Post Office Outage in Hayes, Greater London, England

@PostOffice Yesterday I posted my old passport to the passport office having renewed online at home and the po counter person commented on it saying how great it was. I agree! But I'm glad you still do this for folk who aren't comfortable doing it online. Because the paper form is awful.

@PostOffice I arrived just after 1300 hours to post a birthday card overseas and left at 1342 hours. None of the self service machines were working as you can see. Staff were swamped. Queue well peeved.

@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.

I don't often send moany tweets but genuinely the @PostOffice in Ealing is the most depressing place. Always a massive queue and too few staff and just horrible atmosphere. Gross.

@V_PaleParsons @Nigel_Farage @PostOffice @JimMFelton @peoplesvote_uk @Andrew_Adonis Calm down dear...to quote an old ad phrase. 😂

@PostOffice No problem!

@PostOffice Not quite true. Whilst it's open the self service functions are both out of order. It's crazy in this day and age to have to queue to post one greetings card.

@PostOffice Stephen, this was not a one off. The staff are very pleasant, just never enough of them. Since moved from the original stand alone site, the service has only gone backwards I'm afraid.

@PostOffice As you will no longer have a banking service after the 11th September, is this not superfluous to your business profile.

@PostOffice This happens all the time the lady that works there is rude and unreliable closes when she feels like it. like she's on flexi hours just picks and chooses. We generally have no idea when this place is open or closed. this as this is the worst service ever for a massive company

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

@PostOffice Hayes branch severely understaffed, causing very slow service. Also, the self service machines aren’t 100% self service as branch staff need to log on to complete transaction... slightly faster than queuing, but not much! #poorservice #postoffice

@PostOffice horrendously slow, incompetent service at Hayes Post Office - huge queues and no assistance on the self service machines

@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

Joke at the post office, they call this service, lots of waiting, one person serving, 3 auto machines not working, no wonder there going under, just utter crap #postoffice #hillingdon #fail #phillipgreen

@PostOffice The WHSmith in Ealing Broadway is closing down next week what will happen to the postoffice inside

@RoyalMailHelp the WHsmith in Ealing Broadway is closing down what will happen to the postoffice that is inside the store. It closing next week

@NManormani @hammersmithandy @WHSmith @PostOffice I never go in / the experience is appalling. They are gone very soon. I thought they were Post office staff operating within @WHSmith not passed to work them. This is privatisation of the post office.

Thank you to the lady at @WHSmith @PostOffice who sent me on a wild goose chase and wouldn’t wait for 10 seconds after 6pm for me to send my post out. Customer service is being a nice person is just non existent it seems.

For goodness sake! Bad enough @CoopBankUK_help doesn’t have any branches! Now the @PostOffice doesn’t have any paying in envelopes! 🧐

Prime collection time & just before Christmas @PostOffice #lavenderhill One person operating the customer service collection point. Needless to say there is a very long queue 🙄 😠

@PostOffice Yeah, apparently they can only help 9-5 M-F. Unfortunately I’m at work then.

@PostOffice 5 minutes ago. Always such poor service. Only 2 desks open.

@PostOffice Well done guys. Ur website advises DBS counter service availabke at Ealing Broadway but after queuing up and wasting time was told this is not the case. Unbelievable ineptitude. #timewaste

@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?

@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.

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

Bought a @PostOffice Pre-Paid Travel Money Card yesterday. Tried to activate it today and had to call them to find out we had been given a dud card. They are sending us the money back but in order to get it by the earliest possible (tomorrow) we have to pay £21. Awful!

@PostOffice I was waiting 40 minutes before being served. Poor girl had been left on her own and was in tears when I left. Very tense, as if someone was about to kick off at any second. An older lady was being rather unhelpful and impatient and demanding her to phone the manager.

@PostOffice Uxbridge.... one member of staff on a Saturday morning? Such a disappointment and such a horrible atmosphere. Self service out of action too.

@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 #PostOfficeBroadband is utterly terrible can’t wait for the 18-month contract to end so I can switch. #broadband

Please stop bothering me with texts @PostOffice saying I must call you to complete an order I never made #nuisancecalls

@PostOffice Can I just put on one sheet "items 1-400 all standard service to Europe"

@PostOffice Thanks Jess just wanted to raise this to support that our #PostOffice should be a reliable consistent institution to relay on.

What was the point of the #Walworth @PostOffice #refurb it looks like a building site, a pointless shop where the self service stations where and never more than 2 staff at the 6 desk station? @RoyalMail #wasteoftime #londonliving #se17 #se1

@PostOffice Hey Jess shutters on windows were already down by 5.50 when walking up, someone had just left & they locked the door and at I was tapping and waving at the window they stated to close the electric door shutter. #annoying as I scheduled my day route to go to that #postoffice

@PostOffice Hi Stephen yes it was this morning about an hour ago can’t praise his service enough!

@PostOffice no wonder no one uses you! Apparently I can’t pay a cheque into my @firstdirect account there! Even though it clearly says I can. Train your idiot staff please!

@PostOffice ridiculous when you wait for a parcel to be redelivered then hear the letterbox go to the door to find another redeliverly note. Had a cheek to leave the note without even knocking or ringing the bell and when I opened the door sped off down the road! So incompetent!

Philpost service really suck. They dont deliver your package door to door both ems and airmail. Difference of 2 is that i can claim airmail at my city postoffice while ems i need to travel to their main office which is 3 hr bus ride lmao

@markyeg @PostOffice There was an awkward hug, but as I not only looked, but smelt, like a hobo I didn’t hang around!

@eniolaxx @PostOffice @MumsnetTowers Wow! That is terrible! Sorry you have to go through that!

@PostOffice Thank you. I was made quite a few promises by the customer services supervisor on Wednesday and nothing has materialised since.

@PostOffice I appreciate terrible customer service is the default standard in the UK, but frankly I’m not sure who’s worse-you or the cowboys at @OpenreachHelp who are completely unaccountable given that Ofcom is a wet lettuce.

@PostOffice I’ve had multiple phone calls since then. Empty promises from your customer service team. No response from Openreach. You’ve got my number, call me.

@PostOffice I have a complaint about your document verification service. And that has to do with the fact that all my bank accounts and utilities are now online (paperless). So I had to print out a utility bill (which does have my address on it). The Post Office branch...
