packages for my office, and everyone is friendly. They will go out of their way to help you figure out the best way to send something, which is a nice plus. read more

The asian lady with glasses who works here is very nice. She actually seems to like her job. I ship over 200 packages a week with them.

Yes, Google maps does not have this location correct and I drove 25 minutes trying to find it. They have only 1 person working the counter and I stood in line for approximately 30 minutes to get a large priority flat rate box (which you can normally just walk in and grab) only to find out they were out of the boxes. Woman at the counter wasn't outright rude, but she was unapologetic and generally unpleasant. Smelly, miserable place to work...so I suppose I don't blame her. read more

This place is horrible. The slowest post office I've ever been to- I feel like I'm in the Target lady sketch from SNL. (not) approved!

Everytime I go to this office no one is helpful, and I never get greeted. Not to mention, whenever I call it rings several times and they answer without saying anything and automatically put me on hold? What kind of customer service is that?? read more

Hidden in the back of a mall with bad signage, this limited hour post office mini-service is often mistaken for the other Lynnwood post office. So when you call to see if they are open you can end up arriving at a perfectly normal time for them to be open and they are not. Very disappointing. read more

Why would anyone use USPS? I stood in line for 25 minutes. Either FedEx or UPS is a better choice. Nearly no lines whatsoever. No wonder USPS is in distress as an organization. read more
