Today I found out I can skip the line and just use the self kiosk, just the option to print from QR code was tucked away under 'label broker'. This self-kiosk seems to have more functionality now (can order stamps too), which is great to see. Wish there were more of them. Pros: +a few self kiosks that can print a label from a QR code (label broker option) +organized +ample packing supplies +staff tried to periodically see if people can just use the self kiosks vs waiting in line +plenty of parking -PO boxes Cons: -staff can be a bit apathetic but that's kinda typical USPS -could have more staff working at the counter to speed things us -parking is a bit cramped -self service kiosk scanner wasn't working when I was there

The Merrifield Post Office, using post office logic, removed all but one small drop box in the…read moredrive-thru lane. And without adding pickup times, this remaining box rapidly fills up. This morning, I stopped to mail four items, and found that the box was stuffed full. Not wanting to leave my items exposed to whatever, I tried retrieving them. Along with them came half a dozen of other people's mail items. Being a good citizen, I did the post office's work. Entering through the only operating door (for at least the last week), I dropped the entire batch inside. This would be a classic example of Zohran Mandami's definition of bureaucratic complacency on the part of the post office. The Merrifield Post Office is beyond disreputable and dysfunctional. My only reason for using it is convenience, but even that is becoming shaky.

The location was clean and orderly, but not well stocked. There were no priority mail labels.

The manager came out to assist and bring the line down. I was not offered stamps or other items when i checked out, but the clerk was friendly and efficient.

I think a lot of that's decreased here, because there are enough employees, and they work hard to keep lines at bay. Certainly can't say that for all USPS. Plus there's actual parking spots here, which most would consider helpful. The building they use is relatively clean. It's definitely not modern, but the USPS isn't known for this attribute. Hours are pretty good, and for those of you whom forget, stamps are for sale here. Also they have lots of envelopes and shipping containers to buy. I don't mind going to this one. That's an endorsement.

I've been using this USPS for several months and have consistently noticed her curt and short demeanor with customers. Interestingly, the store closes for over an hour in the middle of the day for her lunch break. You'd think she might take that time to recharge and come back with a better attitude, but unfortunately, that's not the case. The only safe time to visit this location is on Saturdays when the other employee is working & they're truly phenomenal!

There used to be two blue mailing boxes outside, but they removed one so now there's only one and it fills up often. Sadly, they lock the doors now after hours to keep homeless folks from entering at all hours, so if you have a PO Box or if you're looking to use the self service machine that convenience is long gone, and you can only access them during normal business hours. Thankfully, I have a home! Think about that one...!

When I tried to enter, she stopped me in a very aggressive and unfriendly manner. I explained that I didn't realize they were closing at 5:00 PM, but she responded rudely that they were closed. It was around 4:55 PM. I understand that businesses have closing times, but there is no reason to treat customers so aggressively. She could have explained the situation politely instead of making me feel unwelcome. The way I was treated was unnecessary and left me with a very bad impression of this place.

As he keep saying "I know I already accepted the package, but I still want to rejected" the other teller who is hilarious asked the gentlemen if there purse match any of his outfits. The gentleman clueless about the joke, replied back: "not really" We are all dying laughing. He still want to return the "fake purse" for free Finally I advised him to find the buyer on EBay and ask her for a refund so he could send it back to her. Gentleman replied: that's a great idea!

I live in Bethesda and usually go to…read morethe post office there, but I work in Tysons and needed to get my passport application submitted. USPS has 2 locations in McLean; this location on Spring Hill Road is the only one that does passports. Scheduling an appointment online was quick and easy; there were plenty of timeslots available. I arrived at the post office about 7 minutes before my appointment. Almost immediately upon entering, a very polite staff member asked me if I was coming in for a passport. After I told him I was and gave him my appointment time, he had me stand off to the side while he finished helping the customer that he was currently helping. Afterwards, he immediately started to process my passport application. I had read the instructions and filled everything out before, so it was a very painless process. He took photocopies of my drivers license and birth certificate. I already had passport photos taken somewhere else so we didn't need to worry about that. All in all, the process took 5-10 minutes. I have waited MUCH longer at other USPS locations for passport services so it was great to be in and out so fast. Another perk of this location: plentiful free parking. Definitely can't get that in downtown Bethesda.
