US Post Office

Yelling door from the back room is not the same as answering the caller service door that is supposed to be answered starting at 6:30 am weekdays. Very poor service.
I have to track down packages w/​delivery confirmation on a regular basis & front counter staff is painfully slow.

This is my favorite, and «home» Post Office. Not only is it conveniently located just off of Highway 55 and Winnetka, but they offer a reasonably-​sized parking lot – something that many branches can’t say these days.
The staff is helpful, although I will say that the lines during peak times can be ridiculous. Wait times typically arent bad, but if you arrive during the lunch hour or if you try to squeeze in your trip after work, you may have an issue. They also offer a separate drive-​through area with several post boxes.
They have an abundance of free Priority labels and boxes, even after hours (this is nice for anyone who does a lot of shipping, like myself). The 24 hour lobby is also amazing because it has what I consider to be the BEST feature the US Post Office has developed in recent years – the automated post machine. Ive used this machine all hours of the day and night. It allows you to bypass lines and even mail packages when you remember something last-​minute at 3am. The machine doesnt have international capability yet, but provides other features including stamps. The only other branch that has a machine (that Im aware of) is Roseville. However, Im sure you can look this up on the USPS website.

I highly recommend that you do not use this post office location. On more than one occasion I could’ve taken a one hour nap being third in line. Unfortunately the woman behind the counter, at least on Saturdays, chomps her gum and moves at a snails pace as if there is no care in the world. It’s no wonder that the post office is losing the money that they are… People left to go to what I could assume was UPS or other shops. I also now understand the term «going postal.»
