I am waiting on the passport that has been sent priority mail. It was sent Wednesday from Tucson, Arizona and arrived in Tampa yesterday Thursday. Their maps clearly showed that is two day delivery time. The passport is still sitting in Tampa. I called The USPS main number and they were unable to provide anything when I spoke to a supervisor they did give me a number for the local post office, which I called and no one picked up or was able to leave a message. Now when I call back the past usps number it doesn’t give me any other options other than to say where my package is. My complaint is that was supposed to be delivered in two days and from what their site says(their map) and what the representative said was it will be delivered on Monday is 4 Eligible days for priority mail, five days total. The passport has sat in Tampa for a day and a half. I can’t see why they would hold onto the package Thursday, Friday and Saturday instead of just delivering it and nobody can give me an answer.

Made an appointment for my passport, showed up, and everything was closed. No notice posted, no email cancellation, just closed and locked doors.

No cell service. No WiFi. So, how are you to access the USPS.com items that you’ve prepackaged? Such a scam. In short, it cannot be done and was forced to pay 15 extra dollars. Terrible. Staff was polite, but ineffective.

Ms. Anita at the passport office was an absolute pleasure. As long as you have your documents in order prior to arriving to the office you should be in and out within 10 minutes. She made it stress free for me as I’m going on a work trip out of the country at the end of January. I was very anxious to get all of this done but it was a breeze. 5 stars! And I would recommend setting an appointment as they don’t typically take walk ins. Good luck and safe travels to those going out of the country!
