Love this post office! The workers are always helpful, despite being so busy, and most likely, overworked. Nowadays it's more important than ever to support our post offices with the admin pushing to privatize them. USPS goes to very rural areas that Amazon or other delivery businesses won't touch as it wouldn't make financial sense for them. read more

Went in here to get a refund on my mail that went to pasco, and it spent 2 weeks there in a loop, just to end up back at my door. The clerk was no help, he just looked at me and said "well what do you want me to do?" Uh maybe your job? Lol USPS count your days, what a joke read more

US Post Office - My letter that spent over 2 weeks in pasco, Washington, just to be sent back. And they call this "fulfilling the order" what a joke - Post Offices Near Me - Lynnwood, Washington

For the passport WALK IN HRS CLEARLY states in the website 11am-Noon but when you get there you cannot actually walk in you have to come at 8AM to sign up for it then come back later that is the most inconvenient thing I have ever heard. They need to make that VERY CLEAR in the website/system where people go off of. Not everyone can come the next day read more

It's a post office... temper your expectations accordingly. Yes, there are long lines and yes, the pace can be glacial, but let's be honest: it's usually the customers slowing things down, not the staff. The employees seem overworked but are doing their best to keep things moving. No one's handing out lattes or compliments, but they're not being rude either, just trying to survive the chaos like the rest of us. Pro tip: avoid coming during lunch or right after work unless you enjoy existential dread in a government lobby. Not amazing, not awful, just a solidly average post office experience. read more

They will make you wait 45 minutes in line and then when you say your vision impaired and need help filling the packet out to send it in the mail which should take one to three minutes max they say oh I need to ask for a supervisor and then they make you wait in line for 45 more minutes only to send you around to some weird door that has half a table on it Where you're forced to just hold all your documents you're trying to send instead of them just being professional and helping you at the counter, this place is the worst place. I've ever experienced trying to send a letter. They have 1.8 stars. It shouldn't even be legal to be open at 1.8 stars Absolutely horrible. I went to the post office down the street which because I'm disabled I have to ride the bus took me 45 minutes. It was a 3 to 5 minute interaction sent my certified letter no problem. This place is an absolute joke. read more

Always busy, postal workers are always helpful even when the line is literally out the door. Clean and organized. I'd recommend this location for your postal needs. Great for P.O. Boxes as well! read more

This is one of two post office locations in Lynnwood. This location has a few more services than the other branch, also?it's a much larger location. There is a self-service kiosk at this location, so you do not have to visit the counter to mail items. There are several priority and express mail stations to acquire supplies. This post office is a little understaffed, but they did a good job providing service. read more

No ADA access for disabled, no handicap parking, very steep parking spots I could not use or walk up to building, no ADA hold open on the door, I had to just go home not able to do my postal business here. Why is it a government owned building and business does not have to meet ADA standards? read more

They claim they have passport walk-in hours, but to do a "walk-in" you need to schedule it in advance or they won't accept you. This is apparently different than an "appointment" though! :P read more

I think I've said it before, these are good people here in Lynwood. They ate always happy to help and offer suggestions to make our trip worthwhile and legit. They even try to save me money. How about that? That is wonderful service! I love the staff here! read more

The best part about this post office is the easy parking! We parked right up front and made our way in for a quick visit...then stood in line for...ever. Only two employees working diligently, helping a long row of customers with no back-up or assistance on this busy morning. Other employees walked by casually, making chit-chat, drinking their beverages and ambling away seemingly without a care in the world. To us, those waiting in line, it seems that the staffing could be improved, especially at peak times (or all the time). read more

More workers needed here. Whoever's delivering my packages should probably be fired. The workers in the office are very nice people but the delivery just suck so bad. If they don't find the right address they'll just give it out to any house nearby. I'm lucky I got my other package because how nice the people that received my package and gave it to the office for me to pick it up. Now they messed up again and the office is closed so whoever has my Damm package is gonna have the urge to wanna open it. They just got free louis vittoun shoes. Fire them please read more

This place is extremely understaffed and the lines are so long! do not come on a Saturday!

would give a zero if I could, they are very unclear about passport appointments and say to "get here early" when they start the appointmenta at 11. I came in at 9:30 how is that not early. Don't go here all they do is waste your time. read more

There are 2 people working and (no joke) 17 people in line. I have been here 3 times to pick up mail and it is always the same.

Lynnwood Post Office is Terrible. Out For Delivery: 11/3/22 6:10am Redelivery Scheduled for next business day:11/3/22 1:29pm Available for Pick up: 11/4/22 11:10am What the fuck is the point of me going to pick up my package when its your job to deliver the damn thing. Where i live have parcel boxes, amazon lockers, or my front door. Nope these lazy fucks just decide on a whim they will just waste days driving around with packages in their truck so you cant get your package. Load of shit. read more

The service attitude at USPS is disappointing. The elderly Asian man assisting me behaved more like a commanding officer than offering help. Unpleasant experience. read more

USPS's site says the self serve kiosk is open and available 24/7, even on Sundays. This is not correct.

