I dread coming here! Please avoid if you must. The line is always to the back door. The workers are rude with the customers. I'm here now at the time of opening and there is still a line with only one worker. It's always one worker working the counter while the rest are kidding around in the back. I'd wish someone would come and do something about this location. The workers seem as if they don't want to work. I depend on the post office since I have an online business. I will be checking out other options after today. read more

If you want to file a formal complaint against this post office that actually gets something done, file a formal complaint with the Postmaster General in Washington DC. Here are the details: Via Phone: Call 1-800-275-8777 toll-free to reach the Washington D.C. headquarters of the U.S. postmaster general. The telephone system will prompt you to enter the type of inquiry or complaint you wish to file. Via Mail (good luck with that): Postmaster General U.S. Postal Service 475 L'Enfant Plaza, SW Washington, DC 20260-0010 I filed a complaint with them once via phone when my mail and mail order prescriptions were stolen when my regular carrier was on vacation, and they rained down like a ton of bricks on them my regular mail carrier told me. This post office is still just as bad, actually worse than before which is hard to believe. I went into this same post office - unwillingly - because a package was sent via USPS which I NEVER choose as a shipping method. I went into the post office and as usual there was a line of about 7 people. By the time I got to a window it was a line of about 15 people. You could hear the partying in the back, again, and there were more times when there were NO attendants at the window than when they were there. Every time they went to the back to get a package they were gone between 10 and 20 minutes at a time. To make matters worse, they were "Out of Stamps", at around 2 in the afternoon on a weekday. What the heck?!?!?! A Post Office that doesn't have stamps to sell. It wouldn't surprise me if all the stamps grew legs and walked away from behind the counter, but someone should be minding the store and ordering more inventory when it runs out. Not at Henry McGee though. Please for the love of mankind, just shut this post office down! read more

I hate it here! Be prepared to spend 1 hour just to get 1 package... fingers crossed they didn't lose it...

They should close this post office down Extremely poor customer service and carries allege delivery attempt on hand held devices, but don't. And they don't leave notices. Your package will sit at the PO and eventually get returned to the sender because you don't know it's there, because they don't leave notices. read more

Incredibly slow. I can see people behind the counter, but despite the long line, only one window is open.

Probably the worst delivery and customer service I have experienced in my life. Shipped package to the wrong address. It happens, I wasn't too frustrated about it. So I called this post office since my package was at this location. On the third call, they finally answered their phone and put me on hold for 15 minutes after I hung up. I tried calling back and they would pick up the phone and hang it up. read more

The worst post office. Period. They are terrible. They lose things often and they are not helpful at all. I had to constantly call back about something they said they were investigating. Then, they tell me my package was stolen. That's bull sh*t! They need to shut that place down. ASAP. Ridiculous read more

I am writing this review because I received the worst customer service imaginable. The 2 previous times I have been to this location there has always been a line. Grant it there are EXTREMELY SLOW.....I hope you're never in a hurry....I came to pick up a package and after I gave her the information with the tracking number and address. It took 10 minutes to locate it. I hear the employee having unrelated business conversations with other employees during the whole search.I saw her pass by once during the whole time with no acknowledgement. Customer service is not this location's "strong suit. " It's sad but I recommend traveling all the way to Harrison/ Canal for better service. read more

This is the worst post office I have ever been to in my life and I've encountered many. In the 5 years I've lived in Hyde Park and Kenwood, they have either lost my packages, claimed they delivered them and didn't or put a delivery note on my door when they didn't ring the doorbell. EVERY SINGLE TIME I am in there, there is an angry customer whose package they can't find and I'm in line at a minimum of 45 minutes. They have no updated technology, therefore I have to wait 45 minutes to buy some freaking stamps instead of buying them at an automated machine. I just got a delivery notice when I went out of town on Friday and I almost cried when I realized I have to go there to pick up my package today. read more

Probably one of the most poorly managed USPS offices I've come visit. It's a pile up of people waiting aimlessly at the three windows. Customers are frustrated and upset while using there mobile devices to occupy their time. If I could avoid this visit I would. read more

A colossal exercise in frustration is what you're in store for when going to this post office. Has to be the worst in Chicago. Lines move slowly and the employees move like molasses in the wintertime. Avoid this place, I can't emphasize it any stronger, avoid this place. read more

