Post Office  Avis 3 668

I signed up for the Over 50s life insurance because of the £125 gift card. Only to have to wait A YEAR for it then when its due I have wait further 4 weeks for it.
Ridiculous.

ushocking..obviously evri..post office and amazon are desperate for staff..too many envelopes and parcels broken into..most are really wet through obviously to hide the tear or hole as accidentally burst...how on earth they get wet travelling in vans .the thieves think we are idiots..
.today 9th march granddaughter birthday and a card arrived envelope torn open...sender i messaged said £10 was in...i had similar problem last year when a parcel forced through letter box..delivery guy didn't know i was in..inside a bottle of water instead of a new mobile phone..i ran outside to see a taxi leaving..i drove after taxi blocked its path and grabbed the guy who muttered something but surrendered the phone

Postoffice all ways quose out the door thy lose your post verry poor servie

I visited the main Post Office at Bideford to tax a car, I tried to do it through DVLA but because it required a taxation class change I had to tax it first 😒and then send the documents back to DVLA again with proof it's taxed then they would change the class and send the documents back 😒😒😒, so into the Post Office I went, I spoke to a lovely smiley lady and explained what I had to do, she read the letter from DVLA and said " why do all that I can do it all for you here and now". She checked the MOT and Insurance documents, took payment and said "all done, I will send the V5C away for you as well and it will come back with the new tax class".
All this took about 5 minutes, wonderful service from a very helpful, happy lady. 10/10 Bideford, Thank you.

Took parcel to post office meadow field north Seaton Ashington. Amazon stated no label required. Just QR code on phone. Done this. Employee couldn't scan code. Started to scan a bag to put it in and said I would get an email. I didn't. Amazon didn't receive parcel. Complaining to post office . They are blaming everything apart from them. Been onto them 3 weeks now still no good.

Horrendous - two female counter staff chatting whilst I waited at their 'stop' sign. No other customers. Continued to chat, I moved in front of them, continued to chat. Eventually the dark-haired lady said 'yes'. I asked for stamps please. No 'please' or 'thank you' in reply (basic curtesy?). Ruder than rude! Reading other reviews, it appears that many customers are treated similarly. Begs the question – does the Franchisee/Agent or Royal Mail not care about this level of unprofessionalism and appalling customer service? RUDE!!!!! Will avoid going in that shop and using that PO counter. If I could have score NO STAR I would have.

I posted a birthday card by 2nd class 6 days before a family member's birthday. It arrived 11 days later.This is not the first time it has happened.Royal Mail is getting from bad to worse.

Paul our postman in mere Wiltshire very polite and friendly always gets our post and parcels on time we would be lost without him

The Greenwich Avenue Hull post office is supposed to be open until 20:00. When I went today at 1930 they had closed well before. Wasted journey and my time. I'd give zero stars of I could.

THIS IS A REVIEW FOR BUGLE POST OFFICE IN CORNWALL ONLY.
As a charity collector I have to pay in money that has been collected. As we have no banks in the local or surrounding area Post Offices are now the only option.
I would like to place on record my gratitude, help, support and professionalism of all staff at Bugle who have gone beyond what can only be described as outstanding and took all the money I had in change (Over £3K) to be deposited.
Special thanks for Nikki who was on the receiving end of my money but also to the staff for their help. Also thanks to the customers who have needed to wait whilst I paid this money in over several visits.
If you need a place to find helpful and friendly staff then look no further than Bugle.

I would rate the so-called service at the Palmerston Road, Portsmouth PO as 1 star. However, if only it were an option I would rate my experience at 0. I attempted to send a parcel of books weighing 1.91kg (i.e. less than 2kg) measuring 28cm x 22cm x 5cm (i.e. a total 55cm, i.e. nowhere near the 90cm total dimensions permitted). The so-called assistant tried to charge me over £38.00. I retrieved my parcel, came home and checked the PO website, which confirmed what I already knew, i.e. he had tried to overcharge me about £10 more than the published rate. Why are you permitting this to happen?

I used the Post Office Ltd for around 30 years. It used to serve a clear purpose. It was organised, efficient, and — believe it or not — actually pleasant. My local branch had a proper ticketing system. You’d walk in, take a number, sit on comfortable seats, and wait your turn like a civilised human being. Even when it was busy, it worked. No chaos. No endless queues snaking out the door.

Then someone high up decided to “cut costs” — and apparently the best way to do that was to dismantle what worked.

The large, functional branch in my town was scrapped and squeezed into a corner of WHSmith. Since then, it’s been nothing short of queue purgatory. Lines stretch halfway through the shop, sometimes right out the door. It’s cramped. It’s slow. It’s frustrating. Whatever efficiency once existed has been replaced by what feels like permanent gridlock.

This isn’t modernisation. It’s regression.

Customers are left standing for ridiculous lengths of time for basic services, often in poorly designed retail spaces that clearly weren’t built to handle the demand. The experience feels like an afterthought — like the public is expected to just tolerate worsening conditions without complaint.

After decades of loyalty, I’ve had enough. I refuse to use the Post Office now. There’s only so many times you can stand in a never-ending queue wondering why something that once worked perfectly was dismantled in the name of “efficiency.”

If there’s one organisation that consistently raises my blood pressure, it’s the Post Office. Thirty years later, this is how loyalty gets repaid.

Still waiting for mail for three weeks from .guv post office title mail are crap

Sent a letter recorded delivery..4 days later checked tracking and update from 48 hrs prior was ..Will try and deliver next day...6 days later still in sorting office...ra g royal mail after 35 minutes on hold. .thier resolution was to ring govt office and see if they have it...what's the point of paying of a tracking service...I may as well have just put a stamp on it

Always informed by PO when expecting a delivery. And kept updated as to delivery day.

I went to Sunninghill Post office this morning .I was trying to return some goods by post . The friendly staff couldn’t have been more helpful . They took the delivery imagine from my phone, printed out on their printer and used their own tape to put this on the package , so we were able to send it . I was so pleased and most grateful for their impeccable service .

If I Could Give 0 Stars I most definitely would. Handed over a large parcel to be sent overseas, only for the post office assistant to spill a very large Costa Coffee across the top of the parcel.
Had purchased a tri-wall box specifically for the job, so thanks to the Post Office, it was ruined before it even left the Post Office counter !!.

I'm a regular at Westcombe Hill Post office.
Pinky is a great lady, efficient, bubbly and professional, as is her husband.
Nice people to do business with.DENIS

I went to the post office today at the branch in Alkrington Post Office Manchester M24 1LW and could not believe a clear stereotypical racist comment made to me by the cashier . As i handed my parcel to her , she went through the standard question of , What the contents of the postal, which i replied. She asked how much it was worth . I replied. Then she ended with " As long as it is not fish, as we don't want it to be stinking on other parcels". As an african woman, i felt that comment was extremely racist and incredibly unprofessional. The fact she felt confident to express her own prejudices whilst providing , what she consider as good service is beyond me. I will not be going back there and would advice black or brown people not to either . Disgusting

I visited the post office today and was helped by Jayshree. She was very friendly and went above and beyond.
She was wonderful.
Definitely will be visiting again.

Thank you.
