  The @PostOffice won't give me my own money back in store. Stay away from their travel card - it's an awful deal and they will hold your money hostage. 🙃

  @BalhamDailyPRSS @DuCaneCourt @BusinessWandBC @NightingaleSMcD @TootingPRSS @naturalforbaby @NNsw1217 @weareBATCA Great news about the @PostOffice - save us having to queue for 20 minutes for the dubious pleasure of being treated like shit by the miserable bastards in the main #Balham one!

  A crappy alliance of #AmazonUK and collect service of #Ramsgate #PostOffice, will ensure the shittest service imaginable. UK does lead the way in one area at least. Oh, and xenophobia. Wonderful.

  @PostOffice your Kings Cross branch need to check their security of parcels! I’ve just been to post a parcel and the “air lock” is full and open on the customer side. So anyone could steal the parcels. Tried to tell the counter staff but they weren’t interested

  @PostOffice can you confirm. I am sending a small item today. Fits easily as a large letter. Was asked what in contained as told "as not a letter can not be sent as large letter must be small parcel". Never been asked this before.

  @rynltylr @ViscountLe8ton @PostOffice I’m not trying to educate no one. I want to be part of the solution of course but not the wrong solution. We may only have one opportunity to get it right but less make sure we get it right. That’s my point. Because if we get it wrong it’ll have consequences.

  @PostOffice Or maybe even homophobic even tho I’m neither of those. I love diversity but the needs to be a review and people need to calm down. Just tone down a peg. Please. Honestly tone it down.

  @PostOffice I’ve submitted a complaint via web form. The staff in the WH Smith’s branch on Harben Parade, London NW3 really need some customer service training. Being on the receiving end of rude, dismissive, and hostile attitude is unacceptable. Sort them out.

  @PostOffice @Tesco I don’t know who employs the staff at the post office within tesco Front Lane Cranham RM14 but your member of staff Michelle is so rude and unhelpful. I suggest you do some staff training. All the staff in the actual store are lovely, so I imagine she is P.O.

  @PostOffice can I please enquire about brewery road sub po SE18. It has been closed for over a month with no indication if re-opening. Obviously wishing the staff are safe, but this is a vital service that vulnerable people rely on in this community. Any news is appreciated.

  @PostOffice @RoyalMailHelp @RoyalMail The last 2 parcels I’ve sent have been stolen or lost. These were dropped off at the post office and never reached their destination. They never left your possession so have been stolen or lost by your staff.

  Artur Nadolny (@ArturNadol7566) reported 4 minutes ago

  BINNED BY THE POST OFFICE Fiona Elliott and her husband bought the shop, post office and house in Clady, County Tyrone in 2005. Their plan was simple. Run it well, retire comfortably, leave something solid behind for the kids. Instead the Post Office (@PostOffice) handed them a computer that lied for a living. The Horizon system started throwing up discrepancies almost straight away. £20 here, £60 there, then more. Fiona kept plugging the gaps with her own money from the shop till, convinced she or her staff had made a mistake somewhere. She rang the helpline. She asked for an audit. Nobody came. So she did what any exhausted small business owner does when a multi billion pound state owned company won't lift a finger. She went searching through bins at night, checking if scratch cards or lottery slips explained the missing money. They never did. The money was never missing. In 2009 two auditors finally turned up. They spent a couple of hours going through the post office, then told her there was a £6,000 shortfall on the system and she needed to pay it right then or she'd be looking at a criminal offence. She asked how it had appeared. She'd been putting in hundreds of pounds a week for years and it had never shown up before. They told her it didn't matter, they wanted the £6,000 in cash right there and then. She didn't have that kind of money in the shop till, so she asked to run to the bank. Refused. The bank was shut for lunch and they weren't waiting around for it to reopen. She offered a cheque instead, the normal way she paid every supplier at the time. Refused again. Cash only. So she went and borrowed it off her brother, who ran the car business down the road, handed the cash straight over, and walked away without a receipt. Read that back. A state owned company sent two people to threaten a woman with a criminal charge over money that never actually went missing, refused a cheque, refused to wait an hour for the bank, took cash off her brother's business, and didn't even bother writing her a receipt. She paid. Of course she paid. Nobody wants to find out the hard way that Horizon's word beats theirs in a courtroom too. Rural post offices were being closed around then, so she took redundancy and rented the shop out. The new tenant hit the exact same phantom shortfalls. The bank repossessed the lot and sold it for £40,000. Fiona and her husband had paid £322,000 for it. The bank didn't stop there either, it went on to repossess the buy-to-let properties they owned as well. The building she once planned to retire on is boarded up now, sitting in the middle of the village like a monument nobody in charge wanted to admit they built. She testified to the Post Office Horizon IT Inquiry (@PostOffInquiry) in 2022. She is still fighting for compensation today, offered only 5% of what she believes she is owed, turned down on appeal three times, and pointed toward the Horizon Shortfall Scheme, which she says she has little faith in after wasting years on it already. Nobody stole a penny. The Post Office just needed someone to blame, and a rural shopkeeper searching her own bins at midnight was easier to accuse than a broken system built by Fujitsu (@fujitsu_uk) and defended for decades by executives who knew exactly what it was doing.

  We also applied for a replacement passbook as the original was lost. It has been almost 20 days, but we have received no update or response from the branch. Kindly look into this matter and help us resolve it at the earliest. #IndiaPost #PostOffice #SukanyaSamriddhiYojana
