It seems to cost $15 so basically similar to what Walgreens and CVS and Fedex charges but it seems better to do it with USPS?
Has anyone done passport photos at USPS? Seems like that is the best option since it would be rare for them to make a mistake while taking a photo and giving it to you? Any experiences with this?
Before you even consider using the USPS for your passport photos, use the USPS scheduling engine to see how long the waiting time is for an appointment at a post office near you which offers photo service. If the waiting time is two weeks or more, then that obviously won't work for you.
I'm not sure why you think that a USPS employee is any more competent than a CVS, FedEx Office, or Walgreens employee at taking a passport photo. I certainly would not make that assumption, but frankly I think you will be fine no matter which of those places you use to take a passport photo. This isn't exactly rocket science.
