Come when you can spend a day. Bring things to entertain yourself while in line.

So many times you come in and there's a line to the door with one person working the desk. They're always great, just terribly understaffed

Extremely inefficient. You MUST allow yourself at least 30 minutes to ship anything here or even purchase stamps. Super frustrating but at the end of the day it is what it is....I've only been here twice but it is obvious to me why they have horrible ratings both thumbs down for me!

Completely inept and in competent. Had an appointment to get passport completed with the shield Street post office. When we arrived, we were told our appointment has been moved to the Bishops corner post office. After waiting in line for 20 minutes at the Bishops corner post office, we were informed that they would not honor our appointment. Even though there was someone available to complete our passport, they still would not honor the appointment. Completely unprofessional and poorly managed. I would stay away from this branch.
