I had the pleasure of being helped by Liz at the USPS in New Britain, and she was absolutely wonderful. She greeted me with a warm smile and treated me with such kindness and patience. Liz was thoughtful, engaging, and genuinely happy to help even with my large number of transactions, she never once seemed rushed or frustrated. It’s clear she truly enjoys working with people, and more employees should be like her.
She’s a fantastic representation of the company and made my visit a positive experience. The facility itself is also clean, spacious, and very well organized. The staff overall move quickly and know their work well. Excellent service all around!
