- KLKeli Gus (LelioKelio)Aug 15, 20255.0Poovi was very helpful and knowledgeable when we went and applied for our passports.
- GNGrace NelsonMay 2, 20245.0Very good service, clean, easy to access, and quick.
- SWSofia WilliamsMar 9, 20212.0Staff is unhelpful and sometimes rude. I needed to ship a package internationally, and I asked if they’d help me look over the documents and label to make sure I hadn’t missed anything, and they just gave me a weird look, took the package, said, “ok, thanks,” and turned around before I could ask any further questions. Here’s hoping the $80 shipping isn’t for nothing!
