- SSStephanieFeb 6, 20255.0Very kind & helpful staff! We were a little early for our 12:30pm passport appointment today. The lady in the front helped us either way. I was skeptical on coming to this location due to the negative reviews but i'm glad we sticked to this location.
- TMTruthfully meAug 17, 20241.0Drove kind of far to find out this site is suspiciously closed at 7 when it says they’re open til 8 on a Saturday. Couldn’t spent this 40 min drive with my daughter on my day off.
- MGM GrimesJun 1, 20243.0MKE Airport location is supposed to be open until 8pm on Saturdays. I (& 8 more cars) went up to the door at 7pm & it was already closed. Business owners depend upon that. USPS you are better than that. I hope it’s open full hours tomorrow.
- RHRosa HernandezFeb 1, 20231.0Never open !! Why say you close at 10pm then not be open when it’s barely 7 ?
