  @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

  @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!

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

  @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.

  @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.

  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!

  @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 !

• 
  Adric Warth (@adric_warth) reported 15 minutes ago 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

  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?

• 
  Anne 🌻💙💛 (@annief1) reported 16 minutes ago 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.

  The Rock Box Record Store (@RockBoxRecords) reported 27 minutes ago 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......

  @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.

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

• 
  Fiona Anderson (@FionaLegal) reported 46 minutes ago 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!

• 
  Dan Adams (@CamberleyDan) reported 46 minutes ago 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

• 
  Anne 🌻💙💛 (@annief1) reported 47 minutes ago 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.

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

  @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

  The Hectic Teacher 🙋‍♀️ (@HecticTeacher) reported 8 minutes ago

  @CStewartSHS @PostOffice Having done something similar I still cringe that I actually said to the rude person - with appropriate teacher glare: "Excuse me sir, but would you like to be spoken to in that manner?" The guy must have been in 20 years older than me and to be fair did look rather sheepish.

  Nicola E (@angel200379) reported 12 minutes ago

  @PostOffice @RoyalMail @RoyalMailHelp I would like to arrange a postal redirection for my dad who died last week. I know I need to go to a Post Office to sort this out, can I go to ANY post office with relevant forms & documents or does it have to be 1 offering a specific service

• 
  Leo (@leojfor) reported 13 minutes ago

  @PostOffice how do I speak to someone regarding a complaint I raised two months ago! That hasn’t been resolved

• 
  Mike Dowling (@theman_theego) reported 14 minutes ago

  @PostOffice They sent a letter asking for docs with 21 day deadline, sent within 2 or 3. Returned them on 19/7. Then on 28/7 said I have not supplied. Told on phone issue due to processing, because of covid.....!?! So you guys messed up, but I have to jump through hoops to do it again!?!

  Julie (@_Julie_i) reported 15 minutes ago

  @CStewartSHS @PostOffice Good for you ... there's just no need for it, especially when they then expect that person to help them.

• 
  Steve (@Wimblebear) reported 17 minutes ago

  @CStewartSHS @AlStewartOBE @PostOffice And a reminder to us all that, should we be tempted to behave like that (which, for avoidance of doubt, is Bad Behaviour but we are all tempted from time to time), to think on. The person behind you might be a teacher! Well done milady.
