US Post Office

For years, my credit card has read «check ID» on the back and for hundreds of merchants, this has been A-​ok.
Upon checking out at this location, I handed the worker my card along with my license; however, she refused to accept it because it did not have my signature. I kindly reminded her she was holding my license and to verify my identity but apparently my photo ID is not a reputable way to verify my identity while a random signature that could have been forged by Joe Shmoe is. Who knew!
Being the forward thinker I am, I said, ok then, could I borrow a Sharpie? She handed one over, I scribbled chicken scratch across the tiny vacant corner, which was not even big enough for the first two letters of my first name, but apparently this confirmed to her that I was, in fact, the credit card’s owner.

We recently purchased a home which makes this Hillsboro post office location our office. Our experience in the last year has been horrible. My packages shipped with two day shipping are frequently delivered days late. Tracking shows it arriving in Portland and transferring to Hillsboro and there it sits. And no update to the online information! Why am I paying for 2 day delivery if it’s not going to be delivered in two days?
Another situation required a re-​delivery. I requested a 2^nd attempt and cleared my calendar to be home to accept it. Four days and counting and they still haven’t delivered or even processed the request for re-​delivery. Tracking shows customer request. No other information.
And finally tonight I needed to ship out a package after hours. Not a single envelope or box or label available. Not a ONE. The table was left empty and who knows when it was last restocked.
UPS and FedEx are taking business from usps. There is a reason!

This place is a J-​O-​K-​E! I have been calling continually for two days now and it does nothing but ring a million times before it goes to a fax tone. Given I am not local and would need to take a plane to come in just to talk to someone is dumb. How is this an okay way to run a business? My brain is killing me while I try to rack my head around the stupidity of this location and their inability of running a business. The people working there must be some intelligent people *sigh*

I actually think this is the best PO around here. Employees at this office are much nicer than employees at both Aloha and Beaveton PO. I usually print my postage at home, so I can’t comment on how long (or short) the line is, but employees here never showed attitude when I drop the packages at their table. Try that at other two offices and you will be barked at (even when the drop off box is locked and you have no choice, but leaving them on their table!)

this was the worst post office experience in years. My co-​worker actually walked across the street, applied for his passport, and came back before I reached the front of the line.
To the off duty postal worker who was talking to the workers. stop slowing down the line!

I like this post office because it’s convinient. It’s not too far from where I work and there’s plenty of parking space as well. I usually go there before lunch time. But there’s always a line there, so better get some comfortable shoes and do alot of Facebook with your phone.
