USPS

This place is very convenient even if they have short working hours. The staff here is very nice, especially a lady name Brenda! She is always there and answer all your questions and don’t mind helping you because I have had bad experience with usps workers before like when they try to rush you and just bad attitude but not here. Will continue to come here since I stay around the corner.

Though conveniently located, the hours leave more to be desired. This branch is open M-​F, 11am-​4pm. Strange.

I’m waiting on a package in the mail, I tracked it and said it was delivered to my house the day before. I was off work that day and received no package in the mail so that’s a lie. The lady on the phone told me to call back Monday when the mail carrier was in and did so only for know one to answer the phones at any location! I’m so frustrated and just need that package! Can someone please answer the phone?

I was going to update my review for awhile and am just getting to it. I started going here despite my one bad experience, since it’s so close and convenient to where I live. The employees have been polite and helpful, which is why I was going to give them 4 stars, despite the limited hours this particular business is open, and not on Saturday at all. They were great until today. I found out stamps were 49 cents, and casually mentioned that I thought 49 cents was too much for sending a letter. A rude man behind the counter said «Wow, you people don’t appreciate anything. That’s not much at all. You people don’t appreciate anything!!» And then kept arguing with me, like a rude idiot. Well, excuse me, Mr. well paid postal worker. You are lucky to simply have a job, unlike a lot of people in this economy. What a poor, ignorant way to treat customers.

Horrible service both times I’ve been there in the last 2 months. Just because the hours say 11 – 4 doesn’t mean they will be there. Typical postal worker demeanor. The old man needs to go work bagging groceries if his life is so miserable at the PO.

In general, I’m an internet transaction type of gal, so, was pleasantly surprised when I had to actually go to the post office to ship a package, registered international priority mail, to China, today. My printer was down — WAH! Had never done international shipping before, thru USPS, and needed assistance. Fortunately, the counter associate was friendly, patient, most helpful, and had a lively personality. Wish I had caught her name. Her craggypants BOSS, on the other hand, not so much. He kept interrupting our transaction and acted as though he REALLY needed a few more hours of sleep — WTF! Anywhoo, got the transaction done without any major, typical crappy attitude from a US postal employee, in Chicago — YAY! Will be happy to do business there again. :D

I’ve been to many post offices in my day, but I think these were the nicest clerks I’ve ever met!

Update hours: open at 11:00a.m. Good to know when you have to send correspondence to the IRS: delivery confirmation please & thank you!

CALL FIRST! Just because it’s 1:20 p.m. on a Tuesday (2÷21÷12) and they are supposed to be open doesn’t mean they will be. I went there and another guy was there today at 1:20 p.m. and the door was locked and no note was left.
I understand USPS budget cuts and there is only 1 person working there, and they need a lunch break, but why can’t you just modify your hours to be closed for lunch from 1 – 2 p. m? Don’t just leave people hanging. Total B.S.

Shhhhhh!!! I can’t believe I’m about to share this with the my fellow Chicagoan, but that’s just the kind of sweet gal I am.
Finding this post office was a godsend. I used to have to trek down to the main branch in Lincoln Square on Lawrence and Campbell, yeah you know the one. The one that sucks your soul and then immediately feeds it to the dark overlord him/​her-​self, Satan. Anytime I needed to do anything at the post office, I would break out in a hive induced sweat at just the thought of it, and seriously want to call in sick from life.
Back in 2009, I went into the aforementioned blood-​pressure rising PO for some stamps for my wedding invites. After a long wait in line, they handed over the basic flag stamps. No, I’m looking for 60 cent, pretty wedding stamps. They shook their head, and asked if I wanted «these» boring ones (which I did not). The only good thing that ever came to be from them, they referred me to this Q branch where I encountered a life changing event: everyone that works at this branch is a sweetheart!
The employees at this branch greet you with a smile, there’s never a line more than 2 people (but I rarely, if ever encounter one), and they have cute stamps! Bonsai trees, pretty flowers, cute animals, you name it they have it. I recently went through a stationary shortage — who knew cute stamps would make me want to write more letters?
Shipping packages is easy peasy too. They have most of the shipping supplies you’ll need here as well.
Hours: M-​F 8:30 — 4:30. Sometimes they decide to take lunch and close, so keep this in mind if stopping over your lunch hour.
Parking: Metered street, no lot.
