I have huge faith in their service and I always say that the mail carriers are the hardest working people around. Rain or shine they deliver our mail.

The only thing they deliver is bullshit.

So I went to the post office to send back 4 of them. I went up to the counter & was informed that the return address requires a form for international mail as the return address is in Lithuania. I got out of line to fill out the proper form. When I went back after filling the proper form only to be informed that I had filled out the form incorrectly so I had to step out of line again to refill out the form. When I got back in line and they were ringing it up they told me it was $68? I'm like WTF? This translator has a lithium battery & was informed that the USPS can't send items w/lithium batteries. I'm like WTF? I received 5 translators through USPS but now they can't send them back because they have lithium batteries? I decided to check out UPS instead.

After a few loops through the area, I eventually found a parking spot along N Kenilworth Ave right outside of the entrance. During my loops, I was astonished to see the beauty of downtown Oak Park which I have never seen before. I will have to visit the area one of these days to go food hopping, or maybe even pick out a run route that would take me through it on foot. Now as for parking, it is 1-hour parking, 9 AM - 5 PM Monday - Saturday. Many of the visitors I see try to secure those parking spots along N Kenilworth Ave because you will have to pay if you choose to park along Lake St, which is pay by the plate. An adorable, classy looking building is this post office not only on the outside, but inside as well. I must say that this post office was my life saver due to its closing time on the weekend which will surely result in future visits for me. During my visit, there was absolutely no line of customers inside which resulted in an in-and-out visit (no pun intended), tehehe. As someone who visits post office locations regularly whether it be for Poshmark or eBay shipments, the clerk presented a friendly vibe during our brief encounter at the counter. I was on my way in minutes after she weighed and scanned my package, as well as presented me with mailing stamps for my postcards. I am terrible at doing the surveys on the receipts pertaining to my visits at post offices, but rest assured I always share a review based on my experiences. I had a great experience and would gladly utilize Oak Park Post Office again for any shipments I may have. ~ Embrace the journey. ~ Thomas G

I am also grateful that it is near my job too because I did not want to have to place my package inside of a blue collection box. During my visit, there were absolutely no customers inside. Walking up to the counter, I joked with the clerk that it appeared as if they were closed which struck up a brief conversation. The clerk mentioned that it was likely due to the recent construction. As someone who visits post offices regularly whether it be for Poshmark or eBay shipments, the postal clerk presented one of the friendliest vibes during our brief encounter. I was on my way in minutes after the clerk weighed and scanned my package.

I had a shitty experience at the post office in Park Ridge. Yay…read more I was driving by and thought I should stop and submit a change of address form I'd been driving around with for weeks whilst I was thinking about it. I'd started filling it out when I got it, but you had to drop it off in person with ID so I decided I'd come back since I was in a hurry at that time. When I came to turn it in on this day, the woman said I did it wrong because the address of when I wanted the mail to be rerouted (around the date I moved) didn't match the date I'd signed the document (which I signed just before entering). Nowhere on the form do I see anything about it requiring the dates to match--in fact, that makes very little sense, since someone might submit a change of address two or three weeks before they actually want the change to take effect since it can take that long for the mail to be diverted. So she made me get out of line to complete another form, which wasn't particularly easy whilst holding a one year old and completing it one-handed. On top of that, why is it just a given that the post office sucks? I mean, I promise that if visiting the USPS wasn't worse than getting your teeth extracted that they wouldn't be bleeding money the way they are. I avoid the post office like I avoid COVID. I thought that the post office was one of the federal government's handful of PBOs (performance based organization) but there's no way given how customer service seems to be of the lowest concern to them. The post office building is nice and fancy, and the parking lot is confusing (a lot of it is one way, which I wouldn't expect with a larger parking lot like this). But like most post offices, just gird your loins upon entering.
