I had a wonderful experience applying for my passport here. This was the only place in the Charlotte area that had any appointments available. It was my first time ever applying for a passport and I was nervous, but Tina was so kind and helpful. She was very efficient and thorough in handling the paperwork required. Thank you so much for the excellent experience!

I sent a package out through this office and they claimed I never dropped it off. No tracking, customer upset and wanting money back. This has happened 3 times and enough is enough

Utterly RIDICULOUS how long it takes to have stuff delivered.
It's already a shame that they've taken away 2 day shipping and the only option now is overnight (112.00!!! 👀) or 3 day and there's no guarantee for 3 says-Could be FOUR so forget sending anything perishable to your loved ones.
My frozen cake I was sending to my children got to this facility @11:56 am today (mind you I already had to do 3 day shipping smh!)
And @ 5 pm!!! It STILL hasn't arrived. I will definitely be using the $100 insurance if anything is spoiled upon delivery!

If you are doing anything with the post office priority mail that is guaranteed by a certain day the post office is a choke. They lost my package and told me good luck trying to find it.
