My new favorite post office. Well done, Glen Ellyn.
Siobhan D.

I have a new favorite post office! Phew. No lines, super clean, totally stocked with supplies, a functional self-service machine, and free parking right in front. It's a bit of a hike for me but no stress, so totally worth it.

And now the bracelet has been stolen. In any other part of the US, this is a crime of theft. In the USPS, this is normal customer service.

This continues to be a source of complete frustration for me. I now have proof that someone there stole an item out of an envelope that was sent to me. I've reported it and received zero interest in looking into this. Zero. There are thieves who work at this USPS facility and although we pay them a healthy wage, they aren't held accountable and now we need to find other means of getting our mail so that it isn't stolen before we receive it. In the first picture, you can see the scan of the envelope with some wrinkling because there's a bracelet in it. In the second one, the envelope is flat because the bracelet was removed. The slit envelope is conveniently off to the left of the picture. Both scans were taken the same day. It's such a violation to have federal workers who are supposed to be delivering our mail, going through our mail and keeping things for themselves instead.

Waiting...waiting... there's no one here.
Jennifer P.

Despite my completing my mail forwarding form (and paying the processing fee), my mail has NOT been forwarded to my new address. My mail has gone missing in the process. I had to file yet ANOTHER inquiry via USPS. RIDICULOUS.

I'm almost always a bit discombobulated when I walk into this post office to ship an item I've sold…read moreon ebay. I'm new to the process and find it a bit stressful, but the employees here are always kind, patient, & helpful. They also keep the line moving faster than I've ever seen at any of my previous local post offices! Today was probably the most stressed I've been and I regret that I was a bit crabby with the original clerk, even as I apologized and admitted it was not her fault. My shipping cost estimates (by weight and dimensions, according to ebay) were WAY off and I was a bit overwhelmed realizing I might lose money on 3 items. Thankfully, VALERIE swooped in like a sweet, calming angel from heaven and patiently helped me through the process of finding the cheapest shipping options and packaging available. I was obviously grateful for the money saved, but Valerie's kindness and ability to calm me down when I felt so foolish, stressed out, and upset was far more valuable. Thank you so much, Valerie! I hope the Villa Park post office realizes what a gem they have in you!

This is my 'home' US post office location that I've visited at least weekly for the last 17 years…read more My overall rating is 3 stars, but 4 stars for the self-service features and 2 stars for the human-manned positions... I like that this PO location has a unit that allows me to send packages without waiting in long lines. And, yes there are often lines here. The thing is that the self serve machine only takes packages that fit into the metal storage unit attached to the machine. 4 stars for this feature. Now on to the human-manned staffers -- the word 'entitlement' comes to mind when I think of most USPS workers. Because while they are always polite, they are not actually friendly in any genuine sense of the word. I also DO NOT TRUST their package prices without first either using the self-service unit to get a price, or using an online calculator. CASE IN POINT: I wanted to ship a used 3/4 guitar to Arizona this week. I measured the package myself and then used an online cost calculator by USPS for the price. I knew the ground rate would be approx $20, and when the "human worker" gave me the price it was that amount but then she said the final price was closed to $48 once she keyed in the measurements. HUH? WHAT? I knew this was WRONG. I said I'd go elsewhere because I had used an online calculator and got the $20 rate... Hence, I went to Office Depot on Roosevelt and sure enough they matched my self-calculated rate. I then opted to spend a few more dollars and shipped the guitar via UPS because I was pissed at the "human" oat the PO.. My suggestion - try using the self service machine to ship. It's easy to use and at least you'll get an accurate price. Overall, USPS as a whole does a poor job in that they try to upsell you CONSTANTLY on services and features that you don't need, while also not being entirely helpful in providing even the most basic necessities such as generic package labels without having to buy them.

Ratchet, Rude, and Completely Unprofessional - Worst USPS Around…read more This Carol Stream USPS location is an absolute joke. Every single time I walk into this place, it's the same miserable, nasty attitudes from employees who act like they're being forced to do their jobs. I've never seen so many people working in customer service who clearly have absolutely no business dealing with the public. The attitude behind that counter is straight-up ratchet. Long-ass nails, constant attitude, eye rolls, and acting like customers are bothering them just by asking a simple question. Maybe spend less time giving people dirty looks and more time actually doing the job you're getting paid to do. It's embarrassing that a federal agency allows this level of unprofessionalism. You'd think asking someone to mail a package was asking them to perform brain surgery. Nobody is asking you to roll out a red carpet. Just do your damn job without acting like the entire world owes you something. And where the hell is management? Does anybody supervise this circus? Because these employees seem way too comfortable treating customers like garbage. If you're that miserable coming to work every day, FIND ANOTHER JOB. Nobody in Carol Stream should have to put up with your nasty attitude just to mail a package. Absolutely pathetic customer service. USPS needs to clean house at this location and hire people who actually know how to treat customers with respect.

