  @L1A75 @PostOffice And that’s the problem I’m afraid. Customers check the website and expect the opening times on there to be accurate. It’s pretty poor if that isn’t the case. Between postmasters and the company it needs rectifying.

  @L1A75 @PostOffice For example, that’s a customer lost now, I won’t bother going back as I can’t be sure it will be open when it’s supposed to be, indeed when they say they are. I will allow another establishment to take their percentage for my transaction.

  @L1A75 @PostOffice I understand that there are limits on small businesses operating hours. I can’t struggle to understand why the businesses can’t ensure their website is accurate. It’s simple customer service I’m afraid

  @xiled4trut20438 @ArturNadol7566 @PostOffice Have you seen the programme and the background work carried out for that programme? However once someone knows that there is a problem then it makes hacking easier to cover - that's for certain. BUT the problems in Ayrshire certainly weren't to do with 'high-value, high footfall' There is of course the possibility that some people in Westminster wished to close Post offices completely - that's a conspiracy theory of course:-)

  @vas_ssy @PostOffice @RoyalMail If it was 1st or 2nd class signed for, it isnt tracked so the only updates will be at the Post Office and when it has been signed fpr by the recipient. Your issue is with Royal Mail.

  @IndiaPostOffice is one of the most inefficient public service institutions, suffering from poor accountability, lack of ownership, and an outdated customer experience. Employees often appear insulated from the consequences of poor service, which ultimately hurts citizens. If meaningful reforms are not possible within the current structure, the government should seriously consider privatization or introducing greater competition to bring accountability, efficiency, and customer-centricity into the system. @JM_Scindia, some immediate reforms that can significantly improve India Post: • Mandatory acceptance of UPI and digital payments at every post office. • Clearly defined and publicly visible SLAs for all services. • Mandatory explanations and accountability whenever an SLA is breached. • A designated officer/team responsible for every stage of a service request. • A centralized grievance, escalation, and resolution system with proper tracking. • Real-time service tracking and greater transparency. • Regular publication of performance and grievance-resolution metrics. India Post serves millions of citizens. It deserves a system built on accountability, ownership, and measurable service standards. #postoffice

  AT 93 BETTY BROWN IS STILL FIGHTING Betty Brown just turned 93 and picked up an OBE from King Charles at Windsor Castle. Lovely photo. Lovely medal on a lovely jacket. What she still does not have, six months after settling her claim, is a single penny of the compensation she was promised. Betty and her late husband Oswall ran the Annfield Plain Post Office in County Durham from 1985 to 2003. The Horizon accounting system built by Fujitsu @fujitsu_uk told them money was missing from their branch. It was not missing. It was never missing. They spent around 100,000 pounds of their own savings covering shortfalls that did not exist, because that is apparently the correct response when a computer accuses you and nobody in charge believes the human standing in front of it. She is thought to be the oldest surviving victim of the Horizon scandal. She was one of the original 555 claimants who backed Alan Bates in the group legal action against the Post Office @PostOffice. She reached a settlement through the government redress scheme at the end of last year. At her OBE investiture in June she said she still had not received a penny. Meanwhile Fujitsu, the company whose faulty software caused this entire catastrophe, has been criticised by a committee of MPs for contributing nothing financially toward the redress bill, which is running toward 2 billion pounds. The company that broke the till keeps its money. The 93 year old it falsely accused of stealing from that till gets a medal instead of a bank transfer. She dedicated her OBE to the sub-postmasters who never lived to see this day. She has said before that at least 13 people are believed to have taken their own lives because of what Horizon did to them. She said she wears the honour for them because she still feels everything they felt. She also had a message for the Prime Minister @Keir_Starmer, asking him directly to sort this out as quickly as he can. That is a simple sentence. It appears to be an extremely difficult instruction to follow. Britain does love turning its victims into heroes once the damage is done and the bill has gone unpaid long enough to be embarrassing. Medals are cheap. Redress schemes, it turns out, are somehow still cheaper for the people who actually owe the money.

  Still cannot find out what has happened to my parcel being sent from the UK to Ireland; @PostOffice and @RoyalMail don't want to help and it is made impossible for a visually impaired person to complain, think I'll be contacting @Ofcom

  Remind me never to avoid anyone using @parcelforce to deliver my parcels. Didn’t leave a card, didn’t take to the @PostOffice as requested and after 3 half hour waits to get through, still can’t manage to arrange to deliver. Useless!
