I have been to many posts offices and I was hesitant coming back to this one. However, the employees, yes more than one person, were really nice to me and to all of the Customers coming through the door. I couldn't believe it! Also, it was around Christmas time which is hectic and stressful. The employees were very pleasant and made my experience to the post office an awesome one.

This is a nice USPS store. Usually not crowded. Service is quick. Also there's a great bar across the street.

Really nice art deco space observed in the exterior and interior of the building. I don't know about the other reviews but I've been going to this PO for years and my experience with the staff has always been nice. The pace has been average, haven't encountered fire or any other life threatening emergency there. It's hard to park during rush hours so plan accordingly.

The absolute WORST postal service on the planet! I'd rather get my mail from pigeons. We after week we get horrible service. 3/4 of the time the Postal worker throws the mail on the porch or at the bottom of the stairs. Even if it's raining !!! I'm constantly missing mail and magazines. My friends sent a wedding invitation , missing! We get rebates from Menards,all of them come up missing. Half our holiday cards from families/friends come up missing . Today, our mail was on the bottom of the stairs and a magazine was on the sidewalk out front. There is a mail slot In our front door and we do not have a fence blocking access to it.

Long line; zero employees present at service counter; 5 minutes and counting.  Where are the staff?

Line of 8+ customers w/ 0 employees present and available to help. After 5 minutes of waiting in line, one employee came out to help. Need employees! Also, ‍100% of resident pens absent from their stations...

I use this facility on a regular basis and have been impressed with the service I have received…read moreover the years. Today's interaction, however, makes me question whether I will ever come here again. My purpose was to apply for a first time passport. I thought I had done everything correctly; forms completed, supporting documents, photos, payment method and an appointment. An employee, who turned out to be the passport agent, told me someone would be with me shortly. I said I had an appointment and I was aware I had to wait because I was early. She responded that she saw me and did not need explanations. I did not realize there was a waiting area for passport applicants, passport photos were being taken in the area, so I continued to stand outside the area. When it was time for the next applicant, I wasn't sure if it was my turn because there is no check-in system and someone had walked in while I wasn't sure waiting. I went to the agent's window and asked if she meant me or the other applicant. She responded with, "Does she have an appointment?" She continued to be abrupt and dismissive. I am always polite, my mother would have beat the crap out of me as a child if I wasn't. I do not understand the necessity of her negative attitude and her impatience to complete the transaction. I understand that they allow 15 minutes per appointment. I was done in 8 minutes. This agent needs to be retrained in customer service protocols immediately. USPS, get your act together!

A few years ago, i was able to drop off a return with no problem. The service for packages is…read morepretty average from what I've seen. The second and last time I came to this location was for a passport appointment at 1:45. The clerk said that the agent was already clocking out for some reason, even though there was another family in line there for their appointment as well. As well as I can understand being shortstaffed, I wish they could be a bit more sympathetic. I would not rely on this location for passport apps, I'd rather suggest making a trip Downtown for that.

Had an important/expensive purchase sent via USPS, I'm new to Lincoln Square. The employee…read moredelivering the package just hit property not accessible when they were done working for the day. So weekend passes and it gets delivered on Monday.... Signature REQUIRED. Well, I was home and nobody rang my buzzer. In fact the USPS worker just signed for it themselves and picked 'left with individual' and dropped it on the ground. What a joke. Month or two before that I had a package sit in sorting for over a month. 2 months total for the international package to arrive. It was a $90 postage fee shipment from the Netherlands. Things I order for $3 from Ali Express arrive sooner. Now I'm waiting for another signature required delivery and filled out the information online to have it redelivered. The redelivery day has passed. So has the day after that. Nothing. No new notice, nothing. They just did not bother attempting a redelivery. Insulting. Very sad to see how far USPS has fallen. Really nothing we can even do apparently. Just pay your taxes and be happy with terrible service.

My apartment gets a notice that mail can't be delivered due to the mail-person not being able to…read moreenter the building. All mail must be picked up in 10 days or they'll be sent back to the deliverer. You can pick up your mail during 8AM-5PM M-F or 8AM-2PM on Saturday. *Insert eye roll emoji* If you miss one chance to pick it up that Saturday, then you're forced to go during the hours that everyone works and can't possibly get there in time unless you have to go to work later or something. I came to the station, give my ID, and was told I needed a piece of mail with my address on it. Luckily I had a piece of mail with me or I would have been pissed and shiz out of luck. This was ridiculous since there was no where on the first notice that stated you had to bring something with your name AND address on it. Plus, they won't even let you pick up mail for your roommates. I DON'T SEE WHY NOT SINCE IT'S THE SAME DAMN ADDRESS. LIKE. WTF. If you had delivered it, I'd have access to it just the same. Their rules and policies are ridiculous. The person who helped me took 10 minutes to even find my 2 pieces of mail, and even went back to me once and said I didn't have anything. *Eyeroll

I personally think it's somewhat useless to rate the performance and experience from any government…read moreagency. I also was hesitant to write a review, but I thought my explanations might be helpful for some. I went to this branch to apply for a passport on a Saturday morning. Yes, the website had the "thorough" instructions on what documents, both original and photocopied, they needed. Both hubby and I still felt unclear, mainly on the diction. Don't get me wrong. The staff was patient even though hubby expressed his frustration. They were cool and no one took it personally. Hence I could only render three (3) stars because I did successfully submit my passport application...that morning. Ok, now here's the gist. Are ya'll ready? 1) Why should you make an appointment online? It guarantees your queue, versus those who don't make one. When I was there, the staff called out the customers with appointments first. Without an appointment, you had to take chances and lots of waiting might be involved. Making an appointment online was pretty easy. Lots of reminders were sent to my text and e-mail. 2) what documents do you need for applying for a passport? - the state ID or a driver's license (you have to show the staff who processes the application) - photocopied ID (both front and back) - the "original copy" of proof of U.S. citizenship. This WILL BE mailed with your application. - the photocopied version of proof of U.S. citizenship - Of course, the application (no need to fill out "section 2") 3) what was our frustration? Hubby and I read the instructions more than three (3) times. We didn't know the my original naturalization certificate needed to be submitted. That was a piece of very important document and we were not comfortable with that. We ended up driving to the nearby Fedex and made some photocopies, just in case. Do I trust the government agency? Not really, but s*it got to be done through USPS. I had no choice. 4) On the top first page of instruction sheets, it stated "proof of U.S. citizenship: Evidence of U.S. citizenship AND a photocopy of the front (and back, if there is printed information) must be submitted with your application. Ok, I got it and it did imply the original must be given at the time of application. It definitely could be rephrased in a much more clear manner. 5) the fee for the passport alone is $110 (as of 06/30/2018). If you also need a passport card, it will be $140. No credit or debit cards can be accepted. Fortunately, I had a couple of old personal checks and paid with a check. 6) processing fee for the passport is $35. This can be paid with a credit or debit card. 7) the facility here takes passport photos, which is an additional $15. This fee can also be paid with either a credit or debit card. I also noticed that many walk-ins for passport application came in after 11am. The best strategy is to get there early to avoid this whole waiting game. I hope my passport shows up at my house without any hiccup, yet we will see...
