  @PostOffice Hello, I wanted to send a Birthday card to my Mother on Ireland, my local PO in Ringmer said there was nothing I could do, I asked if I could use Parcelforce to send it and they said no that PF were also effected! Is this correct? do you have an guess when service will resume.

  @PostOffice Nothing on ya’lls part tbh it’s actually the weirdo’s that post offices seem to attract that kill my vibe huffing and puffing down my neck in the queue cos they gotta wait for 5 mins or longer to be seen to but I appreciate the concern luv x

  @PostOffice who can I complain to about staff running a local branch. They are rude, unhelpful and always seem to close well before their advertised time.

  @PostOffice 15 people in queue at Brighton Churchill Square post office and only one counter open. Self serve points all closed. The speed of service here becomes slower with every visit.

  This awful person @EdwardJDavey should be in jail. He also helped the corrupt @PostOffice prosecute innocent sub-postmasters and trousered over £270,000 for so doing. Monstrous.

  @itsolelehmann Do I carry it to the garbage or to the postoffice. The world is full of choices.

  @PostOffice I asked to use the self-service equipment to send a parcel. The team leader said 'No, the manager says we don't allow that.' Why not? 'None of your business. I don't have to tell you. I don't work for the Post Office.' Can I speak to the manager? 'He doesn't work here.' /2

  @BJP4Bengal @SuvenduWB @SamikBJP Language. The post office employees of my town dont want to speak in bengali. Just imagine,so many elders from rural areas come to postoffice for so many works, they dont know anything except Bengali, they have so much problems for simple works in post office.

  @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:-)

  @DazWould @PostOffice There's no such service as 'Recorded Delivery'. The options are Special Delivery - tracked & signed & guaranteed next day, which is £9.95 or Signed for, 1st class which is £3.80 or 2nd class £2.77. PO clerk will have asked questions to determine which service the customer meant

  Unlike my experiences with @PostOffice and @WilliamHill who fought me every single step, refused to apologise, and never properly fixed their mistakes, at least Sky has shown a real difference. This highlights how some companies seem to think they’re above the law, above being challenged, and completely unaccountable for their actions and decisions. Importantly, it’s not about companies always giving in or admitting the customer is right every single time sometimes the customer can be wrong. But when the customer has clear evidence that proves their side of the story beyond reasonable doubt, it shouldn’t be difficult for a company to simply say: “Yes, we made a mistake here’s your full payout.” Take the £5.75 @WilliamHill owed/owes me but refused and still refusing to pay properly they should have just admitted the error and fixed it. Why do some companies struggle so much to be honest and say sorry when things go wrong? It doesn’t have to end in long adjudication processes or court battles. Disputes should be settled fairly and quickly through agreement, not turned into fights.
