US Post Office

This is the second year in a row we have requested for mail to be held and delivered to our home. For the second year in a row we have had to call the Garden city post office and ask them to find out where our mail is and when we can expect it. You fill out the form — make sure it’s clear — and they just ignore it. What is going on there? Sometimes we get a collection of neighbors mail because the carrier doesn’t fell like finishing the job!

Thought I would give this post office a try due to the reviews but after seeing the reviews a year old. I just called and spoke to «Mary» to schedule appointment to obtain a passport, very short and rude on the phone. Called somewhere else to make a appointment. I understand your day may not be as you liked but its called customer service. Very disappointed.

Good customer service and 24 hour P.O. box access is a plus, but their lobby hours are too limited for those who can’t make it there when they open or before they close on weekdays, specifically for package pickups. They’re only open until 1 on Saturdays.

Helpful people. Not all. A few. The post office it self is historic and beautiful. I felt like I was going to a nice home instead to a post office when walking up to it. The parking is on the backside and the door is on the front side. ;-)

Only the fastest post office ever! They’re very courteous, friendly and the service is top notch! Any time I’m looking to have my mail go a little faster than normal I make sure to send it from here. Great!

Oh dear, if only the DMV had the same wrap as so does the USPS. Especially when it comes to this one! A package I had inbound my way was mislabeled as RTS. Luckily I tracked it in time before they sent it back. But what they did was tremendous. They called me and even stayed late (about half hour) just so that I had time to head out there and pick it up personally.
A rarity you find in government ran services.

Amazingly helpful and courteous when it comes to applying for a passport. After an afternoon dealing with the nonsense at the County Clerk’s, this Post Office was a salve.
It’s in a nice, old pre-​war building, to boot.
If you’re a first time passport applicant, here’s what you’ll need (so you don’t have to go through the excruciating pain I did):
0. Get to this Post Office before 3pm on weekdays, before 12pm on weekends to apply for your passport.
1. A DS-​0011 form, which translates to the «I’ve never had a passport» form. You can pick it up at any post office that has a passport service. It’s white and mocha-​colored. You’ll need your social security number, your parents’ full names and birth dates/​locations.
2. Your birth certificate. This has to be the official document, and not a copy. They’ll mail this in along with your passport application and return it you in a few weeks.
3. Your driver’s license or other government-​issued photo ID. Has to be legit. No fakesies, kids.
4. Two identical, recent photos of yourself, 2×2, full color, without anything obscuring your face or head. Sure you can print it out on professional, glossy photo paper at home and diddle in PS, or you can just suck it up and pay for the easy ones at a CVS or Walgreen’s. I recommend getting them taken at a store, so you know you won’t get rejected because your face was cut off an ¹⁄₈ of an inch.
5. A check or money order for $ 75 that gets mailed in with your passport application.
6. $ 25 cash or credit to give to the Post Office man to pay for two-​way postage of your passport book.
P. S.:
This is the official County Clerk passport page. Don’t be fooled by their bureaucratic words or her shiny, grinning mug. It’s all hoochery and backhanded stupid at that place. Go to the Garden City Post Office, spend ten minutes filling out the form, pay, go home contented.
