You should book a passport appointment and just wait the 2 months. They advertise "walk ins" and a 3 hour window but will only take 2 people as the employees also use this as their break and lunch period. They should advertise that as well, but don't. In an age where everyone is nervous about being able to prove citizenship, you'd think the government agencies at least would be minimally effective...but it's laughable. read more

I have never had a problem with receiving mail/packages until I moved to Covington. My packages are constantly getting miss delivered. I don't think this center cares at all. Anytime wherever I order from gives me to option to choose what kind of shipping I would like I choose anything else besides usps even when it's $20 or more to ship with other delivery services because I'm afraid I will not receive my items. read more

Why would you take passport appointments during your ONE day of walk-in services? Website says each person should take 15 minutes.... Each person is about 30-45 minutes. I got here at 9:45 (walk-ins start at 10) and stood in line until the very end. Workers were literally just standing there staring at the line not calling anyone then would walk into the back. A guy who I assume is the manager, came out, looked around and then went into the back. Absolutely insane service. I would never send someone I deeply hated here. Stood in line for 3 hours just to not be seen. read more

absolutely phenomanal customer service by one of your carriers Andrea she goes above and beyond every day to make sure my mail is on time and in order shes very friendly and courteous to everyone in our neighborhood its refreshing having a carrier that actually cares more about us customers then the money shes making!! you guys need 10 more of her.. read more

Terrible customer service. They also never answer their phone. Ethan will do anything to avoid helping out customers especially those with packages that are insured. read more

I do a post card exchange and need 200.00 or more a month in stamps. I am treated so rude, they won't let me choose, and say there won't be enough for anyone else. I have to go to the Maple Valley PO- where I am treated with respect. read more

We went in to get my daughter a passport. The staff was very friendly and helpful with the forms. I would highly recommend using this post office :) read more

well i went there one time it was weekend (saturday)i didnt know they were closed it was my fault i should've check first... i put 1 star because reading all this complaints and they haven't done anything to fix or solve it just going and going it's NOT THE POST OFFICE its the people who work there thats should be disciplined or get rid of.. sometimes at a work place its not always the place its the people who work there and i feel bad to some that is really doing there job and those who are lazy and dont care about anything at work... like the one i read about there medicine that was place order. it doesnt matter if they dont wanna leave home they ask to be delivered they order it online and it should be delivered they paid for it. all i'm saying is dont let all this complain goes to all of you good worker in that place falls for those lazy ones and have this place get a bad reviews because of them read more

I called their phone number a dozen times, and no one answers, and it doesn't go to voice mail. It says that someone will answer, but after many rings, it goes to a busy signal. This is the Covington, WA post office. read more

1: Placed an online order for package pickup. No one comes. Place another order. No one comes. I go to drop off the package on-site and they're closed. 2: Get a notification that an attempt was made to deliver my husband's meds. We have a Nest camera and NO ONE actually attempted anything at that time, and we were home. Same thing occurred for a certified letter. This has happened multiple times. We work from home and have dogs - no way would we have missed a knock on the door. 3: We've called and placed complaints and were told that the meds would be delivered. They were not. So one more day without meds and had to go during work hours and wait in line. I get it. Post pandemic service is off. But this is a government agency and I've never experienced anything like this. Just a frustrating situation all around. read more

I have been here three times and each time I have received kind, patient, and efficient service. I appreciate that I have never waited in line more than 5 minutes. read more

I complained about this post office mail delivery in the past. I now change my mind. We have a rural mail carrier on 156th se that is exceptional. She is polite, efficient, and goes beyond to do a good job. Hopefully the post office managers recogize it an reward her. I just hope she remains our carrier. read more

worst usps ever been to. charging me to take up my box and giving me attitude, this is why i'm also not fond of indian women im a small business so i use usps services often, never had a problem with borrowing some tape. especially when 3 customers ahead were offered tape no charge. read more

My mail delivery was just switched from Maple Valley po to Covington post office. I thought my mail delivery was mediocre through my past delivery location, but Covington post office is even worse. My last delivery contained sensitive electronics. My neighbor found the package near his gate in the rain and in a mud puddle. I was hoping to complain to the post master of Covington, but that is nearly impossible. No accountability and very poor service. read more

Good luck getting your mail. They only bring mine every few days. I signed up for "informed delivery" because i felt like i wasn't getting all my mail- i was right. My informed delivery will show 4-10 mail pieces, they'll come by and drop off 1 or 2, or none at all. I'll report the other ones as missing (like my IRS refund check for example)... never hear back about it. I'm not sure where the rest of my mail ends up. I dread ever having to go into that post office because i dont even know where they found the people that work there. Customer service is a 0/10. Its incredibly frustrating. read more

It's hard to imagine a post office being worse that this one. Constantly mis-delivering our mail & packages no matter how many notes I leave, phone calls I make, or multiple visits to speak to the office manager. This has been going on since before Covid - shockingly enough. Thankfully, I have honest neighbors who will bring us our mail & packages, and we do the same, but the ridiculousness of this has long since passed and we've just resolved at this point to use them as little as possible if we have control over it. Bills have all been switched over to paperless and when there's an option, we pay more for shipping so it's a different carrier. The goal is to basically I my have junk mail coming to our mailbox. They're basically making their jobs obsolete due to how inept they've chosen to perform what used to be an honorable job. read more

