- LKLisa KennedyAug 11, 20251.0We are not happy with our mail service.
- VPVick PatelJun 10, 20255.0Had a great experience at the USPS in Metropolis! I needed to get a passport and was pleasantly surprised to find out no appointment was needed. The service was fast, smooth, and the staff was super friendly and helpful throughout the process. Highly recommend this location if you’re looking to get your passport done without the hassle! 👏📬💼
