- RPReggie PattonNov 15, 20251.0I hope that my mail doesn't keep coming months after mail was originally sent from other people for me
- SBShaun BanksNov 14, 20251.0The only reason THIS location gets a star is because 1/2 of one isn't an option. They have THE WORST customer service on the south side of Chicago, only being slightly outdone by the location off 111th and State Street. The lines are routinely long, yet the staff are openly unbothered by it, frequently seen standing around engaged in conversations while people wait unnecessarily long times to be serviced. There's usually only one window of four open for service, with one exclusively for passports. If you have to patronize this location, pack a lunch and a folding chair, you're gonna need it.
- DCDana CottonNov 10, 20251.0Package was supposed to be delivered on a Friday. Instead they Left it outside at a school on a Saturday in the pouring rain. Knowing the school was closed. I called Amazon and they told me they have A LOT of problems with them.