I always dread picking up a package here. Just a few days ago, I went to pick up a parcel. It was 11:00am. I didn't leave until 12:15. Yep, 12:15PM! They only had one person in the front yet you can hear tons of people in the back laughing, shouting and talking. The location was filled with people simply waiting to just pick up packages and when one customer said something about it, the lady in the front had the nerve to get an attitude about it! Did I mention that no one EVER picks the phone? I called while in the location just to see if anyone would pick up...NOPE! read more

To echo the many other reviews, worst post office of all time. They lost my package. Waited for 20 mins, then the women helping me went on break and I was left waiting for who knows who to help me. Wouldn't be shocked if they just forgot or threw my slip away. read more

Staff are terribly slow and not at all customer focused. Routinely a single queue open and just a bunch of staff milling about in the back. No organization at all so picking up a package still means waiting in a long line for the single slow moving queue. The comparison to UPS or other businesses where lines move quickly and employees are jumping to help when lines lengthen is stark. read more

This is the worst post office I've ever seen. They don't have any since of urgency. The lines are always to the back of the building. There is one lady that seems to work really hard but she can't do it by herself. There's one lady that seems to always be on break or something when I come in because she always return with a pack of cigarettes in her hand and takes her time to re-open her window. Others just tend to walk by without trying to help. And the supervisors seems to only come out when someone request to speak to one. Also I believe that the mail persons don't deliver packages because the Majority of the people that visits this office are people picking up non-delivered packages. Someone needs to see what going on in this office and take action. read more

When you walk into this place, you hear a million (exaggerated to a degree) people behind the walls, yet only one and a half come to the service window. One and a half because one person stays planted at the window, while the other person disappears every so often. I hate that I have to deal with the people there and customer service, I won't elaborate on because it fucking sucks! The ONLY God honest reason why I haven't reported them is because jobs are scarce during these times and I do not want to see another one of my brother and/or sisters in the welfare line.... But if their lack of consideration persists I'll be forced to escort them to the nearest unemployment office... Where they belong! I'd suggest a staff sweep or place the current front end workers to the back and replace them with some younger folks who would be happily employed with the good old USPS read more

EVERYTIME I order something cute it gets lost. My postal guy is a old player style dude w/missing teeth. I went to ask him a question and he told me to wait because he was on a phone call (while he was delivering the mail) he then proceeded to argue with his gf loudly on the sidewalk. SHE probably gets all of my cute things, THEY say "the address was incorrect/package undeliverable" YEAH right! UPS/FED EX sure can deliver and gets my address correct. I called to complain and was put on hold for 30 mins. I NO LONGER DEAL WITH COMPANIES THAT USE THE UNITED STATES POSTAL SERVICE FOR DELIVERIES. I'd rather pay extra, its not worth the stress and trouble. read more

Don't know how else to put it other than this is a typical post office. Horrible service, lazy employees, and today they were out of money orders. I wish I could rate the building because the building itself has awesome architecture in the inside. read more

Though it takes forever to wait. It's still better than the post office at 55th and lake park. At least the attitude of attendants is much better. read more

Carrier delivered a certified mail slip along with my regular Friday... Why she didn't ring door bell is still puzzling me... anyway I take slip to post office Monday morning...oh to my surprise they can't locate my piece of mail...I left my phone number but of course no call back.... Call Tues morning and spoke with Ms Moore who informed me that my mail wasn't lost and if not delivered within 15 days they would return it to sender...then she decided to place me on hold only after telling me who I needed to contact to get this certified letter redelivered....WTH....Why don't I have this letter...matter fact Ms Moore why doesn't the post office have it either??? Next time don't keep me on hold while you go to lunch!""! read more

I don't want this place to close cause it is close to my home. I have not had any problems here. Some do have complaints but some of us expect so much for a cheaper way to send mail. Fed ex and ups is more costly they may want to go there.. read more

This has to be the WORST post office in Chicago!!!! The service is horrible in every area!!!

