Thanks for cancelling ALL passport application appointments WITHOUT NOTIFYING ANYONE. This vital service and should be handled by someone else, since it's clear no one in our local USPS office cares. I guess we roll the dice and try another office.

Passport appt was cancelled without notice. I understand things happen which is why I agreed to text notifications, thinking I would be notified of any changes. NOPE. The only notification I got said my appt was confirmed. It was not an easy appt to schedule but we were there on time. Early actually. Extremely annoying.

I called the 800 number since they gave me no other number to call for the Cox Avenue post office. It doesn’t work. First it gives me a weather report then it gives me all these numbers. I can push to get this or that service and every time I push one it says I can’t hear you! So I go over the whole thing again! I can’t hear you this is ridiculous. There’s no direct number only an 800 number and there’s nobody ever gonna answer that because they can’t hear you. Even if you hit the number they ask you to hit like number two for Mail they still can’t hear you of course they can’t. You didn’t say anything you push the button like they asked. So if anyone ever gets this, the ZIP Code is 28803 and we haven’t gotten mail in days. May I ask why?

went to get my passport and was there right at 8am, only to find there’s a sign on the door saying “no certified staff member on staff” all appointments and walk-ins are cancelled. Total crap when I specifically made everything line up to be able to be here at 8am. It gave me other locations to go to that are all 45+ minutes away. Do better.

So, I filled out my passport application, met with their passport agent at this post office - and paid all of the necessary fees. One month later, I get a letter from the national passport center that says that the passport acceptance agent sent in my form, photo & docs without identifying the AVL facility nor did he sign the form!
