The worst post office ever. They say they close at 5pm and somehow they close the doors at 4pm. It’s ridiculous.

I've been here three times trying to get my child's passport application processed. 2 times by confirmed appointment and once as a walk in. The person who processes the passports is never there and I'm told to just walk in on another day. I went through this post office for passports for years and never had a problem until now. I've wasted a lot of time and money so I'm going to try a different location.

I made an appointment with the USPS on Roosevelt Island to get a passport for my 7-month-old baby today. When I arrived at the Roosevelt Island post office at the scheduled time, I was told that I couldn't get in because the passport processing staff was off. I was very frustrated. I didn't receive any notification of cancellation, which was very wrong. I don't understand why you didn't cancel my reservation and waste our time.😤
