-
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@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.
-
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 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.

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
-
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.

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@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@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@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.
-
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?

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 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.

Artur Nadolny (@ArturNadol7566) reportedPOST OFFICE REWRITES ITS OWN SCANDAL I was reading through the Post Office Process Review page on the corporate @PostOffice website when one paragraph was cought my attention... The PPR, was set up after the Common Issues Judgment in March 2019, the ruling that came out of Alan Bates and others versus Post Office Limited and first forced Post Office to admit its Horizon accounting system was unreliable and that postmasters had been wrongly blamed for shortfalls the system itself created. "Since the Common Issues Judgment in March 2019, we have carried out work across the business to identify products, policies or processes that may have caused financial loss to Postmasters because of the way they were designed or delivered." The background section on the page says Post Office has carried out work to identify products, policies or processes that may have caused financial loss to postmasters because of the way they were designed or delivered. That phrasing removes Post Office as the party doing the designing and delivering. The losses did not just happen because of how something was designed, Post Office designed it. "We wish to put this right in a straightforward and transparent way, and we have therefore set up the Post Office Process Review to provide financial redress for current and former Postmasters who were impacted." A line further down says Post Office wishes to put this right in a straightforward and transparent way. That reads as voluntary goodwill. What actually happened is a court judgment forced Post Office to admit fault after years of fighting the litigation that proved it, and the PPR exists because of that judgment, not out of an independent wish to be transparent. "You may be aware that there have also been other redress schemes available for people impacted by the Horizon IT Scandal. You can submit a request to the Post Office Process Review whether or not you have separately received a payment or have a case in progress through any of those other redress schemes." Then comes the paragraph that caught my attention most. It tells readers there have also been other redress schemes available for people impacted by the Horizon IT Scandal, and that a postmaster can apply to the PPR whether or not they have already received a payment through one of those other schemes. Read on its own, with no background on the case, this makes Post Office sound like an intermediary. Something called the Horizon IT Scandal happened to postmasters, and Post Office is now helping them access redress for it, alongside other schemes that also exist to help. Post Office built and ran the Horizon system. Post Office prosecuted postmasters using data from that system. Post Office fought the litigation that eventually proved the system was flawed, for years, at public expense, before the judgment forced its hand. The redress schemes named here, including the PPR itself, exist because Post Office caused the losses they compensate. The page also treats the PPR issues and the Horizon IT Scandal as two separate subjects, one involving products, policies and processes, the other a scandal that happened elsewhere, to other people, through other schemes. A postmaster or anybody else reading this without prior context could reasonably conclude that Post Office is a well-meaning administrator cleaning up a mess it did not create. Most people who land on this page are not journalists or campaigners. They are current or former postmasters, or their family members, trying to work out if they are owed money and how to ask for it, and many will not have followed the litigation, the public inquiry, or the years of reporting that established what actually happened. For that reader, the framing on this page is the information. If it tells them Post Office is helping victims of a scandal rather than admitting to causing one, that is what they will take away, and it will shape how much scrutiny they think the process deserves. Post Office has spent years controlling how this story gets told, first by denying there was a problem at all, then by fighting compensation claims, and now by writing its own compensation scheme in language that keeps the institution at arm's length from what it did. The wording on this page is small. The pattern is not.

pompanoj (@pompanoj) reported@twasthentisnow @lily_lna @PostOffice Reading further, she is a customer. In which case the manager has lost her mind. It is a store, not a church. T-shirt and flip flops, sports bra and tights, or bikini top and cutoff shorts... doesnt matter. Just sell me my stamps.

☝🏼دختر بد دهن فامیل (@M005h00) reported@TonyGott91 @lily_lna @PostOffice She is a customer you old judgmental fart.

Margaret Gust (@jonsdottir13) reported@sweepybuns @lily_lna @PostOffice I addressed that in a second comment to her - read the entire thread before you decide to disparage other people - she did not make that clear. She just wanted attention - I doubt anyone said a thing to her but she looked like a woman who was going to Room 607 at the Ritz to knock on the door and asking for John! No one walks into any business with a bare back down to her waist without knowing exactly the reaction she will get.

Chris Green (@gwynedd8364) reported@aet4040 @lily_lna @PostOffice 1. It didn't happen. 2. I know she was a customer.

Eneri (@Eneri96752758) reported@lily_lna @PostOffice Don’t understand the problem. You’re not showing anything inappropriate.

Doherty J (@juliedoherty29) reported@ajthfc @PostOffice @lily_lna No I wasn’t but I did get the wrong end of the stick, so there is that. Anyway my bad.

Roger (@roger_boz) reported@lily_lna @PostOffice As a customer I’d say you are fine to wear this outfit, this is the UK after all and you see people wearing less in the street (I am including men in this) but if you were an employee then they may have a point. It would really depend on the company dress code.

Frankie (@FrankieJFea) reported@juliedoherty29 @PostOffice @lily_lna what a horrible reply. She’s a customer in a UK post office. If you have nothing good or constructive to say, please just zip it 🤐
