Went here for my passport appointment and was treated like an absolute nuisance from the start. I…read morehad a 5:30 pm appointment that I rushed to after getting off work, got there early, and the store appeared to be closed. Luckily, I looked around enough and found a way to enter the building to notify the employees of my appointment (although I would argue they should have a sign with some sort of instruction for this situation). Another man was with me doing the same thing. A woman, whose name I don't know, treated me with such aggression and hostility that I have never experienced before. I opted for a passport appointment rather than a drop off location so that I could double check that all of my materials looked good-- to no avail. She ordered me around, barely reviewed my documents, rolled her eyes and scolded me for anything I said or did, and got me out of there as quickly as possible. Most frustratingly, I just recieved notice from the state department that there was an error on one of my materials-- one she could've easily helped me out with if she just gave me an ounce of her attention and did her job. Incredibly disappointing. This is also my first Yelp review ever unfortunuately-- I've never had such a bad experience.

Yet, I'm still waiting for mail..I've never experienced such an inconvenience. My main question is why does the people at the call center provide such courteous care, than those that you have to face publicly. FedEx had to provide services for anything of value to be delivered safely. Not sure who took my credit cards, but they are no good and whomever took my son's birthday cards, enjoy the small tokens!

When we talk about equity in black/brown neighborhoods, it starts with the services that are…read moreprovided. This location is always super dark, making one believe that they are closed. Typically, only one person is working; meaning they have to manage a long line and when they go on break, the post office is closed during their publicized operating hours. There are never ample boxes available to ship packages, only "what is there". The only positive thing is normally, not always but normally, the person working is cordial. People in this community should be able to experience the same level of customer service as the locations on the Capitol Hill side (the opposite side of H st/Benning Road), opposed to being inconvenienced and forced to drive outside of our own neighborhood to run simple errands.

I spoke before Rep Norton's postal round table several years ago. There were over 300 complaints & I was one of two constituents chosen to speak. After meeting the DC postmaster at the round table, I met the person in charge of customer service complaints and eventually the DC postmaster's boss. My issues weren't fully resolved but they were drastically reduced. There are too many issues to list but they include misdelivered mail, lost mail & issues with packages. There is a disconnect between the mail carriers and the staff at this location. This miscommunication causes problems when going to the post office. It is pesty going under normal circumstances but worse during Covid 19. If the employee can't find your package, they send you to a computer stand where you key in your tracking number. It means you lose your place in line. I don't see the need for that exercise since the employees should be able to locate packages. Tracking numbers become irrelevant when the information isn't accurate. It seems like the USPS hires a third party to answer the 800 number. I suspect it is an overseas call center. I have a kidney stone during covid. My doctor mailed a prescription so I could avoid a hospital visit. It took 14 days to receive it. The tracking info wasn't right. One mistake is a human just making a mistake. Reoccurring mistakes are bad business. Our mail carrier and the substitute carriers don't always leave notices, which complicates the situation. When I order from Amazon or Ebay, I use a family member's address since it is too stressful to use my own address. I am resourceful, determined and have stamina to be on hold for an hour, if necessary. I am disappointed that someone as resourceful as me can't get resolution to my postal issues. I don't feel hopeful and I don't have any faith in the post office. It shouldn't be this way.

She took our daughter's photo, copied a few documents, and walked us through the completed application. We were on our way within 15-20 minutes. This USPS is inside the National Postal Museum in the building that's the first federal building named after a woman. It's spacious with all the things you'd expect- stamps for sale, greeting cards, etc. It's right next to the Union Station Metro.

While I'm no fan of the bloat and bureaucracy at the USPS (I blame Congress who treats the USPS like a jobs program and never wants to dial anything back) it's nice to see that they're willing to walk from Amazon who seems to desire renewing their delivery contract at virtually no increase. It would be nice to see a check mark in the win column for the Postal Service. Five stars for hanging tough

Rainier and the NICEST man told me he'd be happy to help out. I rented a car to go and headed across state lines. The same man was at the desk and was helping a young lady with the paperwork for her first passport. He was so patient and kind with her, even though there was a line of folks waiting. It's rare to see someone help someone else out not just because they have to but because they care--this gentleman definitely went above and beyond in making her comfortable with what she needed to do to get her paperwork in order and to set her at ease. Honestly, this also made waiting in line so much more bearable; she was worth his time. Once he got to me, he not only remembered my call from the day before but was excited to hand cancel my envelopes. This just made my day. I love getting snail mail, and I reaaaally love wax seals, so it was important to me that the invitations to my wedding have wax seals. Was anyone going to die if these were ruined? No. Was it important to me? Yes. This man treated my seals like they were important to him, too. And, even though we handed them over to him Saturday, folks in New York already had their invites the next Monday, which is crazy fast. Letters aren't dead, folks, and the caring folks at your local post office like this guy are what is keeping hand-written notes and heartfelt letters (and wax seals!) going.

One of them laughed and said she (package carrier) does that sometimes where I told her that was a lie. Her response was "I know" while still laughing. This is crazy!!!
