I dont think so, if they deliver you must make sure someone is in between the hours, either morning or afternoon. When picking up, you go whenever you have some time, even outside there opening hours.
to each his own - i had the driver call on his way no issue/ last time took me almost 2 hours to pick up- for 25 sheck/hour well worth it for me

So... that was my fun and exciting day at the Consulate. I'll post back when I actually get the passports. Feel free to post if you have any questions.

This past time I actually saw a frum guy working behind one of the windows...
frum arab  :P
Wow I am happy to hear it's improved.  I still have bad memories from when I lived in Israel and had to g o there.
 They didn't take cc had a terrible exchange rate for shekel and never had change.  The lady in front of me needed $20 change and they didn't have any.  She was crying at them that it was a present and they could keep it.  They refused insisting it would mess up all their records.   She ended waiting an hour till someone else paid in small bills and they had change.

Wow, you're good! How'd you know? Do you work for Shaal? :P

Just got the passports this afternoon. Got the 52 page version, FTW! :D

Despite having nearly twice as many pages, they're not much thicker than the old ones, since the covers make up much of the bulk.

Now, so many blank pages... Where shall we go first? ;)

It's not about the quantity of your posts.  It's about the quality.