I had a package to deliver, and because I am a glutton for punishment I waited until five days before Christmas to do so. Since I had an errand to run out in the suburbs I decided to stop at the post office there with the hope that I would not waste away in line. That turned out to be the right decision, because when I stopped here there were only four people ahead of me. My trip to this post office was complete in fewer than 10 minutes. It's a large post office; I think they have a lot of P.O. Boxes, which takes up a large footprint. There's a large parking lot, as well as a drive up postbox outside the building so you can post your stamped mail.

The total was a dollar and some change and I had a larger bill and the exact change. The clerk asked me twice if I had a single, which I didn't. I finally told her, if I had one I would have given it to you but this is what I have. She muttered the whole time while making my change. Is it that she wasn't given enough bills in her till to carry her through the day, or was it the trouble of having to count to make the change? Whatever it was, the attitude is the same as I have gotten every time I have come in here. Honestly, get it together, because this kind of customer service is really poor.

The Hinsdale Illinois Post Office does not have its own page for Yelp, and I believe that Hinsdale…read moreand Oak Brook Post Office share the same fantastic management. Anyway, I posted the following post, yesterday on the Oak Brook, U.S. Post Office Yelp page and wanted to correct, the postal associate's name who provided the exemplary service. Youssouf Youssein is the postal associate and retail executive that I wanted to commend in the following Oak Brook and Hinsdale Postal Review: On October 13, 1978, I established my business advisory and commercial real estate holding firm. I established my business address in Oak Brook, Illinois at the U.S. Post Office located at 1314 Kensington Road. That was 44 years ago! I have been through countless Postmasters, in Oak Brook. After four decades of business growth, I have acquired and registered numerous Post Office Boxes in several States, Counties, and foreign jurisdictions. Using a cost-affective (not "cost-effective") Post Office Box, as a Branch Office should not be a revolutionary business concept. While the run-of-the-mill, government service at most postal facilities was somewhat spotty for a high-end, business-to-business, boutique advisory and consulting firm, OAK BROOK - HINSDALE HAS BEEN TESTED AS THE BEST OF THE BEST! As an esteem Litigation Manager, earning more than $42.50 per minute since 2009, I have been able to compete with the best firms in the world, only because of Mr. Tim, the Hinsdale/Oak Brook USPS, Postmaster, and my longtime trusted USPS, Oak Brook "Friend" and Associate Mr. Youssouf Youssein. Please know that this "Prolific Litigator", "Ingenious", "Extremely Rare", "Best Sole Practitioner to Ever Come Before the Federal Court" (all judicial, and FBI Presidential Vetting Profiler quotes) never would have made it without my Oak Brook, Hinsdale "Branch Offices"!

WHERE WAS THE FIRST NOTICE & WHY SUCH A SHORT TIME FRAME??? Prior this year, I have also not received mail sent from this same Sender with no return to this Sender relating to Personal Counseling Matters, UNTIL mid-July when I received another peach slip with a .49 cents due. THIS WAS FROM MARCH, 2021. Post Office, where had this been all that time, it was thick enough NOT to miss. On hold over 35 minutes now waiting to discuss current issue with 800-275-8777. Approx. after 44 minutes answered & they could not find the code in the system, sent through to hold for another day, I was advised they are only delivering one notice so I advised they need to change what they have in writing on their peach slips which lists: First Attempt & Final Notice. Well, just received a call from Post Office at 1:32 p.m. stating this was from 07/01/21 & when finally delivered 08/03/21 it was Postmarked 06/22/21. UPDATE: While I was advised by Post Office this was from the beginning of July 2021. I never received a 1st notice or I would have been in to pick it up. We went in to the Post Office last month & picked up a letter postmarked MARCH 16, 2021. Something is amiss here Post Office! So why did the Downers Grove Post Office hold onto PRIVATE SENSITIVE CONFIDENTIAL PERSONAL MAIL since March, 2021 when I only received the Notice mid-July 2021 along with .49 Postage Due only to have another from the same SENDER done in a similar fashion? Seems like it was unsealed & resealed also. Nothing is meant to be false, misleading, misconstrued, misinformation, et al.

But what causes to make this location close over 1/2 an hour EARLY yesterday, July 23rd 2026 makes it difficult. As me and another patron looked puzzled to have the doors locked, I needed to get my package scanned as I sell online and has a deadline. Luckily, I traveled to the Westmont Post Office, hoping they have accurate hours as they are open later. It was. (wheh!) As a result of asking a few others, I understand this is not something strange, but that shortages of a staff has been the result. So this is more common than not. Luckily for me, haven't been to this DG location in many years. My local post office is great (the best out of dozens in the area (Northlake) as are the other dozens of locations in the past few years. And since the USPS makes it difficult to find the phone number to verify that they are actually open with the hours they post online (and at their location), I will avoid going to this location in the future. .
