STAY AWAY!!! DO NOT GO HERE!!! It is beyond ridiculous!!! First of all the place is a complete mess!! It's dirty & dingy, was totally cluttered and messy to the point of gross (ie: barely a clear spot to set your things down on the counter. Ie: OLD melted cookies just sitting out on the counter.)
I went there for my live scan (something I've done MANY times as an educator) and the older gentleman is SO SLOW (no disrespect but if you've ever seen the movie zootopia... he is the sloth at the DMV but worse!) Before beginning he tried to make the price up on the fly and I corrected him and said no, I know the price is ___ because I called the livescan place today and asked. He said "oh the prices were raised" (no!) He was totally trying to make some extra $ off of me! After I was adamant about the prices he said ok I'll do for you. The "computer" he used to open the program for the live scan was like an ancient dinosaur and it took FOREVER for it power on, and took him approx 25 mins to enter in my info (anywhere else I know would've had the info keyed in in under 2 mins) and on top of it he completely left required sections out (like place of birth, contact #, etc.) I filled those in and we began the fingerprinting process, he kept telling me to wipe my hands when really what the computer kept saying was to CLEAN the platant on the fingerprint scanner. 3 of my fingers came up "red" which means NO good and yet he tried to tell me oh it's fine I can see it!! They typically have to be green to be legible and accepted. After the fingerprinting was "done" he told me I HAVE TO MAIL THE FORM IN!?!?!?!? What???!!!??? I'm paying YOU to do this for me hence the $25 fee you charge on TOP of the government fee. He said no no I never send them in, you have to mail it to blah blah blah. At that point as if my confidence in his abilities and "profession" wasn't already smashed that was the icing on the cake and I took my papers and said NO I'm not paying for this and I'll be going somewhere else. He became arrogant and upset stating that I wasn't sorry and I was being funny and not cooperating and that he had never met someone like me before. He also would NOT give my form with all my personal information including my SS#, name, date of birth, place of birth, address, etc etc. so I had to take the paper from him and walk out. I kept my cool as much as possible and tried my best to be respectful to the elderly man but wow this place needs to be SHUT DOWN! I will be sharing this experience with postal annex corporate as well as certifix (the program they use for livescanning). I wish I could give 0 stars!!!
Update: the man called me today and left a intimidating, rude, and threatening voicemail that he is going to contact the employer and tell them a story. I did call back and let him know I spoke to certifix as well as postal annex corporate and that I'm not going to be paying and he will need to take it as his stores personal loss. He told me my 2 and 7 year old (who literally sat in a chair the entire time watching a show quietly) were misbehaved and a disturbance, called me uneducated, and that if I'm a teacher I need to behave like one. Trying to scold me as a child - no thank you!!! Absolutely ridiculous and extremely unprofessional. I told him he has a business and customer service and professionalism is a part of it and he's failing in that department miserably. read more
