“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!”

“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!”
“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;).”
“I love this location even though I don't live in Lake Bluff. It's on the way to my workplace, which is very convenient for me. It's a small facility, bright, and it feels easy to get in and feel safe. Service personnel are friendly and knowledgeable; the process is fast, and waiting time is usually very short.”

“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 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.”
“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!”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“Over the years I have always received amazing help from this annex. The people I speak with are always patient and do their absolute best to help me out. Due to my own error, I put the wrong address on a package and Ebony has been tremendously helpful in locating the package. Ebony always picks up the phone and works tirelessly to make sure we all get our mail correctly. I am very grateful for all the hard work that Ebony and the entire team at this annex does!”
“We're midway between Lake Zurich and Mundelein but we almost always go to Mundelein because we feel the service is better and we don't have confidence in the Lake Zurich office. We lived in Long Grove for 25 years and weren't impressed with the lake Zurich branch, we are much happier with Mundelein and especially our delivery guy Andrew.”
“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 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.”
“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!”
“The staff at this location is always very helpful and are procedurally focused. The are knowledgeable and efficient. The line always moves so the wait is not long.”

“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!”
“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.”

“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.”
“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!”
“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.”
“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.”
“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”
“I have to disagree with the people who are rating this post office low. I have never had an incident that I was treated rudely.
Only once did I get a side eye from somebody, and that was because she was helping me and the guy next to her said something to me, and I began talking to him while I was at her window which was rude on my part.
The employees are always nice to me. Sure there are times where you can tell they might be overwhelmed or are alone at the desk with a line. We’re all human.
But I have witnessed people treat them like garbage. Angry because they didn’t get their mail and took it out on the people at the desk as if they have anything to do with it. But always, I see them trying to help and not losing their cool. Another person came in angry, because he didn’t get his mail when he moved, and the agent at the desk asked him if he filled out the change of address form, He lost his mind and insisted he did, but then asked how he can do it and the agent told him he could do it online and before the agent could tell him “OR” he could fill out a form, the guy called him incompetent and stormed out of the post office.
I think people need to really think about how they are approaching the people working behind the desk. I can assure you, you probably caused any negativity you might have received.”

“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!”
