“Probably the best post office in the United States. There's only two postal clerk windows and PO boxes. No route carriers. PO personnel are expertly trained.”
“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!”

“Lovely staff always. I accidentally dropped off a package in the 24hr drop box with the wrong label on it. Oh no! I came in when the post office opened to hopefully correct my error. The staff member (I forgot her name) was kind enough to go through all the packages to find mine. There were a lot... I had shipped four separate items, and she got them all for me. I found the one with the wrong label, and was able to put the correct label on it. Then shipped it off! This was totally my mistake. So I greatly appreciate all the help I received. Thank you!”

“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.”

“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”

“Octavia handles passport applications and she was amazing! I came to this specific location based on reviews about her. Great customer service, personable, and very friendly. If you are going to apply for a passport, I suggest making an appointment at this location. She will take great care of you. Thank you, Octavia!
You can complete your application online and print it out (this is the easier option). Otherwise, you can fill it out in person when you arrive.
Be sure to bring a valid ID or driver’s license, along with your birth certificate or a certified copy. They will need to send the birth certificate in with your passport application, but don’t worry, it will be returned to you.
Also, bring a credit or debit card to pay the passport and processing fees. If you plan to have your photo taken there, bring some cash as well, just in case they only accept cash for photos.
If you come prepared, the process should be quick and painless!”
“I went to apply for my daughter's passport. Sheri helped me; she's a very sweet and patient woman. She explains everything carefully and clearly. Thank you, Sheri.”
“Malik is absolutely the best! He is attentive to details, very thoughtful, hard-working and a nice person all around. He sets the bar so high and deserves every raise/benefit there is!”
“I had the pleasure of working with Gale on a package of mine that was having issues being shipped from my post office. She followed up with me everyday on updates and eventually got it worked out to be delivered. She was so great to work with, almost would'nt mind if another package was delayed going to her location! haha. Thanks again Gale!”
“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!”
“This post office can get pretty busy, and there usually is only one person cashiering, and sometimes even doing passports on the side, but this is not the employees’ fault, its whoever does the scheduling, staffing, or hiring.
Anyways, Pat and Michael are always there to help with a smile even though they are usually a one-person team dealing with so much by themselves. Thank you both keep up the good work!”
“Always pleasant, always patient & fun. Serious about their jobs. Ev one very knowledgeable. Will ask
another sales assoc. for clarity if needed. I've been going to this PO for 15 yrs. Always got great service. Didn't rush me picking out specialty stamps either.”
“Today my parents applied for their U.S. passports, and we are extremely satisfied with the experience. The staff was very kind, professional, and helpful. The whole process was quick and smooth.
The Vernon Hills USPS truly stands out compared to other locations. I have never experienced unfriendly service or any difficulties there.”
“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.”

“It gets busy here like any USPS but I was very impressed with Pat. She was running the place solo and was swamped, but was super friendly and on top of her job on a whole different level. Super impressive, she should absolutely be in charge of that place.”
“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.”
“Isaiah who works there went well above and beyond to help me Track my package!! This shipment went from Boston to Colorado, then through their facility in Illinois, to New Jersey, back to Massachusetts where it belonged! I Spoke with many different people along the way, including the Vendor who sold me my package and it was Isaiah who followed up and called me numerous times to assist and update me the whole way through, until my package finally arrived! Bravo to Isaiah, he's the man! Exceptional customer service and well done sir! I truly appreciated your help!”
“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 had a great experience shipping a few packages with Kendra today. Some of my items had incorrect addresses, and instead of just handing them back to me (which has happened at other locations), Kendra immediately pulled up her phone to help me find the right information. She suggested the best shipping options and went above and beyond to ensure I was taken care of. I really appreciate finding people like her who prioritize a great customer experience. Highly recommended!”
“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!”
“Went in today and Mary behind the counter was so pleasant and helpful. Some of the best customer service I have seen in a long time. She was very kind to an older gentleman as well in helping him to get his package all set.”
“Do your own experience.
Everybody was nice with me from the officer lady on the entrance to the lady's loading me. she was quick no more than 30 mn in dock.”
“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!!!”
“Go to lover level for delivery do not go on the ramp. Park on any available dock from 15-20 . Bring your bills inside and put safety vest on. They unloaded me in 10 minutes”
“Postmaster Matthew and his team are very accommodating, happy to help and very pleasant. I came with my daughter’s wedding invitations twice today and Matthew said he’d help me both times! Great customer service!”
