I have had a car block my mailbox for three days and I did not get mail . The carriers can get out of their vehicles to walk across the street to deliver a package and cannot step two feet to put mail in a box. They could have thrown it on the ground. Why should I have to drive 25 minutes to get mail . When they can walk two seconds and put it in the box read more

United States Post Office - Car blocking my mailbox. I don't know whose car it is - Post Offices Near Me - Sycamore, Illinois

The male clerk, the graying and balding, bespectacled condescending one, who seems to belittle everyone who moves through his line every single time I go there, is the king of rude. I drive to other towns to avoid having to deal with him. Today, I visited the Sycamore post office only because it's tax day and I was rushed for time. Upon entering the post office, I heard said clerk belittling both his coworker and a college kid who was trying to send a package because the kid had covered his package in masking tape. He said loudly for the entire post office to hear, "Masking tape is too porous for any label to stick to it. Masking tape is a really bad thing to use. Most of the packages I saw at Ohare that no one knew where they were going had masking tape." Shouldn't he be waiting on his own customer rather than jumping on another opportunity to belittle people? As I watched the line dwindle and grew more and more anxious that I was going to get him, I wondered what way he was going to embarrass me this time. Last time, the transaction went like this. Him: How would you like to send this? Me: The cheapest way possible. Him in a booming voice: Well you already failed in that mission because you chose the wrong envelope! Hmmm. I felt like saying, Oh, excuse me, I thought being the postal expert was your job, but since I was raised with manners, I refrained. Back to today, sure enough, my turn came and I had the pleasure of dealing with him once again. After he postmarked my letter, I asked if I got cash back if he would be able to give me quarters. He said, I'd have to give you the quarters in ten dollar increments. You could go over to the bank next door. I just sent someone there. That's what people usually do. I think their line is a little shorter there." Seriously??? I hope this isn't the Sycamore Post Office's idea of customer service. People should feel at ease, not cringe and that's what I do every time I go in there and see him working. Unless I'm delusional, I have to believe I am not the only person who finds him completely rude and difficult. I'm not sure what exactly I hope to achieve by posting this review, perhaps not to go back there and slug him in the spectacles. Seriously Sycamore,Post Office, shape up your service. read more

It;'s a post office, not much you can say. We maintain a PO box here and do not check it as often as we should which means a trip to the counter to get overflow. The line tends to be slow if there is one, mostly because they take the time to make each customer feel welcomed and make sure they up sell things like stamps etc. The staff has got to know me so just asks the box number. They are always friendly and have even waited a few minutes after hours for me when I am in need of a package and it;s 4:45 and I am 20 mins out. Its a post office however one I would recommend. read more

I must say rudeness seems to be the norm at most USPS locations I've been to but I have yet to experience any at this one, so that's a plus. It can get busy at times, especially around closing time but it seems to be staffed well enough to handle the rushes adequately. One thing that does bug me are the outside mailboxes. They only pick up first thing in the morning and then at 5pm. You would figure they would empty them at least three times a day to get your mail started moving through the system......especially since the boxes are 20 feet from the building. Oh well. read more

I sell many books from eBay and send through media mail. I have never had many issues with this post office until quite recently. I have had seven books that have been lost with them. I am getting complaints from my buyers about it, and it is extremely frustrating. I can no longer rely on this post office. It is very disappointing. read more

Since I didn't grow up in a small town, I am completely blown away by how this post office operates. Nice staff, little traffic, easy parking... at a post office? Call me crazy but I love this place! I ship a lot of items out for ebay and they are extremely helpful in suggesting the cheapest way to do so. read more

I would certainly recommend coming to this post office. Truly, downtown Sycamore is so cute. It's just one little street packed with historic buildings. Just the basics: a library, a courthouse, a post office, a few restaurants and shops, a movie theater from the 1920's... Anyway, I'm not sure what Dave Y. was talking about when he said it's just your average post office. The building itself is quite interesting as they maintained the historic face. Anyway, aside from enjoying a quiet little town with neat old architecture, I've been to this USPS twice for services and both times I was met with friendly staff. The lines are nothing unusual, although both times I went, my wait was much shorter than it has been at other post offices in the past. Just today, I came in 30 minutes 'til closing time with some unusual questions for the woman at the counter. There was nobody in line behind me so I asked my complicated questions and she went above and beyond to be extremely helpful in assisting me. Perhaps I have been lucky with who is working when I go in, but I've yet to be short of impressed by their customer service. read more
