As a Gen Z that does not have much knowledge about shipping internationally, I feel very thankful for my local USPS! This is my second time at this location and really want to show my appreciation for Graham! He is not only helpful but extremely patient, resourceful and addresses all my questions and concerns. Even though he was the only staff working, he is very thoughtful and I can tell the way he speaks to other customers is not rushed at all. Both times I didn’t know what box to use but he kindly found a box for me to use which he didn’t have to but really shows how he went beyond to address my needs. I’m really thankful and honestly never felt so much gratitude for a USPS staff like Graham. Thank you for making my experience so smooth!!

Every time I come here it is a pleasant experience. Everyone I’ve encountered working has been polite. It’s a post office, there’s going to be a line, but they get things done here!
