  • 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!

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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 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.

  • 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.

  • 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 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.

  • 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

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

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

  • 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......

  • 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 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.

  • 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 !

  • 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?

Post Office Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • Lost_In_Films_ LostInFilms🎬 (@Lost_In_Films_) reported

    @PostOffice I just get error message but that could be down to local MP email she's useless never answers them. Three times over the years contacted her never recieved a reply.

  • TheDonOfSorare The Don (@TheDonOfSorare) reported

    @siany_d @PostOffice @ClaireEWebb If they are campaigning to save physical money then I would have thought that they would support its use by offering such a service. Just seems a bit backwards, that's all.

  • morseamy Amy Greig (@morseamy) reported

    Are the self service machine open in your Sunderland @PostOffice city centre store?

  • baronesspawsey Louisa ⭐️⭐️ (@baronesspawsey) reported

    Local @postoffice still has self service machines shut because it’s not safe because of Covid. Made me wait in a queue for 15 minutes I could have been in and out in that time

  • Heidi21355239 Heidi (@Heidi21355239) reported

    @PostOffice having major issues contacting someone regarding my passport renewal. I did a digital check and send a week ago and my old passport hasn't been received, despite being assured it would arrive next day at the Passport Office. Wish I'd just done application at home😩.

  • angrymum63 Maggie Smith (@angrymum63) reported

    @KelticDelta @bluedaysomeday @PostOffice Exactly everyone is different, some people can only get money at night because they have anxiety or have other issues.

  • LeilakYasmin Yasmin Patel (@LeilakYasmin) reported

    @PostOffice Bad taste advert shame on you!

  • DigitalStefan Stefan (he / him) (@DigitalStefan) reported

    @NWitchtea @zasch17 @PostOffice Nope. That’s what I think is called a straw man argument. I haven’t broken or lost a phone in 20+ years. It’s unlikely to be stolen. It is extremely unlikely to be cloned in such a way as to bypass all my 2FA.

  • CJamesKitto Carl Kitto | I ♥ MISCHIEF COMEDY (@CJamesKitto) reported

    @RoyalMailHelp @PostOffice Sorry your Strood Post Office. My partner went to drop a parcel off for me today and had an awful experience.

  • Wesenior  Wendy Senior  (@Wesenior) reported

    @kirstydthomas @PostOffice No love you’ve missed the point. They will still need help whether they have cash or not!
