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

  • 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 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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" 🤣

  • 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.

  • 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 !

  • 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!!

  • 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......

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • 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

Post Office Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • whosjonnym Jonathan mead (@whosjonnym) reported

    @PostOffice Same reply I got on the phone. If I used the app to top up it would be at a worse rate than buying it in cash on your website, 1.107 in app and 1.134 on website. If you sign in on website it automatically changes your rate to the lower value. Losing £18 in £500.

  • flinky478 Gin-ette02 (@flinky478) reported

    @PostOffice got winter insurance through you (via Csal) their service has been appalling. Waited 10 months 4 them 2 pay on a claim, hospital threatening 2 sue us,& now they haven’t paid the additional costs incurred from them not paying in the first place. Outrageous.

  • chromedome21 Nige Wardle (@chromedome21) reported

    @PostOffice Would be nice... Was supposed to pick up my Dollars up for my trip to USA this week, and all i'm getting from sub post office is it still showing pending as their system down. Will never exchange with the PO again. Edit, just rang the PO, (now mon) syst still down and no dollars

  • michaelocyoung ᴍıchæl ᴼc Young (@michaelocyoung) reported

    @luisagottardo1 @Telegraph Also my commute is now 10 seconds, not an hour. I don't have to worry about my cats not being fed for 8-10 hours at a time when the other half's shifts cross over with mine. Also we've never missed a package being delivered for 2 years so we don't make trips to the postoffice

  • xenatheworrier Xena-worrier-Princess (@xenatheworrier) reported

    @PostOffice The number you gave is for car insurance claims. This is as I said, a travel insurance claim. We had our van broken into whilst in Italy and they stole a load of our belongings. I've tried contacting your travel insurance claims dept they just send "sorry we've a backlog" emails

  • cbarchak Chris Barchak 🇫🇮🇺🇸🇬🇧 (@cbarchak) reported

    @PostOffice What are the closest branches to West London that are not broken?

  • AnnCope16 Ann Cope 🖖⚽️🏳️‍🌈📽📺 (@AnnCope16) reported

    @TomTugendhat @PostOffice @TMBC_Kent My postie in her 50s. Has a bad leg. Worked through pandemic. Posted letters checking in on me during pandemic. I'm OK with inconvenience if means she and others get a fair pay and working conditions.

  • dgarethrichards Gareth Richards (@dgarethrichards) reported

    @PostOffice You have let down the residents of Treharris Ward (one of the largest populated in @MerthyrCBC ).Closed without a proper consultation and promises that it was on hold due to the pandemic

  • SCJ37 Sarah C Johnson (@SCJ37) reported

    @PostOffice #travelinsurance your complaints email doesn’t actually read the email, it sends a stock answer! I’ve now had this 3 times! I just want to access the #legal help which is part of my policy.

  • kerry06598023 kerry. (@kerry06598023) reported

    @PostOffice staff are rude and unhelpful have been trying for months to open an account. Stupid system and now unable to claim back £100.
