    No one at the front desk when I arrived.
    Lucy F.

    There was no one at the front desk when I arrived at 8:30am. Come to find out there was only one person working the front desk and she had to go to the back to get something for the customer. I waited a total of 21 minutes in line just to get two books of stamps. Ms. Deloris was very nice and professional and she apologized for our patience. The post office itself seems a little run down. There was a sign that was tapped crooked that looks so unprofessional. The place seemed like they had a really busy day because there was trash everywhere but they had only been open for 30 minutes so I'm sure that's from the day before. I just don't understand why they don't sweep and pick up the trash from all the counters before opening for business. There was also lots of trash in front of the post office building. The only reason I gave it three stars is because Deloris is pretty awesome and seems to be the only one that wants to work here.

    Like any other business, there are good post offices and there are bad ones. This one is better than most. Decent parking, lots of boxes and unlike some, a vending machine with a scale that lets you get the right postage for your package and even buy stamps without having to go interact with one of the counter agents. It's also available when the counter area is closed. Since I had some time on my hands (waiting on my car to be tinted, across the street), I opted to deal with a human to pick up a couple of stamps. He was pleasant and helpful and go 'er done quickly.

    I love this post office because of the self serve machine. My jobs doesn't always allow for me to get to the post office during business hours. So with the self serve I can handle business after hours!!

    Worst post office in the area, always a waste of time. Takes the longest, always long lines and attitudes

    The wait is pretty damn sucky if you haven't pre-booked an appointment. Some people wait for 4…read morehours before they're seen. Literally. The attendants are a little rude and don't provide the best customer service (that is, until you're seated to be seen and then they're all pleasant. SO... Here are some tips to help make your time at this passport office easier. 1) Make sure you go around to the actual passport office and you aren't waiting in the general US post office in front. 2) MOST IMPORTANTLY: book an appointment. book an appointment. just do it. You will literally cut hours off of your wait time and you'll thank yourself for planning ahead. I'll say it again...book an appointment. YOU WILL REGRET NOT DOING SO. 3) Try not to go on a Saturday. even if you arrive at 9am bright and early you'll leave by 2pm if you don't have an appointment. 4) Bring a book or toys if you have children because the use of cellphones, tablets and laptops are strictly prohibited. Having something to keep your hands busy will make the time go buy quicker. 5) Eat breakfast or a snack before you come (food and drinks are prohibited inside the building) 6) Pre-fill out your DS-11 or D6-82 you'll wait in line just for them to send you to desks to complete it and get back in line. Don't do this to yourself! 7) Make sure you have your proof of citizenship and of identity. If you're bringing your birth certificate make sure it's the ORIGINAL copy. You can make photocopies of these (front and back) if you'd like but they'll do it for you rather quickly at this particular center so it doesn't make much of a difference if it's a hassle for you to get to a printer. 8) Take your pics ahead of time at a local Rite Aid, Walgreens or CVS. You can do it at this office too very quickly (like in under 2 minutes) BUT it typically costs $8 at a drug store and it's $15 here. Also, this way you can do your make up and hair under your own terms in stead of having to be presentable after waiting hours in line. (this isn't a must it's just a nice thing to be a little more prepared) 9) If you're not a fan of small kids bring some earplugs, noise canceling headphones and hand sanitizer. Kids are cute, don't get me wrong. BUT many starter families and people with small children come to the passport office because kids under 16 can't just mail in their forms for their first passport. They need to go to an office in person. So expect it to be filled with at least 10 children (some of which who have been waiting for an hour or two without food, a nap or proper stimulation). 10) Finally just try to have fun! If you have kids play some quiet games with them. If you have a loved one plan your next trip. If you're alone turn to the person next to you and joke about the wait! Seriously this is a typical convo and there's a level of camaraderie in the fact that everyone else wants to go home just as bad as you do!

    They LOST my passport + name change application 12/29/25. Terrible service. Cannot reach the office…read morefor answers. Do not recommend for passport processing
