    No idea why this place has a bad rep, went there today, was out in less than 5 minutes, the lady working the counter was super sweet and everything was well stocked/clean. Nice post office

    I wish I could choose my post office for mail delivery. I definitely wouldn't choose this one. It's better than it used to be but it still sucks. I bypass Ashburn location and take all my outgoing mail to Oak Lawn. I wouldn't even buy stamps there. I signed up for informed delivery and received an email that an important piece of mail will be in my mailbox September 5th. Never got it. I called the post office (never a friendly voice) and Natasha said they can only trace mail with a tracking number and she will tell the carrier to keep an eye out for it. What does that even mean? How can he keep an eye out for it when he apparently delivered it to someone else's mailbox. I've received mail addressed to my neighbors on occasion. I was not hired to deliver mail so I leave it in my mailbox with a note for the carrier.

    Zip 60652 .....Normally don't write bad review. Last year good service for what it is. The mail person is wonderful. The problem started @ 8 months ago, when the normal mail person isn't in, due to circumstances, the service breaks down bad. Example this week, staying home because of Covid19, so am home ALL day. Decided 2 week ago order things we needed online, 5 items total. This week, normal mail person is out. 5 items supposedly delivered, am at home. Where not delivered, but tracking says yes, NOT. Went 3 times to post office asked and told " will be on truck out for delivery" NOT. Spoken to 3 individuals, kind and assistive, but not getting packages or mail??? Am out time and money spent on products not recvd.Really need to review the service there. Most mail persons are hardworking good people, BUT this system here is broken down and getting worse. Update; After all the things about Covid. Mail delivery has gotten better. Still occasionally some issues but getting better.

    This post office is unprofessional and they never deliver packages. Although your tracking may say delivered you never receive your package. Needs new management and employees. If we as a neighborhood stick together continue to file a complaint against them for each occurrence something will be done!
