Unforunalty in the post office shake up this closed as a post office but still ramins open as a shop. Parking is a bit of an issue as, its not fair from the main road, and is on a corner but you can park opposite or dwon a nearby street.

This is a hit&miss Post Office. I've used it many dozens of times and sometimes I came away feeling…read morequite pleased that I'd been served well, other times I vowed never to return (until the following day at least!). It's inside a large newsagents so if you've got kids with you be prepared for lots of 'I want, I want' as it's full of sweets and toys. There are often large queues, which aren't helped by the fact that the staff seem to spend quite a lot of time talking to each other rather than serving. Not always, but enough times that it becomes an annoyance for regular users. Bizarrely, the nearest Post Box is a few hundred yards down the road, so either hand letters in over the counter or take a bit of a walk after you've bought your stamps! If you're an Ebayer in the area, I'd much sooner recommend taking a trip out to Scawby where the service is absolutely excellent and can't be faulted in any way.

One of the post office counter staff is particularly rude and offensive, my wife has experienced…read morethis on several occasions but yesterday it was so offensive I will be writing a formal letter of complaint. I hasten to add that this is only one person but just hope you are not unlucky enough for her to be free when it is your turn to be served !

The usual post office services are there including travel money and phone top ups. Beyond the post office services there is a little shop selling cigs, sweets and greetings cards. Most staionery things can be bought here also. If you want stamps and dont want to wait in the main Q you can buy stamps from the little shop bit. Parking is on the main shopping street or side roads so can be limited.

East Common Post Office & KeyStore is located on Barwic Parade opposite Barwic Parade School, on…read morePetre Avenue. The Post Office and KeyStore convenience store and newsagents has recently changed hands, much to applause of the local community. The new owners are family run and are friendly and polite. The store is in the middle of updating. The new owner ran Better Butties on Denison road that had a great reputation for quality take-away hot and cold snacks and sandwiches. Within the Post Office & KeyStore there are two Post Office counters; a fair sized general store, with freezer cabinets and fridges for fresh food. Hot pies and pasties are sold at lunchtime with the introduction of Hot sandwiches and salads in the future.

Post office staff are quick to presume what size postage you need rather then checking as they…read moreshould. After i asked them to check it didn't fit into the large letter size (which it did) i was met with rudeness and hostility by the staff member. Also with proof of postage, the receipt tends to be printed with the postcode and house number, at this branch they hand write these on, which makes them next to useless! A practice i am yet to see at any other branch! I would recommend any other branch over this one!
