Came on a Saturday morning to have a letter mailed and receive tracking. Went inside at 9am and waited over 30 minutes for an attendant. No one ever showed up.

I usually don’t go to the Glendale Hts postoffice but I did today. Good thing I double check my label because there was ZERO adhesive to hold it to my package. If I didn’t check the label would have fallen off before the package hit the bottom of the box!! All the money our government has; ya think they can afford reliable labels!!!! Your location was convenient and I love our Roselle location so ya get 3 Stars. Lucky I had my tape on hand.
