Perhaps Ive just been lucky with the times Ive visited, but Ive never experienced major queues or anything but polite service. Sometimes a little lacking in energy, but vastly better than many urban post offices. Also, today I had cause to call this location directly to see if they could determine the location of a package stuck in their system (as it eventually turned out, thanks to an error by me). The employee who took my call patiently worked through the problem, searched for and found the package and sent it back on his way, unfailingly politely and with no hint of suggestion that it was my fault, which it was. There are many USPS locations that I have cause to complain about, but this isnt one of them.

Ive lived in Barrington for 16 years and try to pay my bills electronically because we have the worst postal service I have ever seen. They are constantly delivering mail to me that should go to other addresses. I have a weekly errand run to re-deliver mail to my neighbors that incorrectly comes to me. I know that my mail has been delivered to other addresses as well because sometimes people are kind enough to re-deliver to me. Ive had packages lost that Ive had to file claims for and our delivery person sometimes doesnt even show up. Ive filed numerous complaints with the postmaster over the years, but the problems continue.

I have had it with this location. I havent received mail for the past three days after a holiday. If it snows dont expect the mail to be delivered. Mail delivery is after 6:00 PM. Certified letter, better leave your garage door open or they will not come to the door for your signature. You will have to go to the Post Office for pick-up. I constantly get other peoples mail delivered to my address. I expect some of mine is delivered to others. I have even wrote to my Rep Peter Roskam to complain. We will see if anything happens.

Would give a rating of zero stars, if I could, if it werent for the patient clerks at the counter. My mailbox was annihilated by the snow plows, this winter season, requiring me to pick up my mail at the post office. I was told by a manager, my mail "would be held indefinitely, until the mailbox was repaired." Apparently, some employees deemed my mail unimportant enough to simply be "THROWN AWAY" as I was informed, by a different shift manager. Now Im being notified by collection agencies for bills not being paid. Nice job, guys. Thanks.

I am very disappointed with this usps store and their services. Usually they dont know the answers to the questions asked about services. Mailing an international package I was given wrong tracking number, that was not trackable for a very important package of documents. Mail often delivered to the wrong mail boxes and we have to sort things out with neighbours trying to find mail addresses to us. Really very unprofessional sore.

Typical burbs post office, clean, stocked, etc, but the work ethic and pacing here seems to be slow. Like the motor vehicle sloth scene from Zootopia slow. Saturday afternoon and a single counter open with a line of 7 people qued. I come here often and this is typical for this location. Even when they have a second counter open it barely increases the speed. Pick up the pace.

Service really sucks. The passport application process should be simple. They make it difficult and theyre really condescending when you try and ask questions. We had ask the head guy to stop talking so we could get a word in. Not sure why post offices still exist. Avoid at all costs !!!

My family and I just renewed my wifes passport and requested new ones for our kids - reservation required. Wayne was excellent and supportive walking us through the process to ensure accuracy for the submission. Highly recommend Wayne for passport customer service support.

no stars for no service and busy phone lines. I just tracked a package that has been at the post office for the last 8 days. Never got a notice and I cant get a call to them because the line has perpetually been busy. I would have paid more to have my package fed-exd

Packages are undeliverable way too often, normal mail gets here fine.
