As my local post office for three years, I used this place a fair bit. It is located at the back of…read morethe Londis shop, making it easy to combine with picking up a copy of the Guardian (on offer at the student price for everyone) or some chocolate digestives. The post office itself isn't very nice to look at. There is an A4 sign printed out to warn you of just about everything the post office doesn't do, or that you shouldn't do in the post office. Despite the fact that there is always a long queue at this post office, the staff are really helpful and seem to be patient with people who can't speak English well or at all. The annoying thing about this post office is that the post office shop is not actually a part of the post office, therefore if you want a jiffy bag or some parcel tape you have to queue up in the Londis queue and then queue again at the post office. I found this out the hard way (after putting the contents of my parcel into the Jiffy bag, writing on it and spending 15 minutes queuing at the post office), but later discovered that had I have read the A4 sign I would have known better.

Before the boyf and I did the Big Move In Together, it became clear that I had accumulated enough…read morecrap to sink a barge, and the boyf made it quite clear that despite our mutual love and respect, he would much prefer that our Big Move In Together did not include a box full of never-used handbags, my Point Horror books or three ball gowns from my sikth-form parties (I don't know why the dresses and the books made it to Uni, let alone my post-Uni dwelling, but they did, OK?) So, I realised, there was only one thing for it: eBay. During what I like to term my eBay Months, I visited this post office around three times a week. I, too, was at first stung by the confusing queue-here-for-this, here-for-that system, but once I worked out my arse/elbow dilemma, I was right on track! The queue here can be massive around lunchtime, but it shouldn't take you more than 25 minutes to be served. The staff are the same every day, and in my eBay Months I built up quite a bit of banter with Young Post Office Man and Grumpy Old Post Office Witch. The counter staff know basically everything about post, which means they serve very efficiently (hence the fast queue). Annoyingly, there seems to be a total signal-blackhole in the queue, meaning you can't even text your way out of boredom. I am absolutely being 100% honest when I say I prefer this post office to the one in the city centre. It's a good honest postie's, with ugly greetings cards, bad radio, and grumpy staff. Just like the good old days!

Never have I had worse service than at this post office. All the staff were rude and disrespect…read more Their equipment in their premises is not working. I used the equipment without knowing this because there was no sign to say it was out of order. the machine took my money, and when I went to explain this to the staff, they started huffing and puffing and acting like it was my fault. One of ladies (staff) started shouting at me and making threatening comments. Absolutely horrified that people are allowed to work in yhe service industry. Disgusted that no action will be taken against the individual who treated us with such rudeness and disrespect.

Located on the busy Stockport Road, this post office looks tired and old. There are some tattered…read moreflags hanging on rusty flagpoles outside, and the sign is faded. Inside things are perfectly clean and orderly, in fact it betrays the impression its exterior gave me. I absolutely love it when post offices combine being a post office with selling odd little items too, some of which have nothing to do with post or stationary. Stockport Road Post Office is a prime example for this. Here, not only can you post a parcel, but you can also buy confectionary, insoles for your shoes, cigarettes behind the counter and Daz washing powder. Excellent. The staff are pleasant and well-presented and the queue moves quickly so that despite the lack of those self-service machines which I love so much, I'm sending my parcel within just a few minutes of walking in.

I'm…read moresomething of a connoisseur posting things wise and I really do appreciate a good post office. My current favourite is the central Manchester branch because of those joyful self-service machines for letters and packets. Obviously I appreciate that not all post offices can be like this. North Levenshulme Post Office is dead small which is perfectly ok, but seems to be in disarray. It's kind of one of those shops that's half a shop and half a post office, and everything in here seemed to be a bit of a mess. Like they were in the middle of totally rearranging the shop or something. Only I'm not sure they were. Oddly enough, they had zebra print handbags for sale in here. No joke. But as a post office it works just fine, with two windows at the back of the shop. It's a post office. Does what it says on the tin.

I walked in and noticed I had a couple people waiting in the queue in front of me... The lady behind the desk was on her phone chatting to her friend... Maybe family whilst serving customers! Rude?! When it got to me, I had a few things to post so it's a good thing she ended the call (not sure if it was ended or just put it down until I'd gone). I asked for the items to me posted 2nd class recorded delivery. So she scans them all, and I have a feeling she hasn't put the recorded delivery stickers on, just stamps. So I ask... Are they recorded? No, she says! She hadn't heard me when I had told her the first time because she was on the bloody phone!!! Which then meant having to add on extra stickers/change prices to my items.

Went to the Post Office (near to The Plough and the Co-op). Waited outside to see if the proprietor…read morewould come out and speak to me. Could not go in, sign said no dogs due to 'a number of incidents', but guide dogs are allowed in. Waited 5 minutes, the proprietor who was stacking cards in the greeting card racks came out. I said that I needed to send an urgent letter. She would not let me in, but said I could tie my dog to the handle outside. I said it was a high value dog, rare breed did not want to chance it in getting it stolen. She wpuld not help. I thought she could have taken my letter, given her the money for posting, problem solved. Pathetic, I wish that Post Office every success, selling their cards and wrapping paper. I will take my business elsewhere, and I will not be sending my staff to send parcels from there in the future. In regards to 'a number of incidents' I was wondering if they have had a number of bad experiences with non-guide dogs. I mean, my dog is only 4 months old and she never said or showed any intention of holding up and robbing the Post Office. I would be interested to know if there is a dominant breed that has caused an unfortunate 'number of incidents'. Like to see some E-fit photos. Talking of animals, I and others that I will tell of this debacle, will get my cards from Moonpig.com. Anyway, I went to the Post Office at the top of Heaton Moor Road by the Avanti restaurant and Charcuterie butcher. Took dog in posted letter, done and dusted. I wish you all the best.
