  • 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.

  • 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 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?

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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 !

  • 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......

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • 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.

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

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

  • 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

  • Yofuckthepigs Dj V (@Yofuckthepigs) reported

    @newyork7575 @PostOffice @ShellEnergyHome Oh but now you know never use shell for anything because they will break families apart children will go without food and domestic violence will be on the rise but shell will shove their profits up their backsides.

  • rabiespatient0 schizophrenic stoner (@rabiespatient0) reported

    Nothing like waking up to the postoffice telling you that the packages you never got "were definently delivered"

  • emmakkkay em (@emmakkkay) reported

    @PostOffice hello, trying to top up my travel card and it keeps saying the payment system is down, is there any update about when this will be fixed?

  • addsridhar Sridhar Babu Addanki (@addsridhar) reported

    @DrSJaishankar kindly check this issue sir... Many known persons telling that applying at postoffice psk is taking 3 times than the days took to get passport from passport psk.

  • cherrysparkler Cherrysparkler ✨ (@cherrysparkler) reported from Peterborough, England

    @PostOffice As usual only one staff member on, who is the slowest in the world, 2 self service stations, not working. About 15/18 people in the queue.

  • Sirsockpuppet13 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Sir Cumcision CBE 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (@Sirsockpuppet13) reported

    @Chrissieann444 @WonPeople Yes youre right, I just looked online and its just a checking and submission service at the postoffice ...

  • star_boi Ry.i.am (@star_boi) reported

    And the staff shouldn’t cop the poor management and understaffing of such a vital service to a community! I would use the @RoyalMail app but it doesn’t accept the weight of the parcel I’m putting in, and is pretty user-unfriendly! Sort it out! #PostOffice #Tesco #RoyalMail

  • jayden47520664 jayden (@jayden47520664) reported

    @PostOffice hello,I’m writing to inform you that your staff in the Small Heath branch B10 0SH are literally the rudest staff I’ve ever seen anywhere in my life. Especially the ladies working there. I have never in my life been treated worse than this.This attitude need to change.

  • philmybrain Phil (@philmybrain) reported

    Hi @PostOffice I used your Passport check and send service on Wed but realise I don't have tracking number to see if my passport has arrived at the passport office yet. It was "next day" but apparently hasn't arrived. Is there any details I can give you to track this please?

  • Yes_That_Steve Man’o’Beard (@Yes_That_Steve) reported

    @JurgenKloppDog At least neither of us actually worked for the @PostOffice as sub-postmasters and were charged with theft or imprisoned when we were completely innocent but @fujitsu_uk denied their Horizon software was the issue. Thank **** for that…