Never in my life have I experienced such terrible customer service in a post office! The delivery driver puts mail in the wrong box and you'd be lucky if you ever see it. He is rude and made an extremely feeble attempt to try to find my mail. One of the pieces was a check I had been waiting on. I went to the post office to complain and the so called "supervisor" TRIED to tell me that "informed delivery doesn't mean it will be delivered that day". That's a load of garbage, because the mail that showed up on the "informed delivery" site this morning, was delivered a few hours later. I ALWAYS get my mail the SAME DAY that it shows up on the "informed delivery" website. She also tried to tell me that the driver doesn't have the time to look for my mail that HE didn't deliver. Well, that's not my problem! Do your freakin job right the first time! Oh, and don't count on them to deliver packages. That's another bs story in itself. This is a constant problem! These people are extremely incompetent, rude and unprofessional. They need to be replaced with people who know what they're doing. I will be using my girlfriend's address for packages and other important mail from now on. I'll also look for another post office for mailing. read more

I have not received my overnight mail for 3 days Covington post office has the worst customer service response. No word to say how bad they are!!! read more

We have not received our mail for 3 days Last week it was 2 days. Is Covington postal working ? Nobody in our residence has gotten their mail We've lived here for 38 years and never had this happen. I'm so upset due to the fact we have important Letters coming. read more

Well, it has been almost four years since my last review and, unfortunately, things are about the same. The long lines, surly service still rings true even when doing something simple as buying stamps. It has gotten so bad I usually go to the small office in Midway just to avoid coming into this building. Yes, it is that bad. read more

Go to another USPS! Your package will have a better chance of making it to its destination if you just threw it on the side of the freeway. The hours at this location have become more and more limited even though the customer service line is NEVER less than 7 people waiting. They don't answer their phone for simple questions and they aren't happy nor helpful. I really wish this wasn't one of the few places to apply for your passport. But please trust me, drive further to another USPS, to mail your letter or package. read more

I don't always have a letter/package lost, but when I do it's because I dropped it off at Covington. The building itself looks nice, but the lines are slow and most of the employees hate life and want you to know it.. They're apparently terrible at the whole thing of delivering mail, too. Even if you follow Six sigma practices, lost items are going to happen every so often, but the fact that the only lost items I've *ever* had always involve this post office? I'm quite sure that's not a coincidence. read more

We would like to thank our Sunday mail carrier for returning a wallet we dropped on the street. He saved us a lot of headache and work having to replace every item in the wallet. Thanks again and have a nice Christmas. Keep up the good work. Covington Highpointe Resident read more

The Covington Post Office does a HORRIBLE job delivering mail! I just received notification that my package was attempted but not delivered because my location was not accessible.... funny, UPS got my package here just fine the same day, and the rest of my mail was in the box!!! This is now the 5th package in two years to go missing after they have received it at their location. read more

I had a notice in the mail box, we have one of those neighborhood mail boxes down the street, the notice stated that the post office attempted to deliver a certified letter on a certain date and time and that no one authorized was available to receive the letter. Total lie! And not the first time this has happened. First off if you attempt to deliver you would leave the notice on the door.. oh wait! AND my Ring camera would see you at the time stated on the notice. At nearly the same time I was waiting for medications to be delivered from the VA (mine require a signature) the exact same thing happened. So I called and made a complaint. While on the phone I also arranged to have the certified letter delivery rescheduled. All was set, so I thought.. waited for the next two days. I did get the VA medications a day late but the certified letter delivery was again a no show. Tried to call and talk to customer service but the back log was so long I used the text option. Had to explain it all again, at least i was not texting a BOT. All around 100% the post office failed everyone. They failed the sender by not getting the letter to it's destination, they failed me multiple times and it seems there are no consequences. If it was a private company these people would have been fire 10x over! So pissed. read more

I absolutely love this post office, it's hidden away between kohl's and walmart. There is easy access into it and rarely a wait of more than 5 minutes (the Kent location can take 30 min to get through the line!). I purposefully drive to Covington because I know that I can get through the line in 1/2 the time and the service is always fantastic! read more

I bought a package and it says it was delivered to this post office and it's been 6 days and still haven't got my package (6 days it's been at the post office). It said the package was attempted but obviously not succeeded. I bought the item 10 days ago and the person i bought it from shipped it less than 48 hours. The roads are barely snowy and icy so that shouldn't be the reason i'm not getting my package... unless the drivers and scared of delivering in the snowy conditions. I'm about to drive there myself and get the package but i'm sure they won't let me pick it up. I just want my darn package! read more

Covington branch has dropped off my packages in different addresses for the 3rd time! The last one was not received until now, gladly, the 1st two packages were received and retrieved! They won't take responsibility as their Mail delivery person would note that the package was delivered! They couldn't trace where they dropped off the package neither until somebody is honest enough to return the package to the Post Office! Talking the USPS Manager to fix these ongoing issues does not help neither! So, we loose our package and our money! read more

