  • rahim94 Rahim™ 🇬🇧🇲🇦 (@rahim94) reported from Southampton, England

    @_bowandarrows_ @PostOffice meh... I'm done with them. there's bigger issues atm as you've probably seen recently

  • KeithMitchell_ Keith Mitchell (@KeithMitchell_) reported from East Cowes, England

    Travelling need to redirect mail from a temporary address at end of redirecting period on line @PostOffice and @RoyalMail #CustomerService appalling can’t help me complete waste of time

  • Philip471 Philip Woods (@Philip471) reported from Shanklin, England

    @PostOffice No problem. Adding to my earlier point, the last posting date for surface to USA/Canada was more than 2 weeks ago. If the customer wanted to send Xmas cards that way, it wouldn't have got there until after Xmas/January. May be worth bearing in mind before talking to that branch.

  • Philip471 Philip Woods (@Philip471) reported from Shanklin, England

    @PostOffice The reality is that there is no service that guarantees delivery in 24 hours on Parcelforce International services. Even before the pandemic, such a vision is impossible. If you read Parcelforce's website, it says delivery is from the next working day, not delivered the next day.

  • JulesFM Jules Field (@JulesFM) reported from Southampton, England

    @PostOffice They still show as an option, but when you select that particular one it then fails to appear as where you want it delivered to. Not just me, happens to others too. Other POs seem fine (e.g. Portswood down the road).

  • JulesFM Jules Field (@JulesFM) reported from Southampton, England

    @PostOffice After Amzn repeatedly sending stock responses teaching me how to use pickup locations, I finally got their "the customer is well pissed off" stock response, which asked me to call them. I've explained in words of 1 syllable & they are going to look into it. Will let you know!

  • Philip471 Philip Woods (@Philip471) reported from Shanklin, England

    @wweLovatic4ever @PostOffice Sounds like a scam. Royal Mail would never ask you to pay £1.99 for redelivery. They would have left a card if there was a parcel that couldn't be delivered.

  • PipRichardson Pip Richardson (@PipRichardson) reported from Southampton, England

    @PostOffice seriously can’t believe you are not allowed to lend pens out to customers because of #COVID__19 . #gooddeedforday just lent another customer my pen! She was so grateful ... #littiethings that matter !

  • Philip471 Philip Woods (@Philip471) reported from Shanklin, England

    @RichieTheFruit @PostOffice I think the PO should clarify that statement a little bit more. They can accept Tracked 24/48 if they are returns to online retailers ie. Amazon, H&M etc. but it’s only the Tracked 24/48 that specifically comes from RM’s Click & Drop service which can’t be accepted at a PO.

  • Philip471 Philip Woods (@Philip471) reported from Shanklin, England

    @PostOffice You sure about that? Seeing as I work in a PO that also does the Check & Send service. The help pages on Horizon, combined with the training workbook and the booklet supplied with the form directly contradicts your statement. Even when renewing online, they still ask for photos.

  • Philip471 Philip Woods (@Philip471) reported from Shanklin, England

    @PostOffice I only jumped in to that thread as you were implying to the customer that it was possible to do such a thing when every counter clerk in the country will tell you the exact opposite. Unless, by postage labels, you meant buying postage labels online which would annoy all clerks.

  • DeadPigeonSoc The Dead Pigeon Society) (@DeadPigeonSoc) reported from Fareham, England

    @UBn9ohogz0XOFWP @PostOffice Totally agree!! Seriously bad and ill thought out advertising tactics from the Post Office! 😡

  • Philip471 Philip Woods (@Philip471) reported from Shanklin, England

    @PostOffice @ellaloui_se Surely it depends on what the stated weight, actual weight and service used is? EG. If the parcel was 2nd class and both stated weight and actual weight were in the right price bracket (for example both under 2kg), would it actually matter as the price would be the same anyway?

  • Philip471 Philip Woods (@Philip471) reported from Shanklin, England

    @_EmmaBeswick @PostOffice I may be able to help you out. A tracking no. would only be available on International Tracked & Signed or International Tracked services. Usually the tracking no. would start with RN or LB or similar. The French courier would be La Poste.

  • Brynwales Bryn Jones🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇬🇧🇪🇺🏳️‍🌈 (@Brynwales) reported from East Cowes, England

    @coldhardfacts7 @PostOffice @DVLAgovuk Richard I asked a question I didn't require abuse #idiot

  • Philip471 Philip Woods (@Philip471) reported from Shanklin, England

    @PostOffice He’s talking about online returns, not labels purchased from the Click & Drop service.

  • Philip471 Philip Woods (@Philip471) reported from Shanklin, England

    @PostOffice @marcball90 If it's a Royal Mail service, the max compensation is £250. For certain Parcelforce services, it can go up to £2500 but be prepared for a hefty price tag.

  • ShellLovesCats Shell. Ice Skating Is The Best (@ShellLovesCats) reported from Lymington, England

    @PostOffice is there a known issue with post office broadband? Went down half hr ago, comes back briefly few mins at most with weak signal then gone again

  • Philip471 Philip Woods (@Philip471) reported from Shanklin, England

    @samrogersphotos @PostOffice Second class tracked is a service that doesn't exist, that's why. You have 2nd class signed for, which is not tracked but gives you confirmation of delivery. The other service that vaguely resembles your request is Tracked 48, which you cannot buy in a PO anyway.

  • Courty40 Paul Court (@Courty40) reported

    @PostOffice Wanted to give you an update. Went to the Sydenham branch and they couldn’t have been more helpful. Lovely people who went OTT to help. Bromley and Beckenham need to take a few lessons from Sydenham 👍🏻

  • James85fletcher James Fletcher (@James85fletcher) reported

    Sent my driving licence renewal to @DVLAgovuk on 10 June via #PostOffice. Told 10-14 days. Yeah, right. I kept the receipt, thankfully, as I have heard nothing since. No passport, no access to democracy under Tory plans. Fingers out, DVLA. WTF? #InstitutionalDisenfranchisement

  • TomBookman1 Stephen Bookman (@TomBookman1) reported

    @PostOffice hello, I just sold a item to the EU via eBay and I have got the new IOSS label that you just put the marketplace name on. I am just checking that I don't need to write down the ioss number on the parcel?

  • DeaneDaphne daphne deane (@DeaneDaphne) reported

    @CStewartSHS @PostOffice A memory of my son about 3 years old in a post office. At the counter he kept saying hello lady hello lady to the woman serving at the counter. She totally ignored him. It made me so angry. I shouted in a loud voice I'm sorry the lady's ignoring you.Not everyone's that rude.

  • barbzmrk 🫀 (@barbzmrk) reported

    my mail came today and it became a whole commotion in my building bc the admin thought it was broken, they were talking about making a complaint.. it turns out it was just protective stuff making noise inside the box MY NEIGHBOR WAS READY TO DRIVE ME TO THE POSTOFFICE FOR NOTHING

  • _Julie_i Julie (@_Julie_i) reported

    @CStewartSHS @PostOffice Good for you ... there's just no need for it, especially when they then expect that person to help them.

  • StVitusDance Chloe (@StVitusDance) reported

    @PostOffice That's the problem The photocard is with DVLA having PCV added ...had it for weeks In the meantime the entire licence (B) expired I understand can drive IF renewal in progress Buy can't even start the process as you STILL haven't added the PCV
