I wish I could give this post office zero stars.
I have been here several times, and unfortunately every visit has been a negative experience. The customer service is consistently unfriendly, and this most recent interaction was especially disappointing.
I called because I needed to apply for a passport for my one-month-old baby. I explained that I had all of the paperwork completed, payment ready, and was hoping to come in as soon as they opened so I wouldn’t have to keep a newborn waiting unnecessarily.
I was told they would not help me before the 11:00 a.m. walk-in hours. I politely asked whether, if there were no customers waiting, they could make an exception since I would be there with a one-month-old infant. The employee immediately refused without any willingness to help or offer an alternative.
I understand that offices have policies, and I wasn’t asking anyone to break the rules if that wasn’t possible. What was most disappointing was the complete lack of empathy and customer service. A little compassion or a willingness to see if there was any flexibility would have gone a long way.
Based on my repeated experiences, this post office has consistently provided poor customer service, and I sincerely hope management addresses how customers are treated. Judging by the number of similar negative reviews, however, it appears nothing has changed. At this point, it seems this attitude toward customers may reflect the culture encouraged by management.

Worst experience in a post office. I had a 9am passport appointment. Arrived at 845am and there was a line and the office was not open. Finally rang the bell at 905am and someone came out to say they just arrived and will be opening shortly. When I got to the counter I told them I had a 9am passport photo. I was told that they didn't understand how there could be 2 appointments scheduled at the same time and that they could not help me due to their photo system being down.
Will not return to this location.

absolutely zero customer service from the staff they made me wait 25 minutes while they were trying to fix their machines and then they told me they can’t stick a label on the box although I got my label printed out and they couldn’t even stick a half inch tape for the label. They asked me to purchase the big roll of tape. I was ready to purchase, but then they said they didn’t have tape in stock which was completely senseless.
