US Post Office

Pros:
Good location
Lots of parking for a downtown location
Never really busy
Cons:
There is typically only one person working at the counter. Even when there is a line, you can see people in the back doing nothing.
Employees seem like they’d rather be anywhere else and are sometimes rude.
Today was actually the best experience I’ve ever had there. I was waiting in line, and another employee stepped out from the back to help, and she was pleasant. The pros and cons reflect my past experiences.

Please ignore the 1 star. They deserve ZERO stars.
Let’s see, $ 13.00 for a box, $ 3.50 for tape, plus 10% sales tax, equals $ 18.15 they didn’t get out of me.
I went to this post office this morning to return an AT&T modem box and I was pushed out of line by 1) woman with a baby stroller and 2) woman that had to run out to her car to get something. They kept pushing me back for these two customers.
I finally left the box on the counter, walked out, went to a gas station, got me a box, went home and taped up the box and delivered it to the post office in East Nashville where I was greeted with «Morning sweetie, what can I do you for?»
ZERO stars to the downtown post office.
Will write a 5 star review on post office in East Nashville.

In my life outside of Unilocal,I have been a part of taking people all over the world on trips. Passports are needed and it’s expensive. I have learned through the years where to cut dollars and where to pony up a few extra when it comes to passports.
There is only one way, in my opinion, to receive your first passport or to renew a passport… The United States Post Office.
I have seen dozens of people waste time downloading applications, getting pictures made at CVS or Walgreens, only to show up at the PO and need to redo the application and pictures. Why? The PO has the system down pat… they answer all questions about the application and they take pictures that always meet the requirements. And, after all, they are responsible for vouching for your identity.
Do it right the first folks… save yourself some time and spend the extra $ 5 on a PO picture as opposed to the cheaper drugstore photographer.
Just the other day, I grabbed my Passport to book an international flight. Crud. My passport just expired. I immediately went to the PO at The Frist and in 6 minutes I walked out having made new application, photo taken, payment arranged, and mail sent. Wow! That was fast!
