Post Office Outage in Ilford, Greater London, England

@PostOffice can you confirm. I am sending a small item today. Fits easily as a large letter. Was asked what in contained as told "as not a letter can not be sent as large letter must be small parcel". Never been asked this before.

@PostOffice your Kings Cross branch need to check their security of parcels! I’ve just been to post a parcel and the “air lock” is full and open on the customer side. So anyone could steal the parcels. Tried to tell the counter staff but they weren’t interested

@MichaelSnasdell @RachaelDunlop @PostOffice Brockley Rise one was alway good, but not working that way anymore have to use Forest Hill 😢

@PostOffice Yes as you would expect at this time of year. Most of the customers should have been encouraged to use self service, but due to lack of understanding about how to operate and whether it took cash, they opted for the customer assistants. Better service at the self service, IMO.

@PostOffice I was passing by so didn't need it today. But this is just one of many complaints locals have about thus sub Post Office which includes rude staff.

Postal service in Catford is aweful. It’s so intermittent and then Postworker delivering after 10pm Scared the hell out of me. Not cool. @RoyalMail @PostOffice

The @PostOffice won't give me my own money back in store. Stay away from their travel card - it's an awful deal and they will hold your money hostage. 🙃

@PostOffice why am I waiting for a long time more than 10 mins at Islington branch. Only two staff and long queue. Not good service

@PostOffice Of only there was on in our town centre - no wait - you closed it down !!

I’ve just had the most horrendous experience at @PostOffice @PostOfficeNews and trying to make a complaint has never been so long

@PostOffice I’ve submitted a complaint via web form. The staff in the WH Smith’s branch on Harben Parade, London NW3 really need some customer service training. Being on the receiving end of rude, dismissive, and hostile attitude is unacceptable. Sort them out.

@PostOffice just a small complaint. Had a parcel delivered today, left in the food waste bin, so far no problem, except the bin was about half full of food waste. Had to clean my package outside before opening it and bringing it in.

@PostOffice the post office Lewisham is a farce. Hardly any staff, long queues, little help and massively over complicated touch screen self service tills just to make a simple parcel postage. Ridiculous.

@PostOffice @Tesco I don’t know who employs the staff at the post office within tesco Front Lane Cranham RM14 but your member of staff Michelle is so rude and unhelpful. I suggest you do some staff training. All the staff in the actual store are lovely, so I imagine she is P.O.

@PostOffice when is the postal service going to get better at their job

@PostOffice @RoyalMailHelp Thanks for that but I already have & we are NOT supposed to receive any of the crap distributed by the Post Office. However the poor sod delivering it is desperate to lighten the weight of their over filled bag of rubbish so put it through the letter box anyway!😬

@PostOffice Thanks for your help. I'm assuming that we don't need the customs stickers for the EU until told differently then.

@PostOffice internet service is the biggest rip off going, i’m supposed to pay £21 a month but end up with bills of £40 a month, and the service is never actually working, yet again my service is broken. So angry 😡 right now. Sort out you’re service

@BalhamDailyPRSS @DuCaneCourt @BusinessWandBC @NightingaleSMcD @TootingPRSS @naturalforbaby @NNsw1217 @weareBATCA Great news about the @PostOffice - save us having to queue for 20 minutes for the dubious pleasure of being treated like shit by the miserable bastards in the main #Balham one!

@PostOffice Other staff members would not help, most of them finding refuge behind the door. 40+ people waiting in 2 queues, main desk & self service tills. A guy decides to close the self service despite the queue, insults clients who complain and ask him to finish the queue b4 closing

Whew. The way this letter of complaint is going to get written to @PostOffice. I am fuming. Fuming.

@PostOffice @BootstrapCook So much excellent advice from the Post Office to help us save money. An extra tip is to only use free email to send messages as oppose to using stamps to send letters

@PostOffice Staff were rude to a number of customers, pushing people out of the way without saying excuse me, threw my letters on the side, no care at all.

The worst cues found in the country have to be the @postoffice 20mins to hand in a return item cos people are trying to send hand cream to America... Come on mannnnnnn

@PostOffice since your Walthamstow Central branch relocated service quality and staff knowledge has gone out the window. This is what happens when you make experiences staff redundant as part of so called cost cutting.

Can't believe lady in @PostOffice jay said to a lady if you can't speak English I can't help you

@PostOffice @coyleneil you used to have self service in Walworth main Post Office. Now just humungous queues

@PostOffice About 15 minutes so not too bad, but it did seem poorly staffed for a busy post office.

@PostOffice Hi, I would like to make a complaint about the useless staff in the Brentwood branch.

@PostOffice No thanks. It’s not about a specific branch; it’s about a general trend where the quality of the service environment is diminished and squeezed. I could give a long list of places. The direction of travel saddens me.

@StarlingForBiz @StarlingBank @Xero @PostOffice - Xero integration Me: yeahhhhh finally 😊🤠🤠🤠🤗🤗🤗🤗 - "CSV exports help you handle the numbers. " Me: 😫😫😫😤😤😤😤😤😤😤 It's not an integration, it's a mockery

@PostOffice I’ve sent a fragile gift in the post that was thoroughly bubble wrapped and in two envelopes. Item has arrived broken and receiver has put her hand in shards of glass. Very bad form and could be dangerous!!

