Regardless of line length, I always find the staff to be helpful, patient, and courteous. Today, I showed up with a rather large problem and it turned out to be my own fault. I was treated with grace and civility, and was offered solutions. Everybody can have a bad day, but most of the time my experiences at the Merrifield Post Office have been positive.

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. Myself and two other patrons looked for labels and resigned ourselves to write directly on the priority envelope. The line was long, but moved quickly. 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.

The staff here is quite pleasant. It can be fairly busy, yet the key is midday on weekdays. This will spare you long lines and other inconveniences. I like that there is plenty of parking. Some are difficult, but this is one you'll find easy access. They have post boxes for rent too. It's convenient to where I'm often at. That's my main reason for going to this one. If you're in the area it's open for business.

I thought the first time I encountered her she was having a bad day, but little did I know that she was just having a bad life. Let's just keep it nice, she's not a very nice person and should really consider a job change considering how many people she's harassed. The only reason I'm giving this place a three is because the other employees here (Ann and another young woman I wish I got her name) makes up for all the attitude that Ethel gives out.

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...!

I'm pleased that they are usually the least expensive. Here the staff is friendly and efficient. They have professional men and women. Lines do exist sometimes, but that's any post office.

The system is very secure and there are representative signatures for every step along the way. At all points high cost items are supposed to be within a safe unless being transferred to a different safe. I dropped off the package and it was not put into the safe. I asked if they were going to put it into the safe and he said yeah, but it was sitting on the counter. It was clear there was a high priced item inside because I had insured it for $36,000. I left the post office but felt so uncomfortable that I went back a few minutes later, and they couldn't find the package. They eventually found it, it had fallen on the floor, but it had not been put immediately into the safe as it was supposed to. everything worked out OK but I mean, are you kidding me?
