- TCThomas ChidwickJun 19, 20255.0Quick and friendly service.
- DADelakia AdamuMar 25, 20255.0Great experience with getting my passport
- TMThe M’sJul 10, 20235.0I could not believe how friendly and efficient this place was! We were driving through and decided to stop here instead of go to a Dallas post office for our twins’ passports. Could not have been more amazed by the service here. Not only was the lady behind the counter, Whitney, so friendly to us, but she multitasks and asked other people coming in if she could help them while she was processing our stuff. I was truly amazed by her friendliness, professionalism, and efficiency. Something you just don’t see very often these days, especially at the post office. Update: we forgot something on the counter and Whitney sent it to our home address.
- MMMaxwell MorrisonJul 7, 20235.0What a breath of fresh air! While the USPS has a reputation for being lazy, incompetent, and merciless, this post office really wowed me! I couldn’t believe how well Whitney multitasked, helping multiple customers at a time WHILE answering phones, and filed our passport paperwork for our two boys in 10 minutes. They were friendly, diligent, and extremely capable. The complete opposite of the postal experience we had in Allen, TX just days earlier. The Postal Service really needs Whitney and Co. to train the rest of their agents in the other branches.
- CMChey MJun 29, 20225.0Protect this location and the employees that work here at all costs. Had to drive 1 hour out today to visit this location and we were pleased and offered the most efficient and best customer service by the gentleman working during the afternoon today. Thank you so much!
