Us Post Office

Tamme is THE RUDEST person I’ve ever had to work with. She is the epitome of bad Post Office people! The WORST! I’ve run into her a handful of times, and each time she is rude, mean and insulting.
I have a P.O. box at this place. I checked my PO box late one night and found I had a ‘yellow card’ indicating I had a very large package to pick up, that wouldn’t fit in my small PO box. The next day I went to the post office, with my I.D., to claim my package. Tamme demanded I produce the ‘yellow claim card’ from my PO box that said I had a package. I didn’t have it on me, tho I did have my I.D. and my PO box key for validation.
Tamme threw a temper tantrum, demanding I have the ‘yellow claim card’. «Why did you lose the yellow card? You can NOT get your package without the yellow card! What is wrong with you, that you no have yellow card?!» I am a frequent customer and have a PO box here. I have my ID. I don’t think there is a problem here. But she was shouting at me and gesturing for me to leave. I thought, This Is Ridiculous! Here’s my ID, please get my package. She wildly over-​reacted, yelling, to the point everyone looking to see what the matter was. One of the other employees hurried over to calm her down and assure me there was no problem. They checked my I.D. and brought my box. Easy Peasy.

Terrible service. I bought postage online for express mail, didn’t have an envelope so I got one at post office. Wouldn’t provide tape for label, wanted me to buy it.
The skokie post office has always provided a little rape when needed. Terrible way to treat customers buying a premium product!

If you want bad service at a post office come here. You ll be greeted by grumpy workers., except the manager she was really friendly to her customers

I live in Evanston and I’ve been a commercial shipper and heavy user of the USPS for almost 30 years now, I’ve used many different Post Offices all over the country, spending 6 figure sums over the years on shipping and mailing. Crybabies Steve, June, and Matt don’t know what they’re talking about — this is one of the best Post Offices in the system — the staff is knowledgeable and efficient (and polite), and my packages and letters are always sent out of Wilmette in a timely manner (I would never trust my shipping to either of the Evanston Post Offices mentioned).

I would send a letter to the postmaster of my local post office but I doubt he would get it. The good thing about this place is that you can get to meet your neighbors as you wait in line for service. You also can avoid paying bills as they are not delivered.
I placed have my mail on vacation hold 3 times in the last few years, only to come home to piles of mail on my front porch… it appears that at least one of three mail carriers servicing my address will not know there was a hold… finally in desperation I purchased a postal box… it has helped.
However, mail delivered to my home address by error is sent to the Wilmette post office but instead of it being placed in my box in that post office, it apparently takes a tour of several mail sorting facilities in Illinois before winding up in my postal box… I have no idea how many pieces never make it back

This place is the stereotype of the miserable government institution. It even feels like hell — the place is always insufferably hot. The lines are long, the room is cramped and the workers are slow, whether it be for mail or for passports. I’ve been there for passports twice, and my God it made me think twice about whether I really needed to leave the country.
Try the small post office on Central Street in Evanston for mail or else the downtown Evanston branch instead.