@PostOffice appalling service in East Dulwich post office. 25 people waiting 2 people serving and another employee avoiding eye contact and working on something else!!

@PostOffice why don’t your self service card payment machines accept Amex, but your counter card machines do? Specifically your London Wall PO.

@StopFundingHate @Specsavers @DFS @BritishGas @LoveWilko @bt_uk @coopuk @ScSSofas @PostOffice @TUIUK @AskHalifaxBank @SlaterGordonUK @British_Airways @Fidelity_UK @SandalsResorts @FundsmithLLP @NOWTV @ImagineCruising Look. Just read up at StopFundingHate, and change your advertising policy. Then we'll stop telling people that you support bigots. Deal?

@PostOffice I have been served downstairs and find it fine, a friendly and ordinary shop experience. My experience is that to go upstairs is where the customer service and the wait time is unacceptable. That’s all I wanted to comment.

@PostOffice It’s every visit. A 30min queue to wait in and two women who bark ‘Counter Three’ at you, my last visit a week/ish ago was 45 minutes in a queue of over 20 people whilst one lady served and one did something admin at a v leisurely pace. Really poor attitude from staff upstairs

@PostOffice When am I going to get an update? It’s been a day already and I’m running out of time. The customer service people I speak to don’t seem to be able to help. IF this statement doesn’t arrive soon my wife will be deported (we have a 7 week old baby!) You have to help and fast.

@PostOffice The Post Office has put me through SO much and now you’ll change me £10.50 because your back office team are too incompetent to actually do their jobs? I’ve never had such awful service.

@PostOffice ... also, people need to be disciplined, this isn’t a service! I need my bank statements ASAP and I need to be apologised to. Your back office team have put my family through so much stress and we’re now in such a critical position. Fix this. #PostOfficeMoney #BadService [3]

@PostOffice The 0800 and 0345 people are the same. The manager I was promised earlier failed to call me, this is a dispicable service. I called again, the person I just spoke with promised she’d get it escalated and posted out 1st class. [1/2]

@PostOffice Jess, I always use this - 0345 602 3409 - number, that’s who I’m awaiting a call from. Will the people on your 0800 number be able to actually help me? I’m getting nowhere with this and my wife’s at risk of being deported due to your colleagues incompetency.

@hoovesonfire @GreenwichCouncl @PostOffice Calm down and do some work/is stuffed peppers ok for dinner?

The surly woman in tracksuit bottoms rolled her eyes at me and said she couldn't help. The @PostOffice folks.

@PostOffice ... As trust has broken down, I will be publicly recording the exchange on twitter. I will be asking for written access to my records, written confirmation of the cancelling of the card and compensation for the grief. 7/

@PostOffice ... all on the phone, no confirmation email or letter. But I took details down. They’re somewhere I hope in my packing (I’m moving this week) 4/

When you send really important documents by express delivery to be signed for with @RoyalMail and they don't turn up!!! Thanks Royal Mail for your terrible, unreliable, over priced service! @RoyalMailHelp #badservice #royalmail #postoffice

@PostOffice Hi, what's the customer service phone number? I'm sure I'm being daft but I can't see it on your website.

@PostOffice What is the phone number to make an official complaint about threats of violence from post office staff

@PostOffice Any chance you could send East Ham WHSmith Post Office staff on a customer service course? Ignorant, accusational and deeply unhelpful barely scratches the surface.

@PostOffice Sutton post office on a Saturday, 2 members of staff and queues round the shop. Been waiting 20 mins already. Poor service

@PostOffice I think my daughter's partner is on the phone now but not getting anywhere. Due to the rubbish service they are trying to cancel

@PostOffice v rude female employee at Chorley depot this morning berating customer for wrong placement of label in front of queue.

@PostOffice broadband is still not working! They are now being told that an exit charge will apply even though the service that they are paying for still hasn't been provided. Rubbish!

@IndiaPostOffice When the recipient received the parcel. It seems it was oped and again packed badly. Recipient quickly opened the parcel and share the feedback with postoffice verbally along with a complaint. At sender location also i raised the same issue. But they refused.

@PostOffice Hi. I’m afraid I can’t provide an update as no one has called me back. I have given then 5 days to get back to me (they said they’d get back the next day). Any help would be much appreciated.

@PostOffice It’s was your broadband service that we called to see why my partner was getting charge for her lastet bill when she had all ready cancelled her contact

@PostOffice Thanks Ryan. Felt sorry for the poor woman but I didnt bother queueing and adding to her misery.

Gotta go to the postoffice tomorrow so if you'd like to treat yourself, it'll be on its way almost instantly 🌞

@PostOffice so my girlfriend has just paid her bill with my card speaking to the customer service team didn’t ask for my permission or any data protection questions even ask if it was okay to use my card and then when we questioned them about it they said no they don’t need them
