I sent priority items on sept 3 I gave the time frame and everything and the woman behind the counter said there was no way she could track my packages for me without a tracking number. Obviously I wouldn't have gone in with my card and all the info if I still had it. One of the people I sent items to still hadn't received their items and they were supposed to get it on the 6th. She said the person who did the order or the lead person had to look it up... then tells me the girl who helped me is a floater and is never there and the lead is only available after 3p on Monday. I told her I cant come after 3 I can come between 2 and 3 but I also have to get back to work and she gave me a number and said well you can try to call then. So unhelpful. So rude. This post office is the worst. All I want is to know where my package is because it never got returned to me, never reached the person it was supposed to, and its got items in that cost alot of money!! It was a gift!!

My family went to get their passports done and Justin was AMAZING!!! My two children (ages 2 and 10) were getting theirs done and he was just so kind, patient and extremely helpful throughout the entire process! Even when my 2 year old didn't want to get his picture taken. Of course I used Mima (my mother), to get him to take his photo. It was the most pleasant experience (I was anxious on how it would go) that I have had at a post office in awhile. Thank you Justin! I have already recommended the EP Post office to several friends and family members!
