- SFShelagh FitzgeraldAug 15, 20251.0Employees are very nice however I can’t believe it’s 2025 and I had to leave and sit in rush hour Boston traffic to go home and print a physical return label because their system couldn’t scan a QR/label and they “don’t have a printer.”
- TDtrescghh dfryhhdJul 19, 20251.0They never deliver my packages I always have to go pick it up and even when I have to pick it up they still give me a problem. They don’t pick up the phone ever! ….Do they even deliver anyone’s mail?
- NNNopeJun 5, 20251.0Two women at front are extremely rude and unprofessional. Went for passport photo & was turned away because they claim it was break time, then tossed my paperwork across desk it lands on floor. Instead of apologizing she says u can leave then smirks. That let me know it was done purposely. I Will be reporting them immediately , no one should have to be treated this way. Horrible experience I ever witnessed in my adult life
