Sent ab express priority international letter to Colombia so my friend could return to the US and these clowns still have not managed to deliver the letter 3 weeks later. And they say its not lost, that I have to wait 60 days with my friend stranded in Colombia. Oh yeah and they charged us 80 bucks for this lack of service. Lmao. That's what happens when you go to USPS instead of DHL. Oh yeah and the customer service clowns will call me and waste my time saying they have no new info. Why on earth call then? Why did I once have to call you back 14 times cos you left a missed call and none of the 14 attempts were able to confirm what the missed call was about. Then magically a week later I get another one of your clown calls, and somehow they knew exactly what the missed call was about. You know what the missed call was about? It was to tell me they had no new information.
I kid you not, USPS was made to push your mental health to the limit.

I went for my passport appointment yesterday and Stewart was terrific. He explained everything very clearly and in a helpful way. He took a great photo of me even though I am not photogenic at all. The other staff seemed pleasant and the office is very clean and roomy. They have a great selection of cards and little gift-related accessories in case you need them. 5 star experience!

I was there on a Saturday morning and there was no line at all.
The worker was very helpful and kind, since I was only in the States for vacation and wanted to ship a package there but didn‘t know the whole process.
I was afraid because of all the negative comments but had quite the opposite experience :-)
Thanks!
