Instead, the area to the left of the ramp now has lots of interesting stationery and other knick-knacks - notebooks, wrapping papers, local interest books, games and general 'stuff'. It's a good place to browse for that little stocking-filler present for somebody. The other side still carries a good selection of cards. Things have gotten busier now, and there's often a longer queue for the post office than there used to be. They do have a self-service machine, but I've always found it unreliable and seldom trust it to complete a transaction without something going wrong. It's worth keeping an eye on the shop counter while you're queuing for the post office, as they will often call you over if they're not too busy.

The shop/post office/cafe was quite busy which is great a new business. The gift shop section is packed full of gems like Nikki McWilliams cushions (you know the ones, they're shaped like biscuits), posh salted caramel marshmallows, sewing kits, notepads - so many beautiful Glasgow gifts. The shop is also full of interesting non-generic greetings cards. I spotted about 5 which I am planning to buy for people's birthdays. The gift shop adds an extra place in the West end to shop local. The cafe section is small but an welcome addition. We opted for a chemex for 2 as well as a slice of jaffa cake cheesecake to share. They get their cheesecake from The Artisan Cheesecake company based in Bathgate, which a firm favourite with a work colleague. The cheesecake was well worth it and was beautiful. However I would recommend sharing as it is really sweet. The coffee was delicious and I was so happy with our chemex as it meant I had more coffee to look forward to. I think I will definitely be heading here again for their coffee/cheesecake/shop/post office.

I would disagree with the previous reviewer - it's sad, but compared to other post offices I've…read morevisited (and i visit quite a few in my dealings with ebay!) it is quite decent. Small queues, and I've only ever received friendly and efficient treatment from the employees here. Still rubbish of course, in the grand scheme of public services, but we've come to expect that from the Post Office now, and this one at least has a spark of convenience in it.

As for the post office itself? Well, it gets three stars because of its friendly staff. In actual fact it's rather irritatingly shoehorned into a small RS McColl's meaning it's a complete nightmare to queue in. For that reason, you should really do your best to visit at less popular times. And preferably in the school holidays.

Now though, the post office is franchised to the Spar that it co-locates with. Result being, it's the Spar staff who now man the post office counter. Which is great.

No bureau de change though.

There are three sets of service desks: Self-service, business, travel and everything else. I forget how they labelled this one but it seemed to be for just regular non-business customers. There was a long queue when I arrived but they cleared it pretty quickly, I don't think I waited as much as five minutes to post my parcel. The staff member helping me was friendly and helpful enough although not very on the ball. He did try to sell me a credit card which I've not seen before but maybe this is a new thing to try to get the Post Office to make more money. They also have some stationary and bits and pieces on sale, things like jiffy bags and bubble wrap and they're advertising a deak at the moment where you can get cheap travel insurance when you get your travel money with them. It's handy enough if you're in the city centre but it's a little but chaotic and I suspect at peak times those queues get really long.

There are less Post Offices around these days, and for me it's a toss-up whether this one or the…read moreHillhead one near Oran Mor is closest to walk to. Most often I end up at the Hillhead one as I usually have other stuff to get in Byres Road, but I secretly prefer the Partick one, as it's still a dedicated post office and not a counter stuck at the back of a shop full of a maze of shelving stuffed with greetings cards and other crap that you wouldn't even normally bother to look at if you weren't visiting the post office bit. The Partick one is mercifully free of third-party product, it has plenty of space for the inevitable queue to snake back and forth, and although frequently busy, it's usually well staffed enough that things move along moderately rapidly. I've also had occasion to come and collect parcels here when I've missed the delivery (or the postman couldn't be bothered to attempt the delivery), although I'm not quite sure how that works as usually you have to go to the main sorting depot in Clarence Drive. The only downside is that the repetitive musical jingle from the Postman Pat ride will drive you insane while you wait. I don't know how the staff put up with it, but I guess the brain must tune it out after a while. I'm always tempted to unplug the cursed thing when I'm in there; or even worse resort to some major remodelling of Pat's van with a large blunt instrument.

