My wife, nine-year-old daughter, and I walked in on a Friday in September to renew our daughter's passport. Even though they have walk in hours at 9am on Fridays, we made an appointment for 10am online. Right away, Cherry helped us. She was very patient and kind. 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.

Kudos to the money losing USPS (loses of $9B annually) for finally getting tough with Amazon. It…read moreseems the Post Office is tired of delivering Amazon packages 'the last mile" at a contract rate significantly below their cost. 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

So, how inefficient can our postal service be? They keep raising rates but the service doesn't seem…read moreto reflect the cost. Once again, I was let down, I recently was away for about a month visiting my mom who is in poor health. I filled out the proper form and submitted to have my mail on hold and not to be delivered until I returned to pick it up. I did this at two USPS stations which serve my neighborhood. Thought I was fully covered doing that. Of course, when I got home my mail box was full and some items were left on a table in our building lobby. WTF??? When I went to the post office they had no answer other than to say my normal carrier was also out for a week. The replacement did not pay attention to my hold forms. Such a BS reason. Sounds like laziness to me, and ineptitude. All I received was a shrug and said they were sorry.

I finally called the customer service line because my mailman said they could put a trace on the package. The hardest part was due to my eyes. I had to enter the tracking number. I did get a wonderful employee named Dora. My package is being returned to me. She doesn't know why but the return process started (coincidentally) July 2nd. She signed me up for text messages so I can get texts regarding my return. It will be very convenient. She also offered to connect me so I could order more stamps when I said I need more. I rather go to the website and select what I like. I find that is a very convenient service too. I guess I'm just glad my mission for today is accomplished! I'm still a fan of USPS since childhood.

The United States Postal Service (USPS) keeps increasing postage rates! Most recently, first class…read morepostage rose from 78 cents to 82 cents and domestic postcards postage increased from 61 cents to 65 cents. USPS increased the postage rate four times between 2021 and 2023. It makes me happy that I rarely mail anything. I do mail Christmas and birthday cards, and stocked up on forever stamps prior to the last couple of postage rate increases. Of all the things we are taught about Benjamin Franklin, I did not know he was appointed the first postmaster general! I also did not realize the USPS employs over 640,000 people! The USPS has a fun facts link and there I learned that coconuts and potatoes can be mailed without a box. Just write the destination and return addressees on your piece of produce and have it weighed for appropriate postage. USPS will ship it as-is. I had no idea! I love nearly all of the USPS postage stamp designs! Cool recent stamp designs include a group of Route 66 themed stamps (celebrating the 100th anniversary of America's legendary highway), and Mohammed Ali stamps. And, I enjoy gifting international postcard stamps at Christmas time to my friends who are involved in Postcrossing which is an international postcard exchange program. The process for ordering USPS postage stamps online is always easy and I appreciate that option versus having to buy stamps at a local post office.

I wanted to order more stamps online. I have been having trouble with delivery. They shoved an oversized package into my mailbox instead of giving it to the package room. It was not easy to pull out. One day I had an Amazon delivery missing in action. It went to the wrong address I guess. It was a birthday gift for my daughter a tiny item. I paid $20 with tax and shipping. This item wasn't sold using Prime or Amazon delivery. My local post office did email me to apologize for losing it after I requested a missing package search. So today USPS gets three stars. I need a divorce!
