Edgebrook Post Office

It’s not like we’ve got tons of USPS offices located around Edgebrook. And they’re contemplating closing the only one we’ve got at 5424 W Devon Ave? I mean, there are only two employees working the service desks (one during non-peak hours), and maybe one or two employees in the back office. So, how “unprofitable” can this post office really be?

This morning, I had to drop off a few things at the Edgebrook Post Office. Before it was my turn to step up, I overheard a customer at the service counter asking one of the employees about the imminent closing of this office. The postal worker’s response was that they keep hearing this “story” from customers but nobody has officially told them anything. Sad really, to find out about a possible upcoming pink slip from your customers rather than from your employer.

To get back to the possible closing of this location though: Where are we expected to go for our postal service needs in the future? Jefferson Park? Norwood Park? Lincolnwood? The Niles post office at 6977 W Oakton is probably the closest one to us. But really, should we have to drive all the way to Niles for our postal service needs? Let us know what you think.
