“Give them a break! They’re grossly understaffed! It’s not like the old days, guys! I’ve never been treated poorly. They’re working their fannies off. I feel very fortunate to have a local post office that offers so many services and so many hours of operation. Be careful what you wish for!”
“Always a smooth experience here. The employees are hardworking and professional. I’ve never had an issue with my packages or mail from this branch. Definitely my go-to post office in the area!”
“It was only my second time ever shipping something and the associate assisting me (I wish I had gotten her name) was incredibly helpful. She walked me through the boxing and shipping process, gave me suggestions to keep things affordable, and was patient and very kind. I would definitely come back and she definitely deserves a raise 10/10”
“I had a change of address and I had to open up a post office box Porsche was extremely helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. She really knows her stuff. She’s a really good USPS employee/team member. She should be commended on her service and given a big fat raise!!!”

It was incredibly fast and easy and alot cheaper.
Thank you Travon”

“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!”

“Staff is always friendly whenever I come to sent out mail or if I have questions they are happy to help, and self service drop offs are easy too. Not sure why this place is rated so poorly, I haven't had a single bad experience yet”
“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!”

“Meg was wonderful and made a stressful post-office visit so much easier. She was patient, helpful, and guided us through everything when we weren’t sure what to do. We really appreciated her kindness and professionalism.”
“I was waiting for my package this afternoon. A female customer walked in, and even though there were other customers waiting in line—including me—she went up to a female employee who was assisting another customer. She asked about an “international package,” demanded a label, and even after the employee explained that the machine wasn’t working, she kept asking the same question three times... That female customer really has no regard for public etiquette—doesn’t she see that other people are waiting in line? She’s talking about “professionalism,” but she should practice what she preaches first... Please—she didn’t even stand in line properly and cut in front of others, while a single female employee was handling all the waiting customers by herself. Everyone else saw it too, yet she’s acting like the employee didn’t help her… It seems like she came here just to stir up trouble. She’s talking as if she were the one who was wronged… wow...”

“Veronica was absolutely amazing. She not only went above and beyond to help us out, she caught several mistakes in our passport application that we were able to fix before it went out. Thank you!
Post office itself was clean and quiet. Loved it.”
“The lady (6/27 @11am) was helpful & kind + knowledgeable. And a gentleman (on a different day) was very helpful!
Unfortunately ran out of Mohammed Ali stamps. Location is clean and organized.
Highly recommend”
“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.”

If customers bring boxes the staff will weigh the package and ask customers is there any valuables inside the box. The staff will offer a receipt and on the receipt will show where the package is being delivered.”

Luckily the lady at the front desk gave me a marker to fill it out and gave me options for sending. Paid and got out as fast as I could write. Thanks.”

“Andrea is really helpful and knowledgeable when it comes to shipping packages out.
She is also very organized
This is probably one of the best USPS offices you can go to. Usually there isn’t much of a line either. I would recommend this facility.”
“Both of the people working there were amazing, friendly and did their best to help everyone who walked in. I've been to the Barrington USPS many times, and have always had a good experience”
“I’ve had consistently great experiences at this post office, and it’s become my go-to location for both everyday mailing needs and more important services. We regularly drop off prepaid packages here, and the process is always quick, smooth, and hassle-free. The staff keeps things moving efficiently, so even when it’s busy, we’re usually in and out without any problems.
One of the standout experiences was renewing our passports here. The process was clearly explained, organized, and handled professionally from start to finish. The employees were knowledgeable and patient, making sure everything was completed correctly, which gave us a lot of confidence. Even better, we received our renewed passports much faster than expected, which was a pleasant surprise and really shows how well things are handled.
The overall atmosphere is welcoming and professional, and the team consistently provides helpful, friendly service. It’s nice to have a reliable post office where you know your packages and important documents are being handled with care. Whether you’re mailing something simple or handling more complex services like passports, this location makes the entire experience easy and stress-free. Highly recommended!”
“Mail pickup at the outside drive-thru drop box is at 6:30 p.m. Monday through Saturday. Wish I could add this information to the hours, or services but Google has no capability for me to do so.”
“I’ve always had great experiences with this post office. The people are super friendly and always treat me with respect unlike other government owned places like the dmv. To be honest I would think this is a private owned business with how good the service is compared to other public businesses.”
“Dropped off a labeled signature package here, didn't get a scan for a week. I suppose this could have been partly my mistake because I didn't ask for a receipt, but either way. I called the postmaster and the missing mail line, package tracking updated 2 days later.
Not too fast, and I did have to ask, but the postmaster was very kind on the phone, and my issue did end up getting resolved just a day after I spoke to her, and all things considered, pretty fast for government work.
4 stars. Would most likely use them again.”
“This USPO location in Schaumburg (behind Capital Grille) is a shining example of how a post office SHOULD work! Compared to the one on Schaumburg Rd. where every employee there is miserable and spreads the same misery to all the customers.
It’s a night and day difference. My recommendation is for you to drive the extra mile and go to this location for service. Yes, there was a little wait but the service is exceptional. I’ll be going there for my postal needs from now on!”
