TrustpilotOld, slow, ignorant and useless.
No live chat, no on hand solutions. E-mails take "3 working days to reply to, but may take longer during busy periods". This is 19th Century level of service, not the 21st Century... Well - apart from e-mails, but might as well have used the telegraph or morse code. Useless.

TrustpilotSignage, Signage, Signage...
I wanted to share a quick observation from my visit to the post office yesterday in Frome (Portway).While waiting in what I thought was the only queue extending outside, I later discovered a second counter inside the shop. Unfortunately, there was no signage indicating this, leading to some confusion.Dear Postmaster/Mistress, a simple sign at the entrance could help customers easily spot both counters and avoid unnecessary waits.

TrustpilotPassport service is poor.
Went to 2 post offices advertised as renewing passports on their web site, neither could do it, including the main branch in a large market town. Max Spelman did it in 10 minutes filled in the paperwork and sent it off, renewed passport received in one week

TrustpilotLong queues outside the door
Long queues outside the door. One person serving. One on banking -. Not a fair queuing system - if the banking till can do post office duties, then there should be one queue for all. Already been waiting 25 minutes and still 5 in front. When car parking charges come in I won’t be using this post office with this kind of slow service.

This company has an overall view they’re doing you a favour, forgetting who actually is paying for a service that is then poorly carried out. Just the worst state the PO has ever been in. Careless argumentative entitled behaviour. Sorry for the few decent backbone staff. Sad. Not the first time I paid for 48hr service and been given 2nd class service..

Sorry to hear this and thank you for your comment. However, we aren't responsible for the delivery of items and we only accept letters and parcels over our counters, the rest is taken care of by Royal Mail who are a separate company. They should be able to help if your card hasn't turned up! - Tom

TrustpilotNo Response from Post Office
I emailed the Post Office general email address in February, 4 months later I still have heard nothing. They are as bad as Royal Mail are now, feel we can’t trust anyone. Customer service appears to be poor whoever you contact.

TrustpilotPost office in Bury (Lancashire)
I went to Bury post office to get them to do a digital passport renewal. They were so helpful and efficient, and when there was a delay in getting notification that the passport office had received my old passport, they looked into it and provided me with photographic evidence of delivery. Excellent service, I will certainly go there again.

TrustpilotI used the Brazil Post office in Hull…
I used the Brazil Post office in Hull about 4 years ago to send a birthday card that had a ten pound note in it, I sent it registered post, and 3 weeks later I was sent a £60 charge from Civil Enforcement Limited for not entering my registration number. I sent them a copy of the receipt, but they just ignored it and increased the changes. This carried on for about a year then I thought it was dropped as I didn’t hear from them for a while, then a few weeks ago it all started again with a county court summons and now it stands at £ 380.00. Also I have to pay to the courts £ 108 for an application to defend myself??? I dont really have any idea what this application is for, but if I dont pay then I have to pay Civil Enforcement Limited the £ 380.00. I just cant believe it, the post office basically says tough luck, despite using their services, and the people at Brazil Post office say it has nothing to do with them although they have a machine inside, which apparently you have to enter your registration in when you use their services, I thought I was supporting local businesses, but from what I have discovered about these people who own the post office building is far from being nice. I really hope that justice will prevail and the Post Office along with the people who own the building get what they deserve in return. It’s a complete and utter scam supported by the Post Office and the people who own the Post Office building

Before computers the post office was totally reliable, now at least once a month you go in " oh the computer is down, the printer is not working, we've had a power cut." Pretty hopeless.

Don't trust the opening times online and these lot have their own times to open and close.Service is rubbish, they can hardly string a sentence of English together so it must be frustrating for themselves and customers.The state of the store has gone downhill since the new owners have take over.Just a joke for a trusted post office.

TrustpilotPost Office not telling the truth
Received tracked parcel with 48 hour delivery from posting over 60 hours later BUT the Royal Mail tracking service reported it as delivered on time on 31 May. Parcel arrived 1 June. So on the system it shows they met the target but this is Not the Truth. The Post Office are still not to be believed.