The worst ...THE ABSOLUTE WORST. I loathe this post office. There is always someone in my home but my packages never get delivered. 98% of the time, we never receive the missed packages slip. I am assuming because they never make the attempt. Now most of my packages are being redirected through the post office. read more

If I could rate them -1 starts I will! These incompetent employees does not know how to do their job. I recently had a problem with them when my package couldn't be delivered due to the fact that my name was not on the mail box. When I tell you the person who told me that almost got punch in her face for telling that idiotic lie, when I'm trying to figure out if name not on the mail box how in the hell I'm still getting actual mail and letters. But the most idiotic thing is when delivering mail and package that these mail man/women seem to not have the brains power to realize that "oh the door bell doesn't work, maybe I should call and let them know I'm down stairs with their package!" You will that would be easy when people like me are waiting all day in the house for their deliveries. I really hope this location get shut down. read more

I gave this post office three, count them, THREE times to re-deliver a package that I was supposed to receive before Christmas. Now two weeks later I still do not have my package. I have been patient, polite and apologetic (for whatever reason) when things seemed hectic or out of sorts at the post office. I read the reviews before calling this establishment and was aware of the complaints filed against them. Therefore, I remained polite and courteous when originally calling (I called eight times before someone finally picked up). It seems as if the negative reviews do not really help improve this post office, which is unfortunate, because I truly believe the workers there can be helpful..however, they are a bit lost. It is terribly depressing that these individuals do not care that they tainted a young ladies christmas due to their laziness, lack of professionalism and all around cruel nature. It was not even about what was INSIDE of the package, it was the stress that followed this entire interaction. Do yourself a favor and avoid this place at all costs. read more

For years I have tolerated poor service/delivery from this station. Today was the final straw: the mailwoman left a notice claiming "attempted delivery," but she NEVER rang my bell. This has happened previously. Regularly mail is placed in wrong boxes, and DAILY she sits in front of the building talking on her cell phone before delivering mail --once I clocked 30-minutes. Huh? So sad. read more

This is by far the worst post office in the Hyde Park area! If you call the office to speak to any of the staff, the automated voice sends you to the operator: which is nothing but a busy signal!!! The delivery carriers of this location are completely incompetent! They don't ring the doorbell to notify customers of deliveries that require signatures, no do they carry out deliveries when they are rescheduled. If you ask me, this post office should be shut down!!! read more

Terrible customer service. I don't even know why these people have jobs. I'm submitting a formal complaint with USPS and will no longer have any of my packages shipped to hyde park so I can avoid them. read more

I don't understand why this post office has such awful reviews. I went in during the week to complete a passport application for the Peace Corps (which is a pretty unusual process), and the clerks were nothing but helpful. They are all incredibly kind, and helped me through the passport process step by step. I would not hesitate before coming back to this post office. The staff are friendly, capable, and hardworking, and I really don't see any base to the claims being made otherwise. read more

This is by far the worst post office ever. It's always only two people working the window and they always have an attitude. I requested for my package to be held at this location and this morning it said it was delivered. I went in and waited in line along with 13 other people (I counted).I get to the window and the semi Bald lady with the red hair immediately dismissed me when I told her my package was delivered there this morning awaiting pick up by me. She told me they'll deliver it tomorrow and called for the next customer. This customer service at this location is terrible and I work for the post office myself and I don't even want to do business with them. Such a shame. read more

This is the worst postal service I have ever experienced! Recently moved here and I have nothing but, Terrible service! Have made several calls as well as my daughter! Spoke to a Ms Dennis who is Very nice and helpful! But other than her they need to revamp this office Asap! read more

My rating is actually no stars! This has got to be the worst Post Office in the whole of Chicago - if not the country? The staff are always rude, lazy and so unhappy with having to serve their customers. If you ask for a supervisor they wilt claim no one is available. I now work to have any deliveries sent to my office so I will not have to be subjected to tolerating the disrespectful service of this Post Office. My mail is often to almost always mis-handled when I have to go into this station. One experience included my being told that my package had been returned - but after demanding to speak with a Supervisor, the package is miraculously found? Really? I am willing to advocate for the closure of this Station. Customers deserve far better treatment - if it can't be provided, then the Station should not exist! read more

Was there today for passport purposes. First was really skeptical about this place because of the negative reviews. Have to say that the service we received was really good. Waiting time wasn't too bad(there were lots of people but all the clerks were working/helping customers the whole time). Wish I knew the clerk's name who helped us today. She was very nice and helpful. It's so good to see someone like her working at USPS. read more

i hate it here!!! this is by far the worst post office i've ever been to..the only consistency here is terrible customer service, long lines, laziness, and bad attitude. oh, yeah they continuously mark packages as delivery attempted when they never attempted. they need to make a change , this has been going on long before covid so dont say "due to covid" . this just gave them justification to do people like this. its literally 15 people in the lobby while 1 window open yet we hear at least 4 people in the back laughing and gossiping. oh, yeah they refuse to get manager/suprervisor.. i will be going up the chain of command because i lost wages time and patience dealing with their incompetence !!!! read more

