Post Office Issues Reports Near Reading, England

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in Reading and nearby locations:

  • Neeknowsbest Kim (@Neeknowsbest) reported from Didcot, England

    @PostOffice Took some old notes to local main Post Office to be told you no longer exchange them, or allow them to be paid into bank account. No wonder Post offices are closing all the time. No longer offering a service to the community.

  • annief1 Anne (@annief1) reported from Didcot, England

    @PostOffice Thank you. I have worked for a PO, I used to run one in the 90s. . I am also trained in Customer care. There is nothing wrong with chatting at work. But the customer comes first. You don't chat to another colleague, about something irrelevant whilst serving. Thank you.

  • annief1 Anne 🌻💙💛 (@annief1) reported from Didcot, England

    @PostOffice I posted a normal package 3rd December and its still not arrived. 😱. Apparently many have had a problem, with this date. So lady in Didcot / coop p/O said.

  • CamberleyDan Dan Adams (@CamberleyDan) reported from Camberley, England

    The new Camberley @PostOffice rules of only being allowed to use self service machines surely will cause some difficulties for some members of the community

  • lornypop Lorna Hicks (@lornypop) reported from Wokingham, England

    AVOID #BYFLEET #POSTOFFICE #rude #unproffesional #tradingstandards being informed!!

  • smnthklly 𝑠𝑎𝑚𝑎𝑛𝑡ℎ𝑎 ⚜️ (@smnthklly) reported from Reading, England

    Omg I do a manifest every time and my parcels never get processed or processed incorrectly and then I’m left in a state wondering where the rest are until I can contact the PO again.. I even highlight on the manifest @PostOffice what happens if a sack of parcels goes missing?

  • annief1 Anne (@annief1) reported from Didcot, England

    @PostOffice Absolutely appalling customer service, IN Didcot PO today. The one inside Whsmith. .. Serving me and discussing the Christmas Party they can't, have with colleague! Always time for this after but not during service. Customers come first. 😱. #postoffice

  • PeterBa82304711 Peter Baker, MA. 🇬🇧 🇮🇱 #NUFC 'till I die ! (@PeterBa82304711) reported from Reading, England

    @johnredwood @YvetteHenson 1/2 And why did the #PostOffice & #Fujitsu ignore &/or hide the fact that there were significant problems with said it system, preferring instead to shift the blame onto totally innocent people ? At least one of whom was told not to mention the system in legal/proceedings/Court !

  • Munzhedzi_Muk Ngwaniwapo (@Munzhedzi_Muk) reported from Reading, England

    @LilywhiteSimon @PostOffice Damn. Thats disappointing, I think royal mail requires this invoice when claiming cos they know you aint getting it, ever.

  • tommyhozza tom horrox (@tommyhozza) reported from Finchampstead, England

    @joshjay1969 @RoyalMail You might want to tag @PostOffice as @RoyalMail is a different company... "my golf just broke down... damn you vauxhall" 🤣

  • millennial_tom Tom Sargeant (@millennial_tom) reported from Reading, England

    @Cremedevape @PostOffice @WHSmith @parcelforce @RoyalMailHelp Absolute comedy of errors going on here. I wouldn’t mind much, except this was a really important package to me!

  • millennial_tom Tom Sargeant (@millennial_tom) reported from Reading, England

    So @parcelforce say they can’t do anything because I handed my parcel in @PostOffice who subsequently incorrectly gave it to @RoyalMail. In fact the only team who seem to give a damn are @WHSmith where the @PostOffice are located!

  • FionaLegal Fiona Anderson (@FionaLegal) reported from Wokingham, England

    Thanks very much Roger Gale of the @PostOffice - great business acumen. How pleased he must be with himself for getting rid of well known staff, a decent post office and a decent service to replace it with bargain basement b.s. of a "post office" with nowhere to pick up parcels!

  • millennial_tom Tom Sargeant (@millennial_tom) reported from Reading, England

    @WHSmith @PostOffice I am at the @PostOffice now trying to work out what is going on. Kudos for responding. They say they can’t help in any way.

