This location is super tiny. The customer side of counter area is maybe 20 × 10 SQ ft. The size of a trailer really and off the beaten path in Accokeek - which is why I come here occasionally... When the larger post offices are crowded you can get in and out despite the limited parking inside this tiny lot that can only hold about eight cars. Sometimes you have to ring the bell when you come inside because nobody's at the counter. Very small town Mayberry RFD-ish. You halfway expect Andy or Barney to pull up at some point. I was majorly annoyed yesterday when I went to drop a package off. It had a prepaid label so all I needed to do was hand it to the clerk and get my receipt. After she received the package she then informed me that, "we no longer give receipts", which puzzled me so I asked her to repeat it and then asked why. She didn't know why nor did she know if there were other post offices that had adopted this policy - and didn't seem to care one way or the other. Are they cutting back on paper now too?? Given all the drama that Louis DeJoy has created since he took over the post office it wouldn't surprise me, and I would be foolish to hand them a package - for them to potentially lose or misplace - and I don't have a receipt??? That's like handing them a green light for shenanigans and the deniability to go along with whatever happens next. I requested my package back from her and took it to the Fort Washington location a few miles up the road where they seemed [equally] puzzled as I as to why she would have made such a statement - since they took my package and handed me a receipt. This Mayberry RFD location is weird so I'll be avoiding it going forward. read more

I just went here for the first time and was bowled over by how rude the person at the desk was. She advised that I used a plastic envelope, and I asked her if I could borrow a permanent pen. She gave me a pen that turned out not to be permanent. It smeared. She shrugged and wouldn't give me another pen. And then she charged me for the ruined envelope. The entire time, she was incredibly rude and impassive. Oh--also she refused to let me mail a book bulk because there was a one-sentence note in it. I've been to some bad post offices. This one wins. I'll drive further to go to a post office that isn't straight up mean to people. read more

Always losing our mail, and still send us the previous owners mail which makes no sense because they did a change of address. They take photos of our mail and then it just doesn't show up in the mailbox....My VA DPOR license was lost and so was my boyfriends new credit card!! read more

Accokeek Post Office is a small, quaint building located in Prince Georges County, Maryland. I can not speak on its service. The day I went, I was informed the computer system was down and no services were available. The facility itself was clean and the postal worker was professional. read more

Why is the Accokeek post office so bad ? They may be understaffed or worked hard during this season, but so is everyone. I have gotten used to not getting my mail, or getting someone else's mail (that happens a lot). I have stopped asking to hold my mail when I'm on vacation....they don't. My latest thing is that I have two packages coming from the same shipper on the same day....according to tracking info...but one gets delivered and the other is being held at the post office...at the request of the customer ?.....HUH. No one asked me anything. I guess if i don't get any mail now, at least I will know that someone read this. The service reps are very nice. There must be issues elsewhere. read more
