- LLluis lugo3 days ago5.0There is not a better post office then Plainville! The employee Ish, the lady with the black hair n the older guy are the most pleasant friendly knowledgeable post office employees ever! No post office can compare n they r quick …
- ASAndrew SantanderOct 14, 20255.0The staff is great. Parking in front and behind the building.
- CPCynthia PrescottAug 1, 20251.0I was so disappointed that the only place not flying their flag at half staff was the Plainville Post Office to honor the fallen firefighter who died this week. They even flew them half staff in Southington. What is wrong with USPS in Plainville??? We need to honor these people.
- MKMatthew KowalczykJun 3, 20251.0Why is everyone working here so slow? It’s ridiculous. Maybe try scheduling more than one competent person at a time—this place clearly needs better staffing and common sense at the front.
- MCMary CunningDec 19, 20191.0Did not forward my mail after moving like they were supposed to so now i have presents being sent to the wrong address and being stolen by the people who live near now so thanks for that