This is the worst post office I have had to deal with. I hate the place, what nothing I can do. I had a package delivered and the carrier left it to someone in the building, who I don't know. He did not have permission to leave it with anyone, we have large mail boxes for packages that can not fit into the letter box. This carrier comes whenever he likes, so it very hard to catch him at the mail box. When i call about my package I was told i had to call in the morning and talk to the carrier, which is a lie, they answer the phone. Three days later and I can't find my package. So sad. read more

ONE WORD. HORRIBLE. This has been a nightmare. I will NEVER go send, mail, anything at this location. I overnighted a package, it clearly states on the receipt if not delivered "REFUND GUARANTEED". The company I overnighted the package to NEVER received my sensitive documentation. They refused to give me my money back. I have had to file an investigation with customer service AND contact consumer affairs, they keep insisting "someone at the FIRM" received it, it was never received. This is the first time and LAST time I overnight anything from this location. I will be contacting the Sun Times about this. If my item was never received and nobody seems to know where my package is, I should not have to argue with this many people to be given back something that is owed to me for failure of delivery. I wouldn't trust going here with anything else. It's bad enough the workers have horrible customer service, ugly attitude and then they are unreliable. Never again. read more

I have had a relatively good experience with this post office, but my current experience is just another supporting evidence of why this post office has earned the reputation of being a real pain in the buttocks. I asked my mail to be held until January 3 because I was visiting my family over the Christmas break. The good part is, they did hold my mail, as my EMS tracking showed. The bad part is, they have not delivered my held mail, even though they can't find them in the post office. And worst of all, when I tried to call them, no one is answering the phone, not even after it had been ringing for 10 minutes straight. My roommate has had similar experiences. WHY ON EARTH DID THEY EVEN INSTALL A PHONE LINE IF OBVIOUSLY NO ONE IS ANSWERING? I'm almost sure that if I call them and just let the phone ring for the whole day, still no post office employee would answer. Strangely enough, the one time I did call them about how to request the hold mail service, someone did answer, I guess I just lucked out then. read more

This post office has got to contain the laziest, most dishonest, good for nothing employees in the city. I have gone around in circles for days trying to file a complaint and speak with a supervisor over the utterly inept mail carrier who is assigned to my route. Being a unioned and salaried position I imagine she just wants to do as little work as possible to get her route done as quickly as possible. On several occasions my husband and I have had certified mail go undelivered, while we were at home because she doesn't want to take the time to ring the door bell and wait for us to come down and sign for the packages. That might add 2 precious minutes to her workday. We have also had incidents where our amazon prime packages (with their guaranteed delivery dates) be marked as delivered, but we didn't receive them until days later. When my husband or I have to inevitably go to the post office on Saturday to pick up the undelivered packages ( because it is much easier on our letter carrier to have us to her job) the lines are out the door and service is lazy and slow. Now we have to have time sensitive packages delivered to my husband's office, downtown, since we know we can't rely on this scourge of the earth to do it. read more

OMG....I wrote a post 3 years ago on YELP, you would think in most cases people, person and things change in 3 years but not this post office actually it's worse. I don't get a thrill about writing negative statements but I am just exhausted with this post office. I live in a garden/basement unit on the side of my building so I was told they could not and would not deliver my mail because the carrier had to go down stairs making it unsafe for the carrier....okay I had the landlord move my box on the main level of the building with everyone else mailbox, did that work?.....NO. Now I get my neighbors mail or people who aren't occupants of the building and whats worse I am not getting all my mail. Can these carriers READ?....I think not or maybe its how their trained. I would guess my neighbors is getting my mail....most neighbors are new in the building and may not know that someone lives in the basement of the building. Recently my husband died...his union sent out benefit forms, did I get them?....NO. I hear horror stories about the post office service but to experience this type of service for the 5 years I have lived in this community is just unheard of. Next year I will be moving and I will miss many things in the Bronzeville neighborhood....can you guess what I won't be missing? read more

There is consistency of poor service that I have never witnessed in any other post office, restaurant, lemonade stand etc. The majority of the employees can be heard through the walls, lounging around while one (never more) attendent serves anywhere from a few to a dozen customers. The response to complaints is always 'speak to corporate' and the feeling of dissatisfaction is shared by everyone who has ever been here. Employees seems to share the equivalent of feeling that their position to serve the general public is beneath them and does little to hide this. Management needs to either retrain (or quite preferably rehire) the employees to meet at least the minimum standards for service. read more
