- MMMariama MamaneDec 17, 20251.0The worst post office ever. They say they close at 5pm and somehow they close the doors at 4pm. It’s ridiculous.
- DPDenise PsoinosDec 10, 20251.0I'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.
- MAMohammed AliSep 29, 20251.0The service is very bad and the staff's behavior is the worst.
- JYJared YuSep 26, 20251.0I 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.😤
