I don't know if she's the same hateful lady that I encountered earlier this year or not, although. I suspect not. But even if she is, she was much more pleasant today. I had to send an official document to the city of Birmingham and wanted a signature card with it. She helped me to find the correct documents to do so. So happy to have had a better experience today!

This is my go-to UPS location in the Birmingham area. I went yesterday (27 Jan 2026) around 12:45…read morepm to drop off a boxed & labeled Amazon return -- I was in and out in under a minute. I have visited this location on numerous occasions and can say from experience that speedy service here is typical as the employees are attentive, efficient, knowledgeable and good at what they do! The only time I encountered a line was last month (December). I stopped in around 11:15 am and the line was packed out allllll the way to the door. I could tell it was moving quickly, yet, decided to leave and return later because I had my children with me and hadn't expected to need to wait. So pro-tip -- avoid visiting around lunch time during the holidays :) I've not yet needed to make purchases at this location but would say their prices are comparable to other copy/print/mail services in the area.

The usual ladies that are normally here were not in sight. There was another young lady that was…read morenot in postal uniform, just street clothes and a ball cap. I believe she had an ear bud in her hear and was having a conversation with someone as she was helping the lady before me. She spoke and the customer asked her to repeat herself and she indicated it wasn't directed at her. When I asked if I should give her my stack of Christmas cards or drop them in the drop slot, she said it didn't matter. But then when I handed them to her, she acted annoyed. Maybe she's just having a difficult day. I try to always give grace.

Some of the customers were regulars , so I really like how the postal attendants interacted with those customers. Customer service in general was stellar across the board!! LaSondra was a joy to be around . She helped me with purchasing a money order and filling it out correctly to mail along with my passport renewal packet. I don't believe I've ever purchased a money order in my life . It went well with such great help! She also helped me select the appropriate trackable mailing option. The trackable option is ideal when mailing off such sensitive material. The post office didn't seem like the place to take photos since it's a government agency. Honestly , I was afraid too! No pictures but this was a very clean , organized facility with all mailing services available. This was a great experience!

I called ahead to confirm whether I could get a passport photo taken and specifically asked if an…read moreappointment was required. I was told I could walk in without one. Based on that information, I drove 30 minutes to this location--only to be told when I arrived that passport photos are by appointment only. That means I wasted an hour round trip because of incorrect information given over the phone. To make matters worse, there were multiple people already waiting, including some with appointments who had been there for quite a while due to what I was told is a new employee still learning. I understand that new staff need time to get up to speed, but giving out inaccurate information causes real inconvenience for customers. If you're unsure, please take the time to verify instead of providing the wrong answer. This experience was frustrating and a complete waste of time.

Online it says that passport service is available from 9:30-11 (on Saturday), but when we got there on time, this was not the case. Q, the representative up front told us he was working up front by himself until 10ish, and that the hours were extended until noon because of that. In other words, we would have to wait. We were annoyed at the inconvenience since we drove out of the way, but were understanding so we asked if he could give us a call when his colleague was available. He agreed. We went across the street for breakfast and Q eventually called us back. We arrived and Q took great care of us. He was very professional and thorough, which we appreciated. He apologized for the inconvenience and made sure to answer any of our questions. Shout out to Q for grade A service!
