The Mail Center

Excellent place to mail packages. Bruce and staff could not be any nicer if they tried. They know what they are doing and always get you the best deal possible. I have never had any trouble with any of my packages and l have been using them for years. And most important of all they are honest. I over payed on my last package by accident and they tracked me down to make sure I got my money back!

This place is way too out dated and slow. I had to mail my passport to consulate and Bruce didn’t even know to print shipping label. PLEASE DONT GO THIS LOCATION (this is not a FedEx location) AND GO TO FEDEX LOCATION. FedEx may take responsibility to do it right and if they do it wrong they will do something about it. With this place I had to waste my time and drive there multiple times to get things corrected. They don’t have advance technology (they claim to be market since 20 years). They need to upgrade their system to make and do right things. Note: they charge more than FedEx (2 day shipping charged me $ 17 whereas FedEx charge $ 9 for the same envelope and shipment. They don’t have system to email shipping label, they print the shipping label and take a picture using phone and send it to customers.

I totally concur with the previous reviews. Bruce and his staff have always been more than courteous to me. I once even shipped a desktop computer and they made sure it was wrapped and packed so it could make the 550 mile trip to its destination.
You don’t have to wait in a line like you do at USPS. And their rates are reasonable too!!!

Bruce is the Proprietor and he rocks. I have been using The Mail Center for many years and I know he will get my packages and letters where it needs to be and on-​time at a good price.
The customer service is awesome and he truly cares about his customers!

I’ve been using The Mail Center to pack and ship almost everything I send out for my small business. I have never had a single missed or damaged shipment, and they are some of the nicest people I’ve met.
Friday, I had to get a power adapter for my daughter’s laptop. She’s at college in Minnesota and had to have it by Sat. morning — just before finals week! Even with all their resources, neither CDW, Apple, or Best Buy (online or by phone) could get it there for Saturday delivery. I picked one up at a local store, took it to The Mail Center to be packed and shipped, and my daughter received it today, Saturday morning via FedEx.
Thanks for providing such great, friendly service!

Found this place by accident, but glad I did. It was cheaper and the gentleman was extra friendly. Will go back for sure!

This place rocks. If you are like me and you get sick of playing the «will the UPS guy show or won’t he show» game, or has had their mail thrown over their fence into the snow, or has had too many delicious wine club shipments sent back because there was nobody to sign for them, or hates having personal packages sent to work, The Mail Center gets top marks.
— You can rent a mail box at a reasonable price and access it ²⁴⁄₇!
— You get a street address, not just a PO Box #.
— They will accept packages from all major mail services on your behalf. Just pick them up during business hours if they don’t fit in your box.
— Sell a bunch of c**p on fleabay? Just drop it off and they will take care of all the shipping for you. Just settle up later.
Bruce who runs the place is one of the nicest guys you’ll meet and will recognize you the second time you come in! This place is well run, very convenient and extremely reasonable. If you live or work in Vernon Hills, go in and they’ll help you avoid a ton of hassles from the incompetent USPS and the inconvenient UPS!