  • adric_warth Adric Warth (@adric_warth) reported from Didcot, England

    @PostOffice I feel really really let down & will be lodging a complaint. Please can you provide the phone number for you complaints department

  • RockBoxRecords The Rock Box Record Store (@RockBoxRecords) reported from Camberley, England

    @101andyhibberd @PostOffice @farnhamherald To make you feel better Andy, same situation in Camberley today. Self services machine not working, 2 tills and 12 people in queue. Oh & one till then closed after serving 1 of 12 to cash up or something. 20 minutes later......

  • Jennifer_Cowton Jennifer Cowton (@Jennifer_Cowton) reported from Bracknell, England

    @PostOffice no service in #bracknell #moneyexxhange now as lady is “on a break” eating her lunch at the desk #shockingservice

  • PeterBa82304711 Peter Baker, MA. 🇬🇧 🇮🇱 🇺🇦 #IranProtests2022 (@PeterBa82304711) reported from Reading, England

    @leckston Admittedly it's not the business itself that's causing rhe disruption to mail services but I agree that #RoyalMail & it's #PostOffice arm haven't really acted like the official mail service for many a year. Maybe it is time the lost the 'Royal' prefix status. @10DowningStreet

  • adric_warth Adric Warth (@adric_warth) reported from Didcot, England

    @PostOffice I spoke to The staff at WH Smith where the post office is located & they were surprised when they closed at 1. I then went to the Royal Mail depot to see if they could help & they weren’t even aware that it had closed at 1, as far as they knew it was still open

  • annief1 Anne 🌻💙💛 (@annief1) reported from Didcot, England

    @PostOffice I would also like to point out. The staff really should make people aware of this. The assistant (female) not the older lady, is rude too. I don't live here but my daughter in law does, and assistant is always rude.

  • JOEMRP Joe (@JOEMRP) reported

    @PostOffice @mike_bidde60926 You know what company Mike was talking about ie So Royal Mail and your right about one thing Post Office does not deliver anything and that includes Customer service

  • LilywhiteSimon Simon (@LilywhiteSimon) reported

    @JOSEPH_DAY16 @PostOffice “Trade them in” as in swap them for new ones ~ no, that has never been a service offered by Post Office. You SHOULD be able to pay them in to any high street bank at a Post Office counter, but many branches will refuse even though they shouldn’t.

  • TheRightDan D. (@TheRightDan) reported

    @PostOffice Is your website broken? Trying to purchase currency and it continually gets stuck.

  • pplrstupid977 peoplearestupid77 (@pplrstupid977) reported

    @PatrickNeylan @PostOffice Unfortunately staff shortages do happen. Staff have to man the self service kiosks too so if there is only one person on, they turn them off. A little empathy wouldn't go amiss here...

  • pplrstupid977 peoplearestupid77 (@pplrstupid977) reported

    @taffgall @PostOffice So you didnt fill out a customs form but you expect compensation? Why do you think this is a Post Office problem? Its not, it's Royal Mail who will laugh at you if you ask for compensation when you didnt fill out a customs form.

  • mike_bidde60926 MikeBiddell (@mike_bidde60926) reported

    We privatised the Post Office and left them to it. I did not receive 8 Xmas cards and a cheque for £170. What did they do with them? The PO is now ****. Where is the government's duty of care? They don't give a **** either. @PostOffice @Keir_Starmer

  • Will12317838 Will (@Will12317838) reported

    @PostOffice pay 30 pounds of the service an as expected not arriving on time. The staff specially mentioned it will arrive next day and uses DPD exclusive service. Yet it is delay do unknown reason, is this consider to be false advertising? I need some form of compensation

  • mike_bidde60926 MikeBiddell (@mike_bidde60926) reported

    @PostOffice @RoyalMail How on Earth do they lose people's personal mail? How do they charge for first class mail and only deliver once or twice per week. The people who have taken over the @RoyalMail are taking the money and under-staffing it, producing a very poor service.

  • CharlesTheGuard Charles (@CharlesTheGuard) reported

    So the @PostOffice are now sponsors of drama on @ITV I wonder if that’ll include repeats of #MrBatesvsThePostOffice #MrBates Seems very poor of ITV to accept their money.

    @diabeto81 @PostOffice Luckily I bring multiple cards and cash. The only one I ever have problems is Travel card
