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.

  • 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......

  • 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

  • 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!

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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 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.

  • 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!

  • 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

  • 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?

  • 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" 🤣

  • 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!!

  • 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!

  • 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 !

  • 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 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

Post Office Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • idbiawoi IDBIA (@idbiawoi) reported

    @davesumnersmith @RoyalMail @PostOffice While blaming and prosecuting sub-postmasters for errors in their crap software that they covered up.

  • ChanderKantDut1 Chander Kant Dutta (@ChanderKantDut1) reported

    @speedpostdandi My wife Passport by article number PP105334140IN received by post office on 20th Oct2022 at 08:11AM by Rudrapur postoffice but still awaiting. Complaint registered but no response

  • sandratizzard Sandra Tizzard (@sandratizzard) reported

    @gospeloak8 @read292 @PostOffice Fujitsu may have been aware of faults but seemingly were not told if they’d affected Spmrs, nor asked to provide the evidence to support their case when prosecuting. A lazy IB with no quest for truth, or a legal team under orders to protect the Brand, at expense of own integrity

  • siancruick Siân Cruickshanks (@siancruick) reported

    @RoyalMail @PostOffice paid for Special Delivery twice now. 1st time delivered a day late. 2nd time my letter is still showing at my local post office nearly 36 hours after posting. What’s the point of offering a service you can’t fulfill?

  • scotlandpage Michael Dee 🧡 (@scotlandpage) reported from Glasgow, Scotland

    @davesumnersmith @RoyalMail @PostOffice It went from being a public service to a plc serving shareholders

  • Mark_doodle Mark Dobson 💙 (@Mark_doodle) reported

    @davesumnersmith @RoyalMail @PostOffice The RM has been stripped back and exploited to the point of breaking. Its all about squeezing profit at the expense of service.

  • stuartcturnbull Stuart Turnbull (@stuartcturnbull) reported

    @davesumnersmith @RoyalMail @PostOffice It started before privatisation where they were put in the position of having to provide the full UK service, while courier companies weren't, but then negotiated for RM to do the 'last mile' at discounted rates. Then, have you seen the profits taken out?

  • lukebarton Luke Barton (@lukebarton) reported

    @RoyalMail @PostOffice Post Office sold me a 24hr service. 'Industrial Action' causes delay. Post Office blame Royal Mail. Royal Mail blame Post Office. If it's not 24hr service, don't sell it as such. Take some responsibility. Both of you are crap companies and deserve to fail.

  • sumatsgottagive John Kemp (@sumatsgottagive) reported

    @CarrollJackie99 Thanks. Hadn't heard of this. but WHY on earth can't you change them in the @PostOffice ?? We've got to got to the trouble of sending them in to get them swapped! FFS 😡

  • AmBeR1994m Amber Millington (@AmBeR1994m) reported

    If my parcel isn't at my @PostOffice again ready for collection I will be near flipping. At who I don't know. Baring in mind I have to pay extra for this & I don't drive etc. I'll never use @RoyalMail again if I can avoid it.
