I'll be back tmr to see if I can get a manager or someone with importance to help cause I've gone 3 times this year and it's the same situation every time and it's exhausting I can't do nothing in America without a social security and they make it hard for us. They say make an appointment and nothing shows even with many zip codes y'all are a joke truly waste of energy and tax money we all pay for y'all to be there. It says I have to be there working 45 days if not something bad can happen as well so yeah a joke I'll get there names here soon also calling online they don't do nothing g but say our wait time is 120 minutes or call back again and they hang up instead of having you wait it's crazy no joke it's stupid

Since I needed to provide verification of date of birth to start Medicare, a trip to the office was required. Fortunately, there is a location just 2 miles from us in SW Austin. The facility is large, clean and institutional. Wouldn't expect anything different. The waiting area is large, with lot's of seats. There were clean restrooms and water dispensers. You cannot bring in food/drink, no biggie. Once we arrived, I expected a decent wait time, so brought the spousey to join me and we just enjoyed each other during the wait. When we entered, not really knowing next steps, I went to ask the gentlemen in a uniform for direction behind a counter. I barely got out, Good Afternoon, I was.... well cutoff.. and told, check in at the kiosk as he pointed to the thingy to my left and went back to what was more important than helping me. Look, I feel for these folks who have these jobs. I'm sure they work with a great deal of angst from folks, not getting what they think they deserve from the system and may be the target of their discontent. However, it would be nice if he would of let me finish my statement, perhaps a smile, but not today. Hit up the kiosk, checked in, got a ticket and we sat and watched the monitor for when it was our time. As you are informed, your wait my be longer or shorter then others already in the room. Depends what you are there for. My number was called and we were greeted by a smiling agent, who took it from there. He eliminated my fears that I may have been a little late to apply, took my identification, including my Dutch birth certificate, passport and TDL to make copies. Came back, let me know I was all set and would be receiving stuff in the mail. Polite, efficient and pleasant interaction. I believe we may have been waiting 25mins. It was pretty quick IMO. We headed out and I made a point to walk out by the counter, smiled really big at the same gentlemen and thanked the dude and wished him a good afternoon. This blew him away by the look on his face, he managed a smile and wished me the same. Kill them with kindness is always a moto for me. For reference, I was there on a Friday a little after noon. Job Done..

After scheduling my appointment I received a text message with the appointment confirmation of the date and time and a link that allowed me to check in online once I was there. I also received an email reminder. On the day of my appointment I drove into the parking lot, parked, clicked the link that was texted to me and I was checked in and received a DPS ticket number. I then walked in, waited in a line to speak with someone working at the desk. A friendly woman checked my documents, gave me some paperwork to fill out, and then told me to sit and wait in the waiting area. I sat at a table, filled out my paperwork and waited. I waited for about an hour and a half. During my wait several people that worked there came out and made announcements. They were there to help. When they finally called out my number I was relieved that the wait was over. The woman that was working behind the counter was friendly. She checked my documents, and then told me where to stand and took my photo. I paid, she gave me my paperwork and it was done. This process went really fast and took less than 10 minutes. Overall it wasn't a bad experience it was just very time consuming. The appointment time was at 10:40 and I left at 12:20. You will wait a long time before being seen but a positive is that everyone that worked there was friendly and helpful. A side note. Be sure to take hand sanitizer and some sanitizer wipes. I used the women's restroom and they were clean but they didn't have any soap in the dispenser and the large hand sanitizer bottle on the sink was empty. So take something with you to clean your hands just in case.

You may have to schedule it out a few months, so make sure to plan ahead. When you arrive, you sign in on the kiosk with either your name, your phone number, or your confirmation number which is emailed to you. The kiosk generates a number and there are screens in the waiting room to tell you which number they are on. The process moves relatively fast compared to the past, but you should still plan to be there for about an hour. My appointment was at three, I arrived a few minutes early and was out of there around 4 o'clock. The clerk that assisted me was very helpful and friendly. It was an overall successful trip and some pretty good people watching while I waited.

    Customers can be incredibly mean at times. I recently witnessed a customer go off on a postal clerk…read morefor absolutely no reason. I saw the entire situation, and the clerk did nothing wrong. It seemed the customer came in already upset and looking for someone to take it out on. She was loud, disrespectful, and completely out of line. One thing I don't think people realize is how much postal clerks deal with every day. They help hundreds of customers, often under stressful conditions, and rarely receive any recognition for their patience and professionalism. The kind and hardworking clerks who show up every day and treat customers with respect deserve far more appreciation than they receive. People, let's do better. A little kindness and understanding can go a long way.

    This honestly has to be the worst USPS facility around. Extremely unorganized. I had to go because…read moreI had not received my held mail in 4 days. Of course they have a local number but do not answer it. I waited in line for over 10 minutes to get up to the counter. It seems like when someone was done, they just got up and left the counter. I finally got to the counter and was faced the rudest, unprofessional employee ever. I asked if my mail was still being held and was ordered to provide my ID. No please or thank you - just give me your ID. I had my printout as well showing my dates when my mail was to be held and when it was to be delivered. After giving my ID, waited over 8 minutes for her to return. Was handed a bunch of mail, some of which was not even mine and gave back to the agent. She immediately marked as return to sender. I told her it should not be sent back, only to be delivered to the right address. Didn't matter, still marked AUK - address unknown. I asked if she could verify if my mail would be delivered moving forward. I got an eyeroll and huff. She said she had to check with her supervisor. I also asked why my mail had not been delivered as scheduled. She stated our "regular" person was on leave and had temps and they had thrown out all of the hold mail cards and people had to come in. Which was very frustrating to hear. No apology, nothing. I am truly hoping for my mail to get back on track. Just do better.
