- HMHany MassoudDec 8, 20255.0This past week my passport got lost in the mail.. sort of.. it didn't arrive on time. A staff member, by the name of Sitarah Clark, at the Cambridge Central Square location was without a doubt so giving, kind, helpful, and worked tirelessly to find my package and to keep me informed on its status. I honestly don't know if I ever had better customer service in my life. Incredible experience, that made it easy to accept the circumstance, and to be mindful on what matters most in this crazy world. Like great human relationships!

This is the second time I've had to put an investigation on my mail cuz I have not received it... the first investigation didn't do anything I don't even know where the mail is still to this day ... to this day again no one has actually called me back up to see where my mail is I've called them several times and they still don't know...
