It's always busy but service is quick. All cashiers are knowledgeable and somewhat personable

I was in there a short while ago. One clerk and people all the way to the door, which is typical for most post offices lately. But this clerk was on fire. She got us out very quickly. I was extremely impressed. So kudos and brava to Ashley. She needs an 'S' across her chest because she really kept her line MOVING! SUPER CLERK! MSo to the powers that be- she deserves a bump in pay or something. And instead of being harried or rude, she remained pleasant when most might've been tearing their hair out. Great job Ashley! Excellent work. THANK YOU.

I had a very positive experience at the Merrillville Post Office, and I feel it deserves recognition for its friendly and expedient service. From the moment I entered, the atmosphere was orderly and welcoming, which immediately helped ease the usual stress that can come with postal errands.
What truly stood out was the professionalism of the clerk who assisted us. They were courteous, knowledgeable, and highly attentive, anticipating our needs before we even had to ask. This level of awareness made the entire process smoother and noticeably faster. Instead of feeling rushed or overlooked, we felt genuinely helped, which is not always the case in busy service environments.
Despite a line forming, the clerk handled each customer efficiently while maintaining a calm and pleasant demeanor. Their ability to multitask, explain options clearly, and prepare necessary materials in advance significantly reduced wait times for everyone. It was clear they valued both accuracy and customer time.
Overall, this visit exceeded expectations. Efficient operations combined with friendly, professional service made for a refreshingly positive experience. If you’re looking for a post office where staff are proactive, respectful, and committed to helping customers quickly, the Merrillville Post Office is a solid choice.

I put in for USPS to hold my mail about a month ago. I went to pick my mail up from the Merrillville post office today and they didn't know where a months worth of mail went. The lady said it still be with carrier, why wasn't it dropped off and held at the office?

Update on the passport service. Still no change in the process. They should consider removing the passport services from this location. My appointment is at 1030am and of course no one is here to service us. They are in a meeting so i don’t understand why they would allow appointments if they knew no one could service you. There is also another customer waiting with my family whom also have an appointment. Speaking with other patriots of the post office agree that the service is a consistent let down.
