  • fluffyberty Flavia Bertolini (@fluffyberty) reported

    @PostOffice Thanks. It’s not about convenience, it’s a public health issue. There was no reason for queue to be that long AT ALL. The staff were not working. It also meant people coming in from outside to ask quick question/why queue was so long which added to how many people were in room.

  • STAINEDbodyart The Golden Rule = 🌻Ⓥ🌹✋♒ (@STAINEDbodyart) reported

    @HamaramaDD My son's ex brought his back to the postoffice in April after he moved, he never saw the first one. He couldn't get anyone on the phone or in email.

  • Rangers79268606 MyDug (@Rangers79268606) reported

    @PostOffice @RoyalMailHelp That’s the problem with having too many different companies under the same umbrella. The public have no idea who to contact.

  • 93_beatrice Beatrice (@93_beatrice) reported

    @RoyalMailHelp @MichelleSupper @PostOffice Hi, I have also just tried to send a package to America and have been turned away, but the USA isn’t on that list as having issues with posting to. The last update (in 2020) says everything is fine.

  • HNM_AHendry Alan Hendry (@HNM_AHendry) reported

    @KirsteenCampbel @PostOffice @GroatNews Very obliging guy, yes, and people appreciated the service he provided. 👍

  • AlanKellett Alan Kellett (@AlanKellett) reported

  • AlanKellett Alan Kellett (@AlanKellett) reported

    New customer, my router has not arrived and there is no help!!! My router is stuck at Tyneside MC! PostOffice can't help, Now TV can't help. Terrible service.

  • tonyandnadine Tony And Nadine (@tonyandnadine) reported

    @PostOffice hi can you cancel my install please

  • treflesg LeoJones (@treflesg) reported

    @PostOffice I will leave you alone now, thank you for answering and explaining. I still am upset with the use of the word to describe me without my permission and wish that you and other big organisations would not support the use of hate words for gay men. @ALLIANCELGB

  • karldrinkwater Karl Drinkwater (@karldrinkwater) reported

    The @PostOffice receipts invite you to do a feedback survey. Obviously feedback is vital. Then, if you try to do it, the idiots set it up so they throw you out if you choose "prefer not to answer" for your age. So much for actually wanting customer feedback.

  • fedupfreelance Ruth Bloomfield (@fedupfreelance) reported

    @postoffice Please do something about Martins newsagents, Regents Pk Rd, N3; queued for AN HOUR with old people and kids today ... They are glacial slow, just like the weather. Bad at the best of times, with social distancing impossible.

  • Danny_D_Pearson Danny Pearson 😁 ✎ (@Danny_D_Pearson) reported

    @PostOffice Do you have any more information about these 2021 stamps? 1 July - Royal Mail literary issues, Dennis The Menace and Gnasher his dog (British comic strip characters) @PostOfficeNews

  • sparkynephilim Nadine Martinez (@sparkynephilim) reported

    @PostOffice Hi Tom, thanks for the reply, basically they are awful and I'm looking to see how best to make a formal complaint regarding their (lack of) customer service skills.

  • DavidT10614212 David T (@DavidT10614212) reported

    @PostOffice For info, I also raised a complaint via the PO website after this happened and have heard nothing at all.

  • RIZZT TOM RISDALE (@RIZZT) reported

    @PostOffice another rude postman this morning in Hackney - ‘you are lucky to get any post at all’.......

  • kmdKrishnan Krishnaa (@kmdKrishnan) reported

    Dear @UIDAI, kindly support your service provider with facilities. We couldn't able to do any correction/update because your service providers say a reason to escape. Pissed off 😓 #PostOffice don't have facility #IndianBank won't work after 3PM #RevenueOffice has limitations

  • thegingerpig Ginger Pig1 (@thegingerpig) reported

    @PostOffice I’m still waiting for a reply to my complaint my passport is still missing and you did not send it next day I want a response !

  • PiearceColin Colin Piearce (@PiearceColin) reported

    @PostOffice Thanks Ryan - incidentally, my Wife has submitted a formal complaint to the Post Office about the same incident.

  • 93_beatrice Beatrice (@93_beatrice) reported

    @PostOffice They said that they weren’t posting to America, only Europe, so if they took it it would only end up sitting in a pile of envelopes. I appreciate C19 is making things difficult, so this isn’t a complaint by any means. but I only want to send my friend her bday card & present

  • iwannatesla photo guy (@iwannatesla) reported

    It’s a bit odd that we leave @PostOffice broadband for bt and in the 2 week wait for bt our internet has been slowed to a snails pace. If they are slowing it down on purpose its disgusting. Can’t wait for by. Nobody go with them they treat you like it’s free no 37 quid.

  • KM_Bill Karen Billett (@KM_Bill) reported

    @OversightDems and @SpeakerPelosi I don't think @usps has undone election damage. I mailed Christmas gifts on December 17th. They still have not arrived. My postal parcel store tells USPS says they are working on December 8th and 9th. Untenable. #postoffice #saveUSPS

  • Selvamatiseelan Selvamathiseelan G (@Selvamatiseelan) reported

  • PeterMLittle Pedro Quixote ? 🇪🇺🇺🇳🕷️ (@PeterMLittle) reported

    Never get @postoffice broadband or telephone their customer service is nonexistent. And 2.5 megabytes download speed is absolutely abismal eveb before the current fiasco

  • IRidley Iain Ridley (@IRidley) reported

    @PostOffice I did, I spoke with a lady on the phone, she said that the fault lay with the Post Office staff who shouldn’t have sold that particular service on 15th December saying it was 5 day delivery guaranteed. The package has now arrived - but it was very late for Christmas.

  • fedupfreelance Ruth Bloomfield (@fedupfreelance) reported

    @PostOffice Yesterday afternoon, but its always incredibly slow. I understand the need for social distancing, but that doesn't explain why every customer takes so long. There were 12 to 15 people ahead of me, mostly posting parcels, and 2x counters open. They are pleasant but very doddery

  • katerinalondino Greek immigrant (@katerinalondino) reported

    @postoffice It's been a month, I have not received a response to my complaint about the abuse I suffered at the Holloway Post Office branch?

  • lrjyn loriiiii (@lrjyn) reported

    @PostOffice Hi, I sent a cheque off on 23/12 but had confirmation from RBS that it was returned to “post office” due to the name not being legible. Would you be able to help? I have my receipt and RBS conversation as proof if need be, thanks!
