Post Office Issues Reports Near Portsmouth, England
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in Portsmouth and nearby locations:
-
Philip Woods (@Philip471) reported from Shanklin, England@PostOffice The reality is that there is no service that guarantees delivery in 24 hours on Parcelforce International services. Even before the pandemic, such a vision is impossible. If you read Parcelforce's website, it says delivery is from the next working day, not delivered the next day.

Rangers@Bognor (@Rangers_Bognor) reported from East Wittering, England@TDisposition @PostOffice Tip for today . Never laugh at your own jokes ps your blocked 🤡
-
Philip Woods (@Philip471) reported from Shanklin, England@PostOffice @ellaloui_se Surely it depends on what the stated weight, actual weight and service used is? EG. If the parcel was 2nd class and both stated weight and actual weight were in the right price bracket (for example both under 2kg), would it actually matter as the price would be the same anyway?
-
Philip Woods (@Philip471) reported from Shanklin, England@PostOffice He’s talking about online returns, not labels purchased from the Click & Drop service.

Philip Woods (@Philip471) reported from Shanklin, England@PostOffice @marcball90 If it's a Royal Mail service, the max compensation is £250. For certain Parcelforce services, it can go up to £2500 but be prepared for a hefty price tag.
-
Philip Woods (@Philip471) reported from Shanklin, England@wweLovatic4ever @PostOffice Sounds like a scam. Royal Mail would never ask you to pay £1.99 for redelivery. They would have left a card if there was a parcel that couldn't be delivered.
-
Philip Woods (@Philip471) reported from Shanklin, England@_EmmaBeswick @PostOffice I may be able to help you out. A tracking no. would only be available on International Tracked & Signed or International Tracked services. Usually the tracking no. would start with RN or LB or similar. The French courier would be La Poste.
-
Philip Woods (@Philip471) reported from Shanklin, England@RichieTheFruit @PostOffice I think the PO should clarify that statement a little bit more. They can accept Tracked 24/48 if they are returns to online retailers ie. Amazon, H&M etc. but it’s only the Tracked 24/48 that specifically comes from RM’s Click & Drop service which can’t be accepted at a PO.

The Dead Pigeon Society) (@DeadPigeonSoc) reported from Fareham, England@UBn9ohogz0XOFWP @PostOffice Totally agree!! Seriously bad and ill thought out advertising tactics from the Post Office! 😡
-
Philip Woods (@Philip471) reported from Shanklin, England@PostOffice No problem. Adding to my earlier point, the last posting date for surface to USA/Canada was more than 2 weeks ago. If the customer wanted to send Xmas cards that way, it wouldn't have got there until after Xmas/January. May be worth bearing in mind before talking to that branch.
-
Philip Woods (@Philip471) reported from Shanklin, England@samrogersphotos @PostOffice Second class tracked is a service that doesn't exist, that's why. You have 2nd class signed for, which is not tracked but gives you confirmation of delivery. The other service that vaguely resembles your request is Tracked 48, which you cannot buy in a PO anyway.

Keith Mitchell (@KeithMitchell_) reported from East Cowes, EnglandTravelling need to redirect mail from a temporary address at end of redirecting period on line @PostOffice and @RoyalMail #CustomerService appalling can’t help me complete waste of time
-
Bryn Jones🏴🇬🇧🇪🇺🏳️🌈 (@Brynwales) reported from East Cowes, England@coldhardfacts7 @PostOffice @DVLAgovuk Richard I asked a question I didn't require abuse #idiot
-
Philip Woods (@Philip471) reported from Shanklin, England@PostOffice I only jumped in to that thread as you were implying to the customer that it was possible to do such a thing when every counter clerk in the country will tell you the exact opposite. Unless, by postage labels, you meant buying postage labels online which would annoy all clerks.
-
Philip Woods (@Philip471) reported from Shanklin, England@PostOffice You sure about that? Seeing as I work in a PO that also does the Check & Send service. The help pages on Horizon, combined with the training workbook and the booklet supplied with the form directly contradicts your statement. Even when renewing online, they still ask for photos.

Artur Nadolny (@ArturNadol7566) reportedPOST OFFICE JAILED AN INNOCENT WOMAN Imagine. You run a small @PostOffice in Hull. You show up every day, you serve your community, you do the job. Then one day a computer program called Horizon decides you owe £59,000 that never existed. A computer program with a known glitch problem. Post Office didn't check the software. It just marched Janet Skinner into court in 2007 and got her jailed for 9 months. She served 2 behind bars. She lost her house. She lost her job. She lost her name in the eyes of her own neighbours, all because nobody in a position of power fancied questioning a machine. Here's where any decent organisation would stop digging the hole ... The Post Office kept digging. A year after she walked out of prison, they hauled her back into court again, this time chasing her for "proceeds of crime." Proceeds of a crime she never committed, calculated by a system that couldn't add up in the first place. Bold strategy from the people who broke the calculator in the first place. Less than two weeks after that fresh nightmare finally ended, Janet's body gave out completely. Neurological collapse. Paralysed from the neck down. Doctors told her she'd never walk again. She spent a year in a wheelchair and two years learning to walk. She says her own immune system turned on her. Years of fighting a system that refused to admit fault, and in the end it was her own body that surrendered first. So how does this story end? With an apology? A cheque that actually matches what she lost? Of course not. In 2025, after everything, the compensation scheme handed her an offer worth around 15% of her claim. Janet called it an insult. I'd call it a joke, except nobody's laughing, least of all the people who wrote the offer letter from the comfort of a job that still exists. 9 months in prison for a bug. 2 years in a wheelchair for the stress of proving her innocence. A payout that wouldn't cover the damage to her health, let alone her life. And somewhere, the people who signed off on her prosecution are still drawing a pension. Nobody who signed off on any of this has lost a house, a job, or a night's sleep. They got promotions. She got a wheelchair and an insulting cheque. Accountability had every chance to show up here and chose not to.. SOURCES @BBCNews @itvnews and others.

Dave Soper (@DaveSoper1959) reported@PostOffice A kind lady has just delivered my post that was delivered to Modbury Gardens in Reading. I am in Torrington Road. My post regularly goes to Totnes Road and Axbridge Road and I normally eventually receive it. But what is wrong with you people? How much do I never get?

DeRey (@DeRey0602) reportedWe had the PostOffice of SA that failed. They had a concept called Fastmail. How did they fail when our government had both SAA and Rail systems? By association they would have monopolized the post and courier space. What went wrong?
