Post Office Issues Reports Near Reading, England

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

  • 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

    @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.

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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 feel really really let down & will be lodging a complaint. Please can you provide the phone number for you complaints department

  • 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 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. 🇬🇧 🇮🇱 #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 !

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

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

  • 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!

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • 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 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......

  • shedoverheels Leo Harverson (@shedoverheels) reported

    I have never come across such a miserable #postoffice worker as the one today at Mill Hill @coopuk in Cowes, Isle of Wight. I think she judged me by my appearance and clearly felt my presence as a customer offended her. Thankful other local alternatives will be open soon!

  • EmilyKoch Emily Koch - away for a while (@EmilyKoch) reported

    @PostOffice @rchdnv Hi Richard/@PostOffice I have the same issue - can I clarify what is the advice with this, please?

  • rchdnv Richard D (@rchdnv) reported

    @EmilyKoch @PostOffice The service is called "freepost name" -- the whole idea is that a postcode is not required. So use the image of the receipt to show the staff at your post office how to complete the cert of posting.

  • aaronbepacook Aaron Cook (@aaronbepacook) reported

    @AmazonHelp Picked it up today. It wasn’t scanned in by the post office when it arrived yesterday morning. @PostOffice letting folk and business down.

  • siany_d Siân Davis (@siany_d) reported

    @PostOffice At one point both staff were serving ond customer. When i finally got to the counter there was no sorry to keep you or thanks for waiting

  • God_loves_women God loves women (@God_loves_women) reported

    She paid for a technician HERSELF to find out what the problem is, a faulty router @PostOffice. She has had it for a decade, so it’s done well. She has requested a new router and you are refusing to provide one without doing further tests.

  • AbiFarr abigail farr (@AbiFarr) reported

    @PostOffice why are there different bereavement departments for Post Office savings & Post Office ISA's? Need to go through the process again, which Inthought I'd done. Can you use the documentation for one account to the other? Why not advised at time? The call centre script bad

  • NPhilatelics NorvicPhilatelics: Shop open now, new products (@NPhilatelics) reported

    @positivelypost @BarbadosStamps Doesn’t seem likely that they don’t have some sort of handstamp at the counter. If they accept outgoing special delivery, or any large letter or parcel with stamps on they are obliged by @PostOffice instructions to cancel those stamps. They are not supposed to cancel incoming.

  • santilofish Adrián Villaseñor (@santilofish) reported

    @PostOffice says my parcel is at my collection point. Collection point says it is not. Can you help me please? I do not understand how these things can happen.

  • siany_d Siân Davis (@siany_d) reported

    @PostOffice @WHSmith Worcester post office is a joke, monday morning and ive been in queue 30 mins so far. Nobody manning self serve so customer there also frustrated as waiting for approval
