  • 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!

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

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

  • 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

  • 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 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.

  • 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?

  • 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

  • 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 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.

  • 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.

  • 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 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

  • 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

  • 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. 🇬🇧 🇮🇱 #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

  • 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" 🤣

Post Office Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • notjustdad Terry Burgess (@notjustdad) reported

    @PostOffice Today, around midday. Several others turned up with parcels too. Don’t get me wrong, it’s great that it looks like we’ve got a permanent PO in town. But… frustratingly poor comms as no pre-warning notices on past visits.

  • melmcnamara22 ❤️❤️ (@melmcnamara22) reported

    @PostOffice words fail me between post office & Royal Mail it’s been absolute nightmare still not settled still missing not informed of cyber attack when handing letter over would never have posted if we had known

  • swearycoeliac Lenore 🤦🏻‍♀️ (@swearycoeliac) reported

    Anyone else having issues trying to renew their driving licence at the @PostOffice? I’ve tried a few different branches & they’ve all had errors on the system when trying to process the application. Giving up & applying by post now 😑

  • TiredPubDad Matt Evans (@TiredPubDad) reported

    Today, an adventure has begun! How many @PostOffice stores can I visit and ve told they can't deliver an advertised service... 2 down, who know how many to go...

  • siany_d Siâny D (@siany_d) reported

    @AzzaLufc @PostOffice @parcelforce The po branch shouldve advised you that parcelforce have yet to reinstate international service guarantees since covid

  • ed_marriage Ed Marriage (@ed_marriage) reported

    Postal system is broken. No mail for 10th day running. Main city post office (now squeezed into WH Smith) has 2 assistants & queue of 20 customers. No blame attached to the poor posties & long-suffering staff. Blame lies with feckless management of @RoyalMailHelp & @PostOffice

  • Maracudas Coosy (@Maracudas) reported

    The login page for @PostOffice home insurance doesn't allow you to paste or autofill passwords. This might encourage people to use simpler passwords, and prevents use of password managers. You should change it.

  • Elljayfish Laura 🔴⚪️⚔️ (@Elljayfish) reported

    @PostOffice what is the point of the service in Laughton, South Yorkshire? Never open, the most unreliable staffing I have ever seen! Pop in today and told to come back Monday! Not acceptable as a public service!

  • mediocre_dan Dan Brown (@mediocre_dan) reported

    @PostOffice I have travel insurance and go on holiday later this week. I have sprained my ankle (definitely not broken), do I have to declare this to you? And will it effect the price of my policy? I can still walk and don't envisage it impacting my trip.

  • RobDavi52027767 Dob Ravies (@RobDavi52027767) reported

    If you want to see a totally broken customer experience first hand, head over to Shrewsbury Town Centre @PostOffice. Just be sure to give yourself plenty of time if you actually want to post anything.
