Has anybody ever had to get a replacement social security card for something? Is it not something…read morethat you look forward too. I went to this location, and got there about 10 minutes after they opened. I should have gone 30 minutes before they opened. The place was packed when I got there with about 50 people waiting. It took me an hour just for them to call my number. It turned out that, even if you call, and they say you have the correct paperwork, that you might not, as was the case when I went. When I got to the window, they said that when you call, the person that answers the phone sometimes gives out wrong information, and it used to happen all the time. I just went to save time on mailing paperwork back and forth, which might add up to weeks. So, I guess I will get the correct paperwork, and then next time get there really early.

I wasn't looking forward to my visit, especially after reading some of the reviews. For my business I decided to make time to go in on a Tuesday about 9:30am. I filled out the appropriate forms ahead of time (get them online if possible). From the time I took a number to the time I was called to a window was about 7 minutes. The young lady that helped me was very friendly. She explained anything that I had a question on, and done in another 5 minutes. I was amazed! Perhaps my need was a simple one but it was a pleasant interaction. I didn't take any pictures to post, but the ones posted are pretty accurate. I do wish I would have gotten the young lady's name so as to credit her for a job well done.

Paid for a birth certificate over a month ago and I'm getting non-stop roadblocks to get a simple birth certificate. I've spoken with several staff members, paid for the birth certificate to be expedited and still nothing. This is a horrible experience. I've been calling weekly waiting 1hr and 20 mins. just for someone to answer the call. I was given the wrong instructions for how to obtain my record evidently. My daughter attempted a walk-in and was told she could not receive the birth certificate even with proof of kinship and was told they weren't sending me a birth certificate either because they needed a copy of my marriage certificate which was not explained to me prior to my daughters attempt. This is really a frustrating experience for a simple certificate. My husband and I have a out of county important event to attend in May and NC has really created a stressful situation for our family.

I don't like to Raleigh around the police, and I'm not going to do that here…read more But, I have yet to have any serious problems with the Raleigh Police. I've been pulled over only once by these guys and nothing bad happened. So that was nice. Having said that I don't appreciate getting pulled over in the first place - especially when I didn't do anything wrong. But I'll give them a neutral rating since so far I've had overall neutral experiences with them.

Weirdly enough, the State Surplus Property Agency was recommended to me by a local Cary business…read moreowner. During a day trip in Cary, playing "tourist" we were looking for things to do, and the surplus agency sounded like an adventure. And let me tell you, an adventure it is! You never know what you're going to find at the surplus, but it's all items that have been donated by the state through confiscation [at the airport, drug busts, etc] or from state offices [colleges, government buildings, etc]. When getting to the Surplus, if you're headed down Chapel Hill Road AWAY from Cary, take the second gravel entrance [past the building] and park in front of the chainlink fence. Walk through the chainlink fence and walk up the stairs located to your right. Among other things, you'll possibly be greeted by some trackers or cars initially, and then you walk inside and hit "the good stuff." Everything from old school notebooks, medical equipment, pocket knives, laptops, bullet casings, and bottle openers. You've also got a mix of office chairs, desks and tables mixed in with your random collection of laboratory refrigerators, arcade games a possible piano and lawn chairs. It really can be a hit or a miss at the surplus, and if you're looking for something specific, this might not be the best place to look. However, that being said, if you are looking for a general piece, this place could be perfect for you! I'd say the surplus is most full of desks and chairs, so if you're into recovering/refinishing things this is a great spot to purchase something cheap! Other items go through a bidding system, which is a little more complicated and time consuming, so look for the items that you can take home that day.