Luckily any parcel deliveries I miss go to the Thornwood Post Office, which is just further along…read moreDumbarton Road. This is good because Partick Post Office always has a long queue and the service is so. painfully. slow. Perhaps this may be attributed to the overwhelming amount of coffin-dodgers that come here for all their postal needs? Slow motion with me...

After amassing some postcards over the first approximately fourteen days of my heritage travel trip…read moreto Scotland in July 2019, I was looking for a place to buy stamps so I could mail them before departing a few days later. The Sandyford Post Office was located a couple of blocks from where I was staying, the Argyll Hotel, so I stopped by on a walk. Sure enough they had stamps, and at a good rate. Other services were available including shipping and mailing, but I was waiting until my last full day to mail them - so I just went with the stamps. They were pretty in purples and blues and were enough to get the cards to their destination.

I went there today to print 15 pgs,one sided black and white and they wanted to charge me 22 pounds…read morefor it. That's a scam! After I questioned the price the guy told me that was the rate for all of the post offices in the area. Ended up charging me 10 pounds after pressuring me to pay by saying that he had already printed the pgs and I needed to pay. Anyways I checked the receipt and it only says 10 pounds withdrawal, and no mentioning about the services I got. I called the central office (customer service complaint) and they will be conducting an investigation in this location. Left a review on google and owner left a rude comment putting the blame on me for not checking the prices on the printer which by no chance it was visible and honestly this is not the rating for printing anywhere (it's usually a couple of cents). I spent hours with people on the phone today and theres no way that they could have charged me 22 pounds for basic printing services. Be careful out there everyone, even in difficult times like this there are people trying to scam. By no chance I thought this would have happened at the local post office.

The owner has this place looking immaculate with an open layout, fantastic staff and some great additions to make your wallet itch, like a Bradfords bakery counter. The outside of the shop looks shiny and new, with lots to entice you in. The Subway's a great idea to get more people through the door. It's definitely lifted the look of the whole area and I'll be making it my first port of call instead of the Tesco Express 300yrds down the road.

They sell a wide variey of items from basic groceries (milk, bread, eggs, cheese, deli meat, hand fruit, chips, candy, frozen items), liquor, envelopes, office supplies, flowers, converters, and other odds and ends. I've never purchased anything from the Subway area of the store but it can get quite busy. They're open daily from 7AM - 10PM and were even open on Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, and New Year's Day. The location is great - right next to two popular bus stops, and they also have an ATM on the corner.

All you can do here is send parcels or buy stamps. That's it. It's bizarre, but this Post Office sticks in my mind more than others, and in all honesty I quite like it as I can imagine that I'm an extra from Mad Max when I'm in here, sending out a few postcards before a dangerous trip out on the wasteland.

I love this little place. It does what the sign says - and nothing else. It is exactly what a Post…read moreOffice should be. There's no pretending it's something else. There's no 'Birthday's' or 'Thorntons' concessionary here trying to take advantage of poor sods who've only just remembered an important card or parcel worthy event. Best of all, due to it's bleakness and purely functional purpose, it's usually really quiet and the few people who may be queued do so in an orderly fashion. There's no dilly or dallying going on. No-one jumping in and out of the queue in order to pick up some vitally needed bendy pen with fluff stuck to it's top or some such nonsense. No sir. It's a small local Post Office with allows you to post stuff. Bravo.

This is a typical combination post-office-cum-corner store deal, they sell cards, stationery, newspapers and small gifty things to distract you as you're waiting in the inevitable queue for the post office counters at the back. The staff seemed very cheery, even under the pressure of Christmas postings, and there was a good bit of banter going on between them, so it was difficult for anyone to get cross over the length of the queue. With all 5 counters on the go, things moved along pretty quickly anyway. Top tip - remember to go to the right when you enter as that's where the post office queue starts. It's difficult to see it behind the rack of cards and it is tempting to go down the left-hand side. But you'll be sorry if you do!
