    @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!

    @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.

    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?

    @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......

    @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.

    @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

    @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.

    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 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

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

    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!

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

  • 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!

    @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.

    @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 !

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

Post Office Issues Reports

  • TheBossnME
    Mark 🐈‍⬛... (@TheBossnME) reported

    @DonaldPond6 @PostOffice The "Post Office" isn't (and never has been) Royal Mail, which is the price you'll be seeing, and paying online. The Post Office is a UK Government agency. Royal Mail is a private company.

  • MihirFx
    Mihir (@MihirFx) reported

    @AHewitt973255 @DonaldPond6 @PostOffice Sweetheart my mum is old too. She is 72, She struggle with many tech things but that doesn't mean she complain about digital world. Instead she find her way to do it old way. Where necessary she seek help and get her job done. She is also using Facebook and other social media too to keep in touch with other family members. Blind people can't see, still they find their way around rather than complaining about others. Disable people cannot do many things too, still they find their way around rather than complaining about people who can do things normally. If you can't drive then get Uber but don't complain about why others are driving. Not their fault.

  • j_lufc_3
    . (@j_lufc_3) reported

    @DonaldPond6 @PostOffice Royal Mail & PO are separate. And that will not have been for the same service. It’s slightly more at the counter in my experience, such as £5.05 for Tracked24 instead of £4.45 online.

  • pjdcums
    PJDCUMS (@pjdcums) reported

    @DonaldPond6 @PostOffice The local post office is about to close - when I asked why he told me this exact same thing. He has to charge far more than people can buy the same service online. The Post Office hates local post masters. Probably trying to recoup the Horizon compensation from them!

  • Dave89579103

    @DonaldPond6 @PostOffice Because customer service went out the window as wages have gone up, time is money... More employees is less profit.

  • amcjrdeg
    jon (@amcjrdeg) reported

    @PostOffice my brother sends me parcels to Norway.uses same post office each time and we have seen that the shipping cost is excessive. today , trying to keep costs down. Got a quote online of around £27. why did the woman at his post office try charge him over £50?

  • Jordon3Jane
    JaneJordon3 (@Jordon3Jane) reported

    @gm2112rush @DonaldPond6 @PostOffice The Post office for decades was run as if it was a service provider of the Government and had 30,000+ outlets. The largest retail network in Europe yet the management and successive Governments totally missed the commercial opportunity to generate income/ profit s. They were some of the last to install ATMs, they farmed out Government services to other providers and the advent of internet transactions was the final naik- all of this went from very profitable Sub Post offices to loss making within about an 18 months period.

    @PostOffice @tgjonesuk None of the self service machines working in your branch in Sutton and only one till open!

    Especially when if we are lucky we get only three actual deliveries a week. Often down to just two most weeks @RoyalMail @PostOffice

  • mmc02939722
    mmc (@mmc02939722) reported

    That’s total baloney. Your service is horrible. I thought the Postoffice was the worst in history now you can’t even deliver. Something’s been sitting at the terminal for two freaking days every day. It’s a new excuse and another day added to the delivery time.