This place is absolutely horrendous. The employees are extremely rude, and they also don't follow proper covid guidelines. I would think this is something they would care about, as a government entity who should advocate for public safety, but apparently not. Additionally, I have had the worst encounters with some of the employees here, enough to make me avoid this location altogether. One older white gentleman that works here has a volatile temper. He has lashed out at me and I've seen him losing his cool and acting in very unprofessional ways with other customers as well. One day i apparently used the wrong address label on a package and he actually left his podium to continue yelling at me in the lobby about it. I didnt say one word, i was in complete and total shock and left to go to a different post office. I was very shook up by his erratic behavior. This post office also has an automatic postage machine in the lobby but it has been inoperable for over a month. This makes the lines very long and slow...several times I've been by and had lines flowing out the door and down the sidewalk. No sense of urgency whatsoever, the employees seem to be slow as snails in molasses. Hours used to be good here so that you could check your PO box in off hours or mail something at the postage kiosk, but now they close early every single day. Pointless to have a PO box here since the lobby is always locked at night and you cant access it. In summary, avoid this place at all costs. read more

US Post Office - Employees dont follow proper mask protocol - Post Offices Near Me - Lynnwood, Washington

If I could give zero stars I would. Rude staff. Horrible lines and poor work ethic that results in extremely long waits. This is the worst post office I've ever been too. What a bummer we got a box here cannot wait to leave. read more

It doesn't have air conditioning. I have to wait in line at the hot weather. I think the employees will need one too.

I would give zero stars if I could. There is always a line and clerks are ridiculously unhelpful. If you call looking for a package or any other type of help they'll say whatever you need to get you off the phone. Once you show up the person at the counter will consistently tell you something different and say I don't know who you talked to on the phone. read more

This post office has held my packages and bulk mail for three weeks now. I put a hold on my mail for two weeks while on vacation and still haven't received my packages. I opened two service requests only to find out the post office closed them without investigating. Terrible post office! Ghetto too! People may not want to hold their mail at this incompetent post office location. read more

This location is very convenient; within walking distance of my home, but wow, their customer service is sorely lacking. I came in about a week and a half ago to drop off a postage-paid package and I didn't see anyone at the side counter. They used to have people working on the side where you could just do quick errands. Unfortunately I had to stand in a ridiculously long line. There were two people working initially but then one guy finished with his customer and left, leaving this poor female employee to handle everyone in line (about 15 people). After some time the guy came back and I was able to drop off the package, but wow... Just ridiculous. Even the grocery store will open another lane when there are that many people standing in line. I doubt very much this will happen but I hope that the post office has enough sense to hire extra workers for the holidays because it's only going to get worse. read more

Angie was amazing. Best postal experience ever. I feel big changes ahead for the Lynnwood area

I've been to this post office a few times & the clerks have all been polite & knew what they were doing. The lobby needs some forms for after hours but they may not have them out there due to some sketchy apartments nearby. Be careful coming here at night as there have been people hanging out in the parking lot. Only one way in and out and it's not marked as such so pointing that out. There's a passport office here but they have a sign it's open by appointment only. read more

US Post Office - Sell cards & gift cards - Post Offices Near Me - Lynnwood, Washington

Hardly any employees and everyone is so slow. People in line are irritated. This place needs help, employees, management and so much more.

This is our local post office. Great services always. Our family love all the ladies and gentlemen that work here . They are so nice and friendly. Thank you for all your hard work to make our incoming/outgoing mails and packages arrived safe and sound . Today we specifically thanked Leslie, one of the clerk, who went above and beyond to help us out with a package delivery issues. Thank you read more

Had an interaction with Austen our mail man today and we were told that his boss informed him of our complaint and told the mail man that he could handle the situation as he pleased. We will also be reporting this. read more

I went here today to send my package. The lady who helped me was really helpful and nice. However the worker next to her yelled at the other customer. The worker didn't help the customer, he just kept yelling louder and saying yes or no. The customer was explaining what was going on and what he wanted the worker to check. but the worker was yelling at him saying "I DON'T UNDERSTAND YOUR ENGLISH!!!". I totally understood what he was asking to the worker. After the customer left, the bad worker was pretty nice to the next customer. and said something like "Every few [customers] is one like that. "I felt really uncomfortable because the old white worker was so rude and extremely loud. What a surprise, when I opened yelp to write this review, I saw a picture of the worker!!!! It's the guy with the American flag mask! read more

If it was possible to give this post office negative stars I would! Their customer service is absolutely terrible! Telling a customer that they will hold their signature required medical delivery till the following day while they're in the hospital and not doing so is unacceptable! read more

They don't answer their phones when you call. Absolutely not worth the time dealing with this branch. Trash business practice.

