“This is the best USPS location I have ever been! Even dough the place is always busy, it’s clean, FAST, organized and the staff is super polite e helpful! Great experience every time !”
“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”
“Best Post office anywhere. It’s the hidden gem of the Northshore. Lines are minimal or next to nothing, service is top notch. Clerks and Post Master there are polite, have manners and treat you like a human unlike the rest of the post offices around!! Anyone else that reviews this place and gives a bad review is most likely a hater. I saw someone post that this office randomly closes. That’s a total like! Especially at the times he posted it closed. I’m a frequent customer as in everyday bc my company sends me there everyday without fail at around 3:45 to process certifieds and this office clearly states it’s operating times and definitely is open and up and running EVERYDAY minus Saturdays past 3:50pm! The office does close M-F from 1pm-2-pm for lunch but for folks that know how to read signs they would see that clearly outside!! And the sign they put up inside at the entrance of the second door. DUHHHHH…”
“Naomi is fantastic. The others who work there are wonderful friendly knowledgeable individuals who if it were under my control I would give them a raise. If you need a post office there is no better one than this.”
“Easily the best post office I’ve been to in a while. I normally go between 8-10am and it’s always been quick. They are also pretty friendly. I’ve even gone during the holidays and it’s been an easy time.”
“Had a lost package for almost a week but in inquiry on Saturday night Monday morning got a call from North Chicago that they located it and would get it to me within 2 days and that’s exactly what they did”
“I had a postal money order for about $700 that could not be used for the purpose intended so I needed to have the money refunded. Lisa at the Highland Park Post Office is my hero. She took my phone number and called when they had enough cash on hand to make the refund. It took quite a few months because they rarely have that much cash but she faithfully kept my number. THANK YOU, LISA! Other post offices misinformed me. They told me I had to get the refund at a bank, which is not true. Lisa was right and went above and beyond the call of duty to help.”
“Most reviews are old. Service is good, workers do their job well and efficiently. Gets busy at times, and the office is small. So, plan trips accordingly if you’re low on time.”
“The customer service is #1 at this post office! I always can depend on my packages being delivered with care, and promptly. Any questions or concerns I have are always answered. Jazzy is my favorite clerk;).”
“The customer service is impeccable, knowledgeable and courteous. The negative reviews are posted by self-centered morons that don't understand how the post office works.”
“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!”
“In regards to my visit today everything went great! Keoshia and the other employee at the counter were very helpful in guiding us through sending a priority mail package and telling us where the materials we needed were. Made the process go by very quickly.”
“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”
“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.”
“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.”
“5- Stars for counter service as Moung was lovely, kind, and cost conscious of the best rate to help me send a package.3-stars for the out of service self-kiosk for the last 3-4 days as I needed to wait in line when it's much easier for me to send my own packages with the kiosk.Overall, clean location with friendly postal workers when needed.”
“I read through the reviews and I don’t understand how so many people are having problems with this post office. The girls are wonderful and I’ve never once seen them be even remotely rude. I’ve worked for the post office, most customers don’t understand certain rules that have to be followed. Doesn’t matter who it upsets. Although I do know that there use to be a girl named Janet and there’s this other one named Grisel who could learn to be kinder, but the other two clerks are so so sweet. If people are having problems i can only imagine it’d be one of those two. People need to stop giving this post office a bad name just because they didn’t like the answers they received.”
“The vitriol toward this place is - to me - incomprehensible...I've been coming here for years and never once had a bad experience. The clerks & carriers are kind as can be, interior of the office is always clean and neatly organized, essentially the ideal village post office. Far too many seem to take the USPS for granted. Once in a blue moon I've had a minor mix-up or two, but nothing worth writing about. Whatever issues the post office has are with upper-level management, not any of the hardworking personnel who are out there every day, keeping the service alive and running.”
“I'm confused about the other reviews. Everytume I needed help I've always received what I needed.
I would like to send a shout out to Armen, who is always friendly, helpful and has a positive attitude.”
“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.”
