“Visited the post office around 4pm on a Wednesday. The gentlemen working recognized that we were not super familiar with postage and kindly taped our package (while noting that it did need to be taped), helped us figure out the zip code to an address we were given the incorrect zip code to, and gave us the address of the nearest UPS for a return we needed to make through them. We were very thankful for his patience and assistance.”
“Awesome small town USPS. Parking isn't the best due to the building being built in the 1960's. Avoid the rush times 11:00-1:30, and 3:30. Frank and Kim are great at what they do.”
“Stephanie has been very helpful every time I come to send my packages. She answers my questions patiently with a smile on her face. Seems to know other regulars and calls them by name to greet them. Great customer service!!”
“May not have everything a bigger post office has but Berlin is very fortunate to have a total of 3 post offices for such a small town. Gets the job done and for me very convenient”
“I like this post office. It is much better than going to the New Britain post office (in my humble opinion). I am usually able to get in and out of here quickly.
The staff here is always helpful to me.
There are cheaper options for shipping larger items, but as far as the U.S. Postal Service goes, this place is top notch.”
“I have never experienced anything but friendly, efficient service at our local USPS. DeJoy will never convince me that the post office should be privatized. Thanks to all who work for the Post Office and may they know how much they are appreciated, every day.”
“A great experience when applying for my passport. Staff was great in helping out with the forms and process and offering answers to my questions. In and out in only a few minutes.”
“I've been quite satisfied with my interactions with employees at this location.As someone that's personally witnessed customers complaints.. their dissatisfaction is many times the employees simply following the rules.I wish everyone could work in customer service at least once”
“The blonde lady with glasses is pretty nice but the other lady makes me a bit uncomfortable. I try to avoid her as much as I can. I wish they would post shifts because yikes it just feels like she hates everyone and makes you walk on eggshells tbh I try to leave there as fast as I can. Even just being in the line is uncomfortable to be honest because it affects the whole atmosphere of the place. She does her work though without issue! It's just that Id rather avoid her shift so I'd appreciate it if you would let us know who will be in when. Either way I hope that lady gets well soon but once again she works just fine.”
“Never had a bad experience with staff, they are very friendly and answer all my questions. They are efficient. The line can get long, especially during prime hours.”
“The workers at this location are personable, helpful, and friendly. There is sometimes a line/it moves slow, but it's a small post office and lots of times during the day when it's not busy at all.”
“It's alright. Sometimes its really slow... but if there is only like 2 people in line... you should be ok. ,the counter staff (98% of them) have attitudes, never smile (unless being condescending). I feel uncomfortable ASKING these People any questions. I feel like if i ask a question that requires actual work to answer, i will catch the sharp end of the most DISGUSTED look in history. We, the public, are definitely burdening these depressed individuals. I am not sure how they keep thier jobs..unless,of course, the manager is the head cheerleader. Who knows. Next time you're there, smile and say hello how is your day, to the cashier....?”
“The man on the phone this morning was so helpful with my concern about undelivered mail that was returning to sender. I got my package the same day! I think his name was Anthony. Sorry I don't completely recall!”

“The story- I was in a rush because I thought the Post Office closed at 12- realized later that I was looking at the PO in Cheshire, Massachusetts. Jumped in the car to get there at 11:59 and saw 12:30 on the door. I had rushed out without properly wrapping my item in order to make it there but now had plenty of time yet not enough to go back home to get a better box. The box I had with me was 2 inches too small. I had to ship today because it was an online sale that needed to be shipped out in 3 days; it was the 3rd day. Now 12:10 pm, in my car in the parking lot trying to adjust the wrong size box to fit a wreathe without damaging it. I made it work although the box was dilapidated and ridiculous looking. I used the rest of my tape to cover openings where the box was tilted. (If I purchased a box for $7, my profit would be even less than the $20 I sold it for so wanted to avoid buying one.) The door was just locked when I was done - it was 12:31. 20 minutes wrestling with the box in my car went by fast. Luckily they saw me and unlocked the door, (maybe it was my look of disgust and despair.) They didn’t have to but I appreciate that they did! The clincher, while it was being weighed, the employee heard a text ding. — I actually packaged up my phone inside (Yes I am admitting to that)!! — Anyway, he kindly opened the package so I could get my phone out and offered to retape it for me. Now it is 12:35, borrowed time. Thank YOU!!! Had he not noticed the faint ding, I would’ve shipped my cell phone with the wreathe I sold for $20!! ? (I hope the wreath makes it to Florida without damages considering my ill-fitting box and toddler tape job but maybe he improved its durability as he was taping when I left.? )Moreover, anytime I have come to this post office over the last 20 years, the employees have been very friendly, kind, resourceful and today - extremely patient. Thank YOU!”
“5 stars for Johnathan at the customer service desk. Jonathan stands out he’s fast and efficient. Two other employees went to the back to “look” for my package came back saying no package. Jonathan said let me take a look two minutes later hands me my package. Thank you Jonathan!”
“I'm waiting on a package, but I found out that packages are heavier this year than it's been in 30 years. I feel for those mail workers around Christmas.”
“Usually pretty quick in line. Never stood there for a long time. Only had 1 issue a year ago trying to send a package out that was prepaid and it was for up to 5 lbs, it weighed 2 lbs and kept saying it's too heavy...?
Now I do everything online besides a couple things. But staff is usually friendly. Went just the other day and 1 guy was up there and no line! Very friendly older gentleman”
