Post Office Outage in Croydon, Greater London, England

@PostOffice I think my postman has been kidnapped! 🤨🤨 ain't seen him since last week and I've had nothing in my letter box since Tuesday last week, which leads me to believe he's been kidnapped by some long legged blonde! Poor bloke!😔😔😔

@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 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.

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.

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

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

@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 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 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 🙄 😠

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

@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.

@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

@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 #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

@DVLAgovuk I'm beyond confused! Two weeks ago I took my renewal form to @PostOffice and paid for the check and send service: there was no form, they took my photo, I now have my licence. I just want to know why this facility isn't available in Nuneaton. Please answer this question someone.

@PostOffice I'm very annoyed because it was a gift and she made me fill out the form. I'd like to make a complaint

@PostOffice So I'm guessing that this is not correct. The staff member insisted with me. The branch is Whsmith in Crawley. An absolute nightmare staff under trained and no customer service

@PostOffice branches in Hayes and Uxbridge have long queues and few staff. Self service machines not working in Hayes, and Uxbridge there is no one to help in using them.

@nickwallis @CWUnews @NFSP_UK I suspect @NFSP_UK’s directors, & past & present officials, haven’t been attending any of the High Court hearings either to support and buy the coffees for the Spmrs they deserted rather than fight their case against @PostOffice. #postofficetrial

@CWUPostmasters @PostOfficeNews @Jusmasel2015 @PostOffice Current CEO is also terrible. Boring, zero enthusiasm. Post Office is a place for those who enjoy slash and burn tactics. No forward thinking skills. They need entrepreneurs with a vision for the future with SPMR pay on a sustainable living

@chrish9070 @MarkWildblood @CWUnews Yet this organisation of just 16 members refuses to seek any betterment of the T&C’s Spmrs work under. It supports @PostOffice in the #postofficetrial rather than its members who it deserted in their hour of need and the EC sold out the network to NT in exchange for POL funding.

@nickwallis The @NFSP_UK cannot represent SPMRS in any way as it does not hold the necessary certification or Collective Bargaining Agreement. Being a Membership Association that’s fully funded by @PostOffice it can never be in the required position. #misrepresentation #falseclaims

@PostOffice Take survival supplies if visiting the Branch in WH Smith Peterborough, on a good day could you wait 50 mins to be served by 1 cashier, and no other staff or machines to help. Day in day out. No change in over 2 months

@PostOffice I had one of these at my local PO at the time. I never was allowed just to come in and drop the parcels off without queuing up first.