Totally unreliable and incompetent. Constantly getting other peoples mail, Not getting mail, packages left out on street on top of mailbox, packages shown delivered "informed delivery" but not delivered, packages delivered but in undelivered status in "informed delivery", Not delivering packages when shown out for delivery and giving bogus reasons. Never have issues with Amazon, UPS, or Fedex. USPS = apprehension, frustration, disappointment. read more

I would give a zero star review if I could. It was packed and my package got stuck in a self drop off. I tried to help get it unstuck so the lady behind me would be able to put her package in and I got screamed at to "leave it ". Everyone in the post office could hear it and all I was trying to do was help. I won't be back. I will go out of my way to go to another post office read more

People who working in post office it's a big Liar. I'm always have a problem with my mail for probably the last three years and those people always lie to you about your package about your mail. Customer service Never respond read more

Went there yesterday to track down a "undeliverable" package and schedule another attempt or pick up if it was in the building. Was rudely interrupted by a different employee at a different counter about how I needed to go get in a different line to pick up my package. She would not even let me explain that I wasn't necessarily there to pick up a package, I was just there to try to figure out where it went and what happened. She then told the man that was helping me to just put the closed sign up on his window because I obviously wasn't going to listen or move and he didn't need to help me. At that point I left. To top all this off the only reason I even went in there in the first place is because I had been calling all day and nobody bothers to pick up the phone. I would give no stars if that was an option! Found out her name is LaTonya and she's a manager there. What a joke!! read more

This is probably the worst post office ever. Anything from going in and having issues to receiving (or not receiving) mail. You name it, they mess it up. Or blame you. Package says delivered? Nope. Sure isn't. Every single time. Ugh. read more

The absolute worst driver on my route. I got a locking mailbox because of mail theft and because she didn't like it she stopped delivering my mail! "It takes too long to fold it" to push it through the slot if it is larger than 5 inches wide. That is her job what else does she have to do? Then she LEFT a package that would not fit in my mailbox locking or not, near the mailbox. It was stolen. My house is across the street from all of the mailboxes. I work elsewhere so I am not able to grab my mail whenever she leaves it and can't be bothered to put it on the porch. That is because I have a big dog that barks and jumps at the window, to date he has not opened the door or gone through the window. I also have a Ring doorbell and have seen her THROW a package on my porch. After that she just stopped delivering to my door and stopped delivering mail to my mailbox. If I did my job the way she does I would have been fired. read more

Absolutely the worst post office experience. This is our local post office and we go here quite often, so when we arrived and the line was out the door, we were not surprised. The bad experience we had today was caused by the worker, Ronnie. She has never heard of customer service, appreciation, or probably the word "customer " in general. In fact, to her the people in line are probably "inconveniences." After waiting in line for approximately 20 minutes we got up to the counter, with 2 boxes and were wanting to buy stamps. We needed 1 piece of tape for the box. Ronnie told us, and I quote, "they don't give us that." I am staring at the tape roll behind her, as she says that. Instead her solution is to keep refusing about the tape, but she was willing to give us a roll of useless stickers... Then my buddy says CLEARLY that we want to pay for priority shipping had have insurance on both boxes.... She completed messed that order up and then got sour when we had to correct her. The only moment of positivity in her mannerisms was when we left the counter and she excitedly told us to have a good day. read more

I believe this postal person on answering calls should take a very serious customer service TRAININGS'! Quite rude. OMG or hire someone better who likes her job ok SHOULDNT HAVE A STAR!! Don't deserve it! read more

I put a letter in the drive through mailbox on Labor Day posted to Seattle for my son in laws birthday on September 5th. He never received it and it was not returned to me. Did someone steal it or is it just a post office error? read more

This is the worst post office in the country. We get the wrong mail delivered if the mail is delivered at all. Our neighborhood hasn't had our mail delivered for 4 days now. Tried calling and the phone rings and rings then disconnects you after 25 rings. We actually got some congresswoman involved when this happened in December and we didn't get mail delivered for 2 weeks. We were told covid and snow were the reasons they didn't deliver the mail. We had 4 inches of snow and every other post office had no problem delivering the mail. You couldn't even go to the post office to pick up your mail. They didn't allow it. In the spring when we went 5 days without mail I was told our carrier was on vacation but our mail was being delivered. Liar. We're all stay at home moms in the neighborhood so we watch for the mail to make sure mail thieves don't steal our mail. When we FINALLY got mail delivered again in both instances we never received the back mail from those missing days. No idea where it went but this place is appalling. And when you try and complain to the location or the National postmaster you just get attitude and rudeness. I wish you could select no stars for a review. This location needs a complete overhaul. read more

I was told if I thought I could do a better job I should apply for a job. Daily get other people's mail and they just don't care.

My shipping needs are done with professionalism and friendly service at the Covington Post Office. I like the fact that they have supplies on hand to purchase. My favorite thing about Covington's Post Office is: I can ship most packages ( depending on size ) using the 24 hr self-help shipping station. This is the best thing for me and my schedule. read more
