“Very small post office on the grounds of Techny. There's a handful of parking spaces outside. It's a short walk to get inside the building. I'm giving them 5 stars because the woman behind the counter was so kind to me as I stumbled through some forms I had to fill out. Patience is a virtue and this was one total employee who had it!”
“I have a suggestion . I am at Skokie post office almost every morning , it would be nice if they would have coffee , even a coffee vending machine .
Otherwise great service , nice helpful employees .”
“A wonderful post office superbly operated by Naomi. Exceptionally kind, gracious and a credit to the postal service. Naomi, is exactly the sort of operator everyone should aspire to be and one USPS should treasure. She makes the experience hands down the best experience in the Chicagoland area. Her, and Victor are both wonderful, and I'm grateful for all their support no matter the complexity of the postal problem you have!”

“By far, this is the most helpful, friendly, and well organized post office I have ever lived near. They routinely go out of their way to help you mail a package (even when you don't have the right tape or box), choose the correct shipping class and even will run out to the truck to retrieve your mother in law's Easter package because Yours Truly forgot to put her room # on the address. It is a jewel of a post office and I hope it stays open for a long long time.”
“This place is a real gem with a lots of unique items. Jim is absolutely professional, knowledgeable and honest person. I received the top highest price. Awesome day, happy day! Highly recommend it !”

“idk why this location has such low ratings, I've used this post office my whole life- the staff is always very friendly and very helpful. yes, sometimes the line gets backed up but the workers are always going as quick as they can.”
“I love this post office! I don't live in Highwood but I go to this location as you get a small-town feel, the clerks are friendly, funny, helpful and efficient.”
“I was helped out by Henry today at this location. He was very kind and welcoming. All of my questions were answered and the process of everything that I was there for went very smoothly.”

“One of the staff stayed out during the start of her lunch break to help me cancel a package I had dropped in the drop box earlier that day. She had no obligation to help me but chose to anyways, incredibly incredibly nice and made my day.”

“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.”
“This post office is my favorite, as long as you go through the week. If you go on saturday you will have opposite experience. The lady that works on the weekend does anything she can to do as little as possible. Through the week the employees are so nice and make sure to put the tracking, shipping labels and or postage on my packages themselves ensuring it is done right, weekend lady makes you figure it out and then gets rude when it isnt how she says its supposed to be and says cant be sent that way. I even watched her make a woman black out and rewrite the address because it was "upside down" as if they keep your packages neatly stacked and dont just throw them around. Im pretty sure on that rare occasion they need to turn or flip a box to read address ?? will never visit on a saturday again if i can avoid it.”

