Post Office Outage in Croydon, Greater London, England

@PostOffice Well we’ve submitted our complaint to Royal Mail so let’s see! Doesn’t help the fact important payment not received in time so our case thrown out of Court!

How come when you post something ‘Guaranteed Delivery Next Day’ and it never arrives neither @RoyalMail nor @PostOffice will take responsibility! #lostmail #importantpapers #lost

@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. 🙃

Hey @PostOffice I paid for travel currency to be delivered to my local PO but it never arrived. I’m off on holiday tmw & now have no money to spend as refund takes 7 days.. #travel #tbloggers

@PostOffice again #hammersmith king street PO and no self service but a queue....#CustomerExperience

@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 please sort out your #Hammersmith store. Ridiculous queues every time we go, at least 20 mins each time, only 1 cashier on and the self service machines out of order. It’s been awful ever since it moved into @WHSmith

@PostOffice such rude staff at your Kingston Road branch in Hampton Wick. I cannot believe how many years I have been subject to this poor level of service and attitude.

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

@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’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 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.

UK 2 hours later the @PostOffice Broadband service is still down.

@PostOffice no Internet. Ring your muppets to report, 40 mins listening to shit whilst waiting for a human being to answer the phone, then the battery gives out on my phone. Absolute shower of shit!!!! Sooner I get out of this contract the better!!! P. S still no f'in broadband!

@BryonyRestDG Even better would be to scrap the @SopraSteria_uk contract altogether for poor performance and go back to the @PostOffice system. No profiteering involved, free where needed and no appointment required #accesstojustice

@PostOffice Just the one person. There appeared be be someone looking after the self service tolls as well but she soon closed these and disappeared leaving a queue of at least 20 customers. It’s maddening when there are at least 3 or 4 positions there with no one manning them.

@PostOffice switched to fibre internet with you, the go live day was yesterday but even though the routers lights are all green there is no connection! Been on the phone for half an hour and no answer! Ridiculous service

Disagree with the Doc here. There are many SOE's if repurposed can fill this void. Transnet, PostOffice come to mind. The latter, seizing lack of courier services on continent with a FedEx type of service.

@MPOram @TalkTalk @PostOffice have the same issue, it's a bizarre security policy which has caught on but doesn't make any sense.

@PostOffice The shop was shut when I got there at 1.45 before it closed at 2pm. We knocked on the window and the owner came and was incredibly rude saying that they're cashing up so should go away

@RoyalMailHelp @PostOffice #Winchcombe #Gloucestershire Co-op now closed.Had bn. given to believe another co. wld. take over Post Office:4 hrs daily initially #closed today, Sat. 16th Nov..NO info. whatsover given. 1 customer outside needed to pick up parcel; others needing P.O.

@PostOffice awful branch at 159 Lancaster Road, Enfield, EN2 0JN. Closed 15 mins before closure and when speaking to staff, they were incredibly dismissive and rude. This close to Christmas that's unacceptable!
