Thank you, very much.The postal service is amazing and I’m grateful for your service. Sending a letter of love from one side of the country to the other, well..,a stamp is the best deal in town! It makes up for make up for not receiving our mail every day, really!

Horribe service!!! Called and said that we are applying for a passport and I said that we have to do a passport application for my daughter that have reached 16 years old already, and 2 days before the application I called. The lady said that we don’t have to bring the old passport as she is niw being treated as an adult as per previous pssports were still when she was a baby and a child. On the day of the application, the guy was n the front desk said when we presented our documents, where is the old pssport? You should have brought it. And he said where is where is the filled out applications? And I said the lady said that we can fill it out in the post office. The man on the front desk said your appointment is only up to 11:15 am. And I said that can’t you have a little compassion at least. I said that I called earlier and those documents they did’t say to bring and I said that we live close by.

Saturday- You all deserve a good repair & paint job at your front entrance; it’s unnecessarily beat up. Office does not really open at 8. Door unlocked at 8:05, supervisor appears at 8:12 and clerk appears at 8:15. I know because I waited.

I once again am completely disappointed by the incompetence displayed by the Wilmette Post Office staff. For the past 4 years we have contracted for Premium Mail Forwarding (PMF). Every year it takes several weeks for them to get the process working even close to what is advertised. But it is rarely without a problem. Let me explain. My wife and I travel to our winter home each year for several months. I register for PMF,is to have all mail for our Wilmette address to be held at the Post Office and priority mailed to us at our other home every Wednesday. This is week three for this year and we have received one mail package. I assume it contained all of our mail for the week, but I have no confidence since about 20 out of the 60 items forwarded to us were actually addressed to other people at several different addresses.. if the mail is sent from Wilmette on Wednesday it will arrive to us on Friday. It usually doesn’t show up until Saturday or Monday if at all. They sent an email with a tracking number each week but their own system indicates that they have not received the package yet for processing. We have someone check our mail box at our Wilmette residence every few days, because every so often the post office delivers mail to our address.
