• I am not at all happy with this move. The new location is very inconvenient. Even worse, they have not added new drop boxes in other areas. The drop box in the parking lot of the QFC by Bella Bottega is regularly full to overflowing — a horrible security risk — even though they pick up mail daily there. I called the post office and confirmed this with the manager. There is so much demand for a drive-up drop box in an actual convenient location that people are overstuffing the very few available. I’ve started a Facebook campaign to add more drive-up boxes, but a move back to downtown Redmond would be even better.
