The Post Office is now the centre for so many things, savings, all types of insurance, paying bills, the list goes on. But I have to comment that I have found the one thing they seem to fail on regulaly is posting letters, or rather charging the correct amount. I post six letters a month, each have the same content, all going to different locations. I take all the letters to the Post Office counter and have each weighed and franked. So why is it that some of the recipiants of my letters are charged an excess, with the postman saying there is not enough postage paid. When I complained to Post Office Ltd. they said it was not the Post Office but the delivery office that ..  Read the complete review

Like many people on here, I have grown up with the Post Office, and have used it regularly since I was younger. The first memory I have was having a little blue book, and I'd go along with my Mum each week and pay in acouple of pounds. This was my rainy day money. My Mum also used to buy me commemorative stamps, and first day covers. Fast forward to the 1990's and I was still going to the post office (not with my Mum obviously:-)) but in order to post bulk amounts of mail for my mail order section of my company. It was around this time that many post offices started to disappear and the queues would grow longer and longer. I am fortunate, in the ...  Read the complete review

I tend to visit the post office at least once a week to post letters and have found it invaluable for my hobby of penpalling. Whilst it's not always necessary to visit the post office to send a letter (you can use the internet or put the stamps on yourself) if you're sending anything of a larger size/weight, to a different country or using a postal method such as recorded delivery then the post office is your best bet (alternatively there is 'online postage' if you want to print things out yourself and they can fit in a regular post box). When it comes to sending post there are a number of different pay categories - regular letter, large letter and packet ...  Read the complete review

I haven't required the services of the post office for ages. Last week, I ventured into the one opposite my place of work during my lunch break to make a payment. I felt like I'd walked into the future. The last time I went into this branch there were 10 cashier windows 8 of which were always empty, a worn out stained carpet and out dated wallpaper. Instead of that, I was confronted with modern decor, 3 sofas and a polished floor. It was more like a bar than a post office. I was plesently suprised. Unfortunately, my love of the new style post office didn't last long. I soon realised that I needed to take a ticket (a bit like a supermarket deli ...  Read the complete review

This review is about the post and go machines available at larger branches of the post office. I use ebay a lot so i regularly visit my local post office, which, unfortunatley for me is in Leeds city centre :( no matter what time or day i go it is always really busy. they have a ticket system for the counters which have useful information such as (your number) and then underneath 'only 65 customers infront of you'!! Being sick of waiting extortionate lengths of time to be served at the counters, u have recently decided to use the post and go system. Leeds has 2 of these machines,and although there is often a pretty big queue for them, they serve ...  Read the complete review
