The Glenview Post Office could really use some improvement. While a few employees are friendly and try to help, the overall experience is often frustrating — long lines, slow service, and limited staffing make even simple errands take much longer than they should.
The parking situation doesn’t help either, and the self-service machines aren’t always working properly. It’s not terrible, but it’s definitely not smooth or efficient. Hopefully, with a bit more organization and attention to customer service, this location could get back on track.

5 star service. This is the best post office in the area. I frequent here Mon-Sat. Knowledgeable and friendly staff, always happy to help with a smile. Even under pressure, they're efficient with moving the lines when it gets busy, and most times I can get in and out quickly without any hassle. Most importantly, I get a smile and a thank you for stopping in. I always feel welcome to return again and again.

I was expecting staff who were surly, irked, and overall unfriendly. I received Daiquiri (sp?), who was the literal opposite +100 of my first sentence. She was so helpful, cheerful, competent, and amazing that I will tell people who live on the southside of Chicago to go to Niles to handle their post office needs. I am going to post this review on multiple sites so people can get the competent and kind governmental services our taxes pay for, and so that Daiquiri and her co-worker (I didn't work with him, but heard him working very kindly with 2 confused customers) receive raises if this federal administration would allow that in 2025.
