- NCNoor ChowdhuryApr 14, 20255.0Got my fingerprints done and received my results within 30 minutes. They do let you know it’ll take about 48 hours, so it was unexpectedly quick The workers were efficient and explained things pretty clearly— I appreciate the way they organized the line considering it was quite crowded and people were there for taxes, packages, passports and more

- MCMichael Martinez (cmusicman13)Feb 3, 20245.0You need to enter from W 51st St
- CECat E.SNov 1, 20221.0This is so far the worst USPS experience I've ever had. They are rude and not willing to help. If I could give 0 stars I definitely would. Clerk 17 was extremely dismissive and inattentive.