“I see a lot of bad reviews but I've been here probably about 10 times and generally don't really have any issues. And definitely not any issues that would not happen at any other post office I've been to. Yeah the workers might not have a fake customer service Smile on 24/7 but don't really expect it, they help with the transaction and then we're done”
“Dee is the absolute best! She has helped me countless times with shipping for my small business. Her advice on how to pack and ship my wares has saved me tons on money! LOVE. LOVE. LOVE HER!”
“Beautiful facility...same but different sleepy, snarky & sometimes snotty public servants who deserve...
Empathy, grace, a gift card & patience.
It'll bring you good fortune in the future!”
“I understand that people can get a little crazy at the post office, but our experience getting passports was very smooth and seamless!
Our family of 4 got it all done in less than an hour and the young lady doing the paperwork and taking the pictures was very nice and helpful. Again everyone's experience will vary and at such a busy place, but can't complain!”
“Staff are helpful and pleasant. Despite the Trump and Dejoy administrations attempts to destroy and privatize the USPS the people who work there continually strive to do their best.”
“I'm new to this location, and receive excellent customer service. The young lady who assisted me was very helpful when it came to helping me to set up my PO Box, as well as offering me suggestions on how to locate my missing mail.”
“I went to this location about half an hour before closing on a Friday (I know ... it was the earliest I could get there) in order to send a package of documents internationally. I had reviewed the options online, but still wasn't sure what the best shipping option would be. The USPS worker who helped me was patient with my questions and informative in her explanation of the options; she explained clearly the delivery timelines for different methods and which offered signature on delivery (which I needed). I stepped aside to complete the necessary forms; because of the time of day, of course, several people passed through while I was there, and she was able to help everyone get through the line before closing. (There was one woman who came in and did try to skip the whole line and went straight to the counter while there was a customer being assisted, and the USPS worker -- rightly! -- told her she'd need to get in line like everyone else.) Post offices get a bad rap for service, but I wouldn't hesitate to come back to this location for help with any shipping in the future.”
“There is a great, great, great lady working Tuesday afternoons! She really made my day! I do not know her name but she is very helpful and knowledgeable. All other employees should go to her for training. A lot of other people are giving negative comments and negative ratings, but I think they are the ones with the bad attitudes, because this post office was a wonderful experience. The lady working here really restores my faith in the American Postal Service.”
“I came to the Lynnwood location to drop off bulk mail, something I’ve been doing for many years at various locations. I know the routine and what’s required at each one. However, a newer person in the back seemed determined to do things differently. They told me I needed to pay for something that was already paid and directed me to another area for help—where the staff had no idea what was going on.
Thankfully, I was eventually able to find a supervisor who, along with another supervisor, quickly understood the situation and handled it perfectly. Meanwhile, the original person who sent me on this wild goose chase stood by, telling others I was doing it wrong.
Let’s be clear—I’ve been handling bulk mail professionally for a long time. Nothing significant has changed with this process in all these years. Some people just need to come down off their high horse and stop acting like they’re reinventing the wheel just because they’re newer at this location I am guessing. Or they have been there a long time, and it is just crabby, at everybody. Even at their supervisors.
I always say enjoy life.
AND IF YOU DON'T LIKE YOUR JOB, JUST QUIT.”
“1:50 Saturday afternoon Sent a package and the clerk was patient with me and very helpful. In and out, including buying a mailer, packing it and addressing it, in about 6 minutes. Other customers seemed happy too.”
“I had a tricky situation with a looping package (due to an error in reading multiple labels, a fault of my own). I was concerned I might need to claim it as a loss but Mr. Paige deduced the problem, tracked its every whereabout, the exact problem, and had it tracked directly to the post office. I had it the very next day! It was like magic. I truly didn’t expect so much from a post office. Many times you leave disappointed. Thank you for your incredible service and your help, Mr. Paige!”
“I recently needed to set up a PO Box and visited this post office. The paperwork seemed a bit confusing at first, but the manager, David, was absolutely wonderful. He was incredibly patient, took the time to help me fill everything out correctly, and made sure I got my keys without any stress. Excellent customer service! Thank you so much, David!”
“I usually have an unpleasant experience at the post office. I live near downtown so I was in this neighborhood & went to the post office & can easily say I’ll be coming back here.I was lucky enough to have Debra take care of me to send out my package & she was wonderful! Super helpful & sweet! Need more employees like her!:)”
“Everyone is always very friendly at this location. Always willing to help people, only downside is not enough employees, however the two employees at the counter work very fast and keep the line moving.”
“The line was to the door which is absolutely ridiculous! They had one person working. 10 minutes later two more women popped out to help. The line moved much quicker. I didn’t get the name of the Hispanic woman at the counter who helped me she did a phenomenal job. She was courteous, patient, and answered all of my questions and helped to put a dent in the long line.”
“Woman I dealt with was friendly after I genuinely said “Good morning” and asked her how her day was. Had a quick conversation about the weather warming up and a smile.”
“I had a great experience recently at the Morton Grove Post Office (June 2024). In order to officially change my mail forwarding address due to a move, I needed to go into the Post Office to confirm my identity, old mailing address, and new mailing address. Al at the front desk was great. He explained the process thoroughly and what I needed to complete it. He was also EXTREMELY patient when I was attempting to shuffle though my email looking for my leases and an email from USPS that I needed. I really appreciate how helpful and calm he was during the whole process and it was very seamless. Thanks Al!!!”
“While headed to the Green Bay Trail for a run, I found this United States Postal Service (Glencoe Post Office) to be the closest near the trail while enroute. At the time, I had an eBay shipment that needed to be shipped out. I took a liking to its cute building which sat in a classy looking area nearby Glencoe Village Hall right in the heart of Glencoe! Via Village Ct, I was able to veer quickly into a parking spot rather than entering off of Hazel Ave. Along with its cute building exterior, the inside environment gave off a very positive vibe rather than a negative one. As I waited to be seen, I adored the postal clerks' interaction with a customer ahead of me, who had a young daughter. The interaction appeared so genuine which put a smile on my face immediately while in line and as I moved towards the counter to be helped. As someone who visits post offices regularly whether it be for Poshmark or eBay shipments, the postal clerk presented one of the friendliest vibes I have ever encountered at any post office location.After giving the clerk my package, he questioned me if it had anything liquid or hazardous inside then explained to me the shipment options for my package which I always choose the cheapest, hehe. As a Poshmark Ambassador on Poshmark, and someone with a 100% positive feedback rating on eBay as long as the package gets to my buyer I am always satisfied. I was on my way in minutes. I am terrible at doing the surveys pertaining to my visits at post offices, but best believe I always share some sort of a review. Being that I had a great experience, I would gladly utilize this United States Postal Service (Glencoe Post Office) again when in the area. ~ Embrace the journey. ~Thomas G”
