this business is equal to the worst RMV I've ever seen! The employees all have attitude as if they are overworked and underpaid and are missing their childs birthday.
Let me start with my first experience, 10 years ago, my 10 year old daughter and aspiring softball player found for her birthday, the best bat ever!...guaranteed to increase her batting average to .500!...we ordered on line and tracked daily...as the arrival date drew near, the excitement multiplied and the anticipation was palpable. Saturday the tracking said delivered (to my address) by usps ...hmmmm...no sign, I advised my daughter "please be patient if it doesn't arrive today, it will be here on monday, I'm sure"...well work and school masked the dismay for the week until i went to the milton PO with the tracking list in hand...I eventually made my way to the counter where i was answered..."let me check".... 20 mins later the clerk came out with my daughters prize. I asked the clerk, this tracking shows it was delivered last week?...is there a problem with the tracking service?...."No, it has been here for 10 days, we just been busy"-Really?...some one scanned the product as if delivered?...on to my next experience
My family and I are planning to go on out first international trip this spring, my wife called the post office to confirm that passport service was available from 10am. I took a day off (week days must be the best time for this?) my wife and two daughters arrived at the milton post office armed with birth certificates photo id's and lots of money (checks only) to pay fees.
there is a separate window assigned "passports only" where we waited unattended and observed by several resting clerks, until the 6 ppl were serviced at the "mail/parcels"line which took approx 45 mins, and until the mean and extremely unkept woman at that window asked, what do you need? "We are waiting for passports my wife replied." "Oh, is there no one there?" replied the clerk...meanwhile this window is 36 inches from her window ...wait a second, ill get someone....it was 10 or 15 mins before mr personality came to assist. He did his job, albeit rather slowly, an hour into it, it was finally my turn....wouldnt you know it...my MA drivers license was expired at my last birthday...uggh, now i have to return....between visits, I renewed my license and re read the criteria for passport requirements where I found, if you do not have a valid drivers license, you can have an acquaintance who does have a valid ma id fill out an affidavit to attest on your behalf...this was never offered to me while i was with my family and waited 2 hrs on a weekday??!!. I returned a week later with a friend, where I waited another 2 hrs (watched the same mean clerk shame a new mom with a child off crying for cutting line when the women was advised to return to the front of the line with the corrected form) when i got to the window, i was then informed "no paper licenses" really?...what can i do?...."you can make room for the next customer, and come back when you have a valid license!" ..well can I have a friend sign an affidavit attesting for me?...you would ve thought i asked for her first born?.....i was attested for and i was able to complete my passport application......c'mon really?...my wife could've done a week before??..that post office is so poorly managed and does not have any type of customer service or kindness read more
