OMG, they took SOOOOOO much stress off of my shoulders. I had an international flight booked and realized 10 days before my flight that my passport was expired. I did some research and found out I can get the passport in person at a US Passport Agency, I called and the soonest appointment they had was two days before my flight, rather than risking not getting my passport in time and losing my $1,700 flight I did more research and found out about these expediting services. I soured the internet until I found a local company, TDS (as I can turn in my application by hand and then also pick my passport up as soon as it was ready).



Prices are EXTREMELY cheap and competitive, I found out-of-state sites that charged over $300 for what TDS charges $195. Even better is if you turn your documents in by hand, you don't pay until they have your passport. I asked for the 24-hour service that costs $195, but they reassured me and convinced my to go with the cheaper 3-4 day service for $130 as I would still get my passport well before my flight. I got my father to turn my application in Wednesday morning, and my passport was ready Friday afternoon. Now most of my stress is gone and I can worry about my university finals coming up in six days. : )
