    Lady at the front desk was too busy on a personal call to help me. She refused to assist with printing my shipping label for me & refused to be helpful through the process. She was mean & not knowledgeable at all.

    The service at the post office today was really bad. Taking the photo is actually very simple — she could have just told my child not to purse his lips or close his eyes. She should’ve checked the photo before printing it. Kids don’t understand these things, and she was not nice at all. She even threatened to charge an extra $15 if he didn’t cooperate, which was unnecessary. I had confirmed beforehand that we could take the photo and apply for the passport at the same appointment, but when we arrived, she said we needed another separate appointment. If that wasn’t possible, she should’ve told me clearly from the beginning,waste my time . It felt dishonest. Bad experience here.

    This is probably the worst post office in the United States . The female staff (From the yelp reviews, I know her name is Stephany ) treated the customers so bad .She is MEAN and RUDE . She enjoys lecturing the customers for passport applications and yelling at the customers for packages picking up. Threatened to send their packages back to the senders . Please remember that the customers are local residents and homeowners . There is no mail delivery in that community for years . The only way to get their US post packages is through the post office box . She questioned them who own the packages and who lives in the same household . This is ridiculous. The customers have the P.O. Box keys , they own the their packages .

    I have a good experience with the staff for passport. I came after lunch to try my luck with walk in without appt and the staff was able to accommodate me since there was a last minute cancellation . Easy breezy once you have all the doc ready. I do have online appt at this location on different date and they asked me to cancel immediately so others can book it.
