Don’t know why this place has such negative reviews, I think maybe people are just in a bad mood and dont wanna go there for personal reasons. I’ve been there many times and the employees are very nice and I’m in and out in less than 5 minutes usually.

Wow, the workers at this post office are terrible. They’re supposed to open at 7:30am. There was a line of people waiting even before 7:30am, and by 7:45am, doors are still not open. We hear people talking loudly inside. A couple of people rang the bell to alert them of customers waiting. The response: obnoxious cackling. I kid you not. They couldn’t give a single damn. We have a few high school kids working at our small retail store, and they behave in a more professional manner than these grown adults. What a shame! You hear ppl complain about customers behaving badly, but workers can be just as bad if not worse.

Went for passport services, arrived early for my appointment and was still accommodated. Less than a 15 minute process if you have all the required documents completed as explained on the US Passport website. I think people tend to forget this is not solely a passport office they are just able to facilitate the process.
