Waste of time talking with the staff member Yessena here. Lacks follow through and lied to me.

USPS lost/misdelivered a package, and the service request process was extremely disappointing.
I opened a service request on May 7 at 3:10 PM and specifically requested email updates for documentation. I never received a single email update, including no notice that the service request had been closed.
A representative named Yessena called me on Saturday around 2 PM and said they did not have an answer yet and were not sure what happened to the package. She said she would speak with the carrier on Monday and call me back. Instead, they never called and I followed up, I was told the service request had already been closed. The notes only said they would contact the customer and provide a resolution, but no actual resolution was provided, and I was not contacted with the closure information.
This wasted my time, delayed my customer, and left me with no choice but to file an insurance claim and refund the buyer. The entire service request process felt pointless because USPS closed the request without giving me a real answer, without following up as promised, and without sending the email updates I requested.
I understand that packages can be lost, but the lack of communication and accountability afterward is unacceptable.

Sung was very patient and kind when helping me with my passport application and photo. Facility was small but tidy and well ventilated. Will come here again for future passport assistance!

I wish I would of reading reviews before booking an appointment. Please do not , I repeat do not come here for passports. They take their sweet time, they don't care if you have an appointment or not. And to top it all off you are treated poorly. Drive a little further but do not come here. Wish I can rate 0 stars.
