  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • 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......

  • 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

  • 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?

  • 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

  • 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" 🤣

  • 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.

  • courtneyishere Courtney Hodgkiss (@courtneyishere) reported

    @mintcustard @PostOffice Sent @NBurman a parcel at the beginning of august. Got my investigation into it back today saying it should be there by the 14 October. Glad I paid for the express service.

  • Mr_DominguezO Javier Dominguez (@Mr_DominguezO) reported

    @PAULIP0CKET Oooh Anatomy, que fancy. When I was learning about parts of the cell I would literally copy down all the different parts and try to make analogy about their function to help me remember. Only things that work for you, for ex I thought the Golgi Apparatus was like a postoffice…

  • Dhananjay9191 Dhananjay Kumar (@Dhananjay9191) reported

    @IndiaPostOffice I live in Dist Basti,U.P. My nearest postoffice ASNAHRA PIN 272194. No any Speed Post/ Parcel Book from 15 days from my post office asnahra. Postoffice employee answered about this matter....This service will start after 10-15 days,Other postoffice Distance 15km

  • morseamy Amy Greig (@morseamy) reported

    What happened to Customer service at the @PostOffice ? Why can’t they politely ask does your parcel contain any of these items on the list. Instead of being rude and asking “well what is it” then being asked to list what’s inside.

  • stephendathomas Steve Thomas (@stephendathomas) reported

    @PostOffice Is your travel money card web site down?

  • AlGorham Alan Gorham (@AlGorham) reported

    @PostOffice the line that never moves - WH Smith Bon Accord/St Nicholas. Self service chap not serving customers, one person on till duty, none of the remaining staff offering to serve customers. Only one of the 9 queue customers can self-serve. Who'd be in a hurry?

  • karenteacher09 Karen (@karenteacher09) reported

    @PostOffice Still no progress with this 2 weeks on from when we were overcharged and the staff were rude. Customer Care have issued a letter for £2.02, I will have to drive to a Post Office and queue up with ID to redeem this.

  • OttoOsirian Otto Osirian (@OttoOsirian) reported

    Once again back at Cheltenham High Street @PostOffice and once again it is shite customer service with no staff on counters and once again I will get an apology from you and nothing will change

  • AndyTijou Andy Tijou (@AndyTijou) reported

    @PostOffice why don't you have more people working in your town centres? The few staff you have look stressed and over worked, they are sat at positions next to each other, so not social distancing, and as a customer, I don't enjoy waiting for 20 minutes, no-one does.

  • perkypolitical Adam Perkins (@perkypolitical) reported

    @RoyalMailHelp @PostOffice Yes realise that but parcel is immediately passed to RM and RM is the carrier. The RM link suggests that if sender is happy with duty unpaid a CN22 is sufficient. ANPost in Ireland disagree and said "You will need to contact RM as they know what the issues are". Very unclear.
