    Phone virtual assistant is the worst Ive ever experienced by far. It’s also completely impossible to speak to a person. It feels as if they are trying to avoid assisting you. I wish there was an option for 0 stars.

    I was supposed to get a package on 1-2-26. It was tracked to a P.O.BOX. SO I WENT to that post office on 1-3-26 at 8am and they said it would be delivered today to my house. My hold neighborhood hasn't received any mail after the holiday. I don't know why they are not delivering any mail over here. And I don't know why they lied to me about delivering my package today.

    Finally, a Chicago post office with someone working and not complaining! My clerk , a nice young lady (clerk 09)was professional and service was fast. Thank you. However, it's usually not like this when the cursing guy is there that's always on his phone or complaining🙄

    ABSOLUTELY RUDE AND CONDESCENDING grandma-aged lady who worked on passports with curly hair and glasses. Website wasn’t working so I walked in to ask about appointments and she kept saying “you can read the form and what it says on there and mail it in”. The website for passports literally said you could do renewals at designated post offices. Don’t go here for passport renewals. They’re awful.

    Giving a 5 star review because it's clear that finding a post office that meets everyones needs is very hard. This location deserves way more stars vs what it currently has. I had a great visit to this location today and want others who might be a caregiver or someone who needs nice parking experience while visiting the post office to know this is your spot. I needed to mail out holiday cards. So from a services stand point I only needed stamps and to ask a question about international postage but I needed to park for personal reasons with ease. There was another review mentioning the FREE PARKING and I was sold. It's a very generous size parking garage and there are elevators up to the lobby. I did have to walk up broken escalators - but it was a personal choice. The line was not long at 10 am and the staff working were all lovely. I got my stamps, asked a question at the counter and was back in my car all within 15 min.
