- DDDigs DanerMar 24, 20254.0Got fingerprints here, process took a total of 25 minutes including wait time (went around noon on a weekday). Be sure to bring your confirmation email with barcode printed, total cost is $50. Staff is gruff but no more than the average USPS staff in NYC
- LBLucas BattistellaMay 30, 20241.0HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE. Staff at this location really don't want to help the customer.
- ADAnthony DApr 11, 20241.0Staff is slow. Clerk #33 an older lady is very rude and lies about what the post will do. Says they can't take pre-paid mail if it's not the same date. Lie! Says she don't care if other clerks take it, she won't.
- SHSusan HoffmannJan 16, 20241.0Seriously, I don't think I've been to a less effective or efficient business ever!! It's been 20 mins and the same 12 people are still in front if me. Horrendous!!! Go anywhere else!!