This is the best post office I have been to in Washington. Even after I moved out of Lynnwood, I still come here when I'm nearby. If you're genuinely pleasant and respectful with the workers here, they will be nice to you as they have been to me. They have a good selection of shipping supplies since they're a bigger P.O. The line can get long if you come in the late afternoon or on a Saturday, but it moves quickly and you will be out before you know it! I try to avoid the line by coming either slightly before lunch or in the early morning... just a tip. :) read more

Can I rate them zero stars?!?! They have lost multiple packages over the years. I will drive well out of my way to go to a different post office going forward. read more

Nobody comes into a post office expecting any kind of speed, nor a homey environment. You just hope you can get your stuff where it's going, and the stuff that's coming to you, gets to you. If they can deliver on that, they have done their job. And this place more or less does the job; they've been my neighborhood post office for 8 years and I have no complaints with getting my mail. But as the years go by and some of the more on-the-ball people behind the desk have gone on to greener pastures, the in-house service here has declined severely. They still have some nice people behind the desk, but it seems like every time I have to come in here for something the last 6-12 months, it's gotten slower and slower and slower. Yesterday I came in with about 5 people ahead of me in line. 4 working behind the counter. I got in the express line because I just had one item--a form to pick up a waiting package. This took over 20 minutes, because dude at the express counter couldn't decide whether to bark at me to stand in another line, giggle with co-workers over who got to help the lady in front of me, or finally help me, anyway, after giving me a weird, condescending explanation of why I had to wait in two lines before ending up at the place I was originally. So he did all of those things. It's not like I expect to zoom in and out of a post office. But the delays don't always feel like people trying to dig their way out of a huge workload as fast as they can. There are times when it seems like the extra delays are more a by-product of the small-minded bureaucrats trying to exert some measure of control over their environment. read more

Have to agree with the other reviewer...this place is always backed up. I live in a new development, so I have to come here constantly to get my mail till they get things squared away. Apparantly towns can have long drawn out battles with the post office on where to put their mailboxes...still going on since December. There's also this old Asian man that works the express line who ALWAYS talks down to you. He does it to me and everyone I see him interact with. I dread getting pulled into his line because simple requests are always pulling teeth with him. The number of rolled eyes I see after dealing with his attitude is through the roof. read more

US Post Office - Pretty typical experience. Insane lines with one person working the desk at the busiest times of day. - Post Offices Near Me - Lynnwood, Washington

I stopped here today to mail a package on the way home from the store. I waited so long that now I have to go back to the store and buy more milk because it spoiled. This place is ridiculous. Peak hour, and there is only one person at the counter. The line was out the door, and she still didn't call for more help. It would be almost acceptable if she at least offered an apology for the wait, but instead acted like I should be the one apologizing for taking up her time. If you have to come here, don't eat first. Call and order a pizza and have it delivered to you while you wait in line. read more

US Post Office - Postal worker in action - Post Offices Near Me - Lynnwood, Washington

Went in to mail a package and when she was grabbing the box the piece of tape came off and wouldn't re stick so instead of putting another piece on for me they tried charging me for the piece of tape and said tape isn't free. VERY ridiculous. The person next to me, the post office had lost his package and basically telling him there's nothing they can do?? Horrible post office branch read more

It's not their fault, what can they do? Do the clerks choose how many clerks work the counter? No, that's ludicrous. Why don't they ask for help? Well, because they know there is none to be had. You do understand you're all on camera, right? You do understand that the 'boss' is staring at you while you stew in line and take out your anger on the one helping you, right? Not that managements cares, the point is, they know how many people are in line and they're (management) doing nothing about it, all while you take your anger out on the clerks. If you want to complain about wait times, complain to management, but realize nothing will change and management will take out your anger on the employee who was only trying to help you. Sad how so many here on yelp take out their anger (at what is a management issue) on the staff who have no power to change staffing levels, when their breaks are and how slow or fast customers take and computer programs work. Postal workers work in a boot camp like atmosphere. Everything they do is regimented and timed. If it's their break and they don't take it they can be fired, but why should you care, you want your package mailed and anyway, the world does revolve around you. Having said that. The main problem with the Lynnwood post office, the reason everyone is cranky and ridiculously busy is because, SHOCK, it's 10 sizes too small for Lynnwood. When was this postage stamp built? 1955? Earlier? Probably. Lynnwood is magnitudes larger now and they deserve a post office that fits the community needs. This place is a wee little bad joke on a monumental scale. I live in Northcreek, just south of Mill Creek, a community 10 times smaller than Lynnwood and our post office is 3 times as large. I work in Lynnwood, in fact, I used to work right around the corner from this little building from hell and during Christmas... once, I made the nightmarish mistake of going there to mail my packages. OH. MY. GAWD. It was like a scene from the twilight zone. Thirty, maybe forty people in line, three workers and 37,000 (only a slight exaggeration!) packages to mail. It took forever, I had to extend my lunch. It was my last foray into that little building of doom. What can a person do? Go to UPS or FedEx, I guess. read more

I have utilized the USPS branch at 6817 208th St SW, Lynnwood many times. Depending upon the time of day, there can be a long wait or almost no wait. No matter how long the wait, I have consistently found the staff at this branch to be helpful. They answer my questions and if I have additional forms to fill out, the provide them and ask me to stand to the side and let them know when I have them completed so that they can help me after their next customer. Lately I have had a lot of mailing due to probate, so I also use the branches near Alderwood and near the Boeing freeway and consistently feel that the 208th branch provides good service. read more
