Customers report inconsistent hours, lunchtime closures and rude staff. There are concerns over how to rectify these problems and who to speak with about them.The post office — a beautiful building that’s a staple of Georgetown’s retail district — has operated continuously since 1858. That being said, many have complained about the limited access to its services. The posted hours are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekdays and 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday; the office is closed on Sunday. Customers report arriving between 2 and 3 p.m. on a weekday and being greeted with a sign saying that the staff is “out to lunch.” One Google review asserts that the writer has encountered the staff on a lunch break at various times between 1 and 4 p.m.In a letter to The Georgetowner, a customer said that the inconsistent hours have affected her ability to mail packages. “Today was the eleventh time in the last six weeks that I’ve taken my lunch hour to mail packages, and for the eleventh time in six weeks the door was locked. The two women who work there insist on closing the facility from 12 noon until 1:15 or so,” she wrote. Reports and photographs have documented customers leaving packages outside due to the unexpected closures. “The sign outside states the hours are from Monday to Saturday, NOT closing at lunchtime,” the customer continued. The Georgetowner has received seven similar complaints.Beginning in January of 2025, the space has been offered for sale. EastBanc purchased the building from the U.S. Postal Service in 2013 for $1.9 million. Office space designed by CORE architecture + design for EastBanc affiliate EastBanc Technologies was added above the post office.In a time of high stress for USPS, the Georgetown post office’s inconsistent service has been perplexing and concerning to the community. At press time, The Georgetowner had not received a reply to its request for a comment from D.C.’s executive postmaster or USPS. </div></body>
