CASHIER NUMBER FOUR PLEASE…read more Nice to see the Post Office is still here after the cuts that were suffered. My usual small office did disappear which meant a longer trip into town. What can you say about the service? Well how about up and down. There are those days when the queue is as far as the door and the odd days I t take the long winding trip through the empty barriers to the cashier. Do I mind that trip,? NO I just feel like jumping in the air and clicking my heels. Ohhhh how I hate it on the days everyone in the queue seems to be holding a form for car tax or thats what I have always thought it was. They get to the counter and then proceed to fill it in. Worst when it's staff lunch hour and cashiers go down to two. The Post Office used to sell lotsof bits and bobs, that seems to have gone and we are down to just the usual post items. It did give you something to look at or grab as you trundled along the queue. But at the end of the day, it's our good old Post Office. always been there and hopefully always will be. Not the most elegant one, not the quickest, It's friendly and does the job. Stands there like a rock of which I imaginee it is to alot of people. So now ,, I was actually going to give it Four stars but going to go back up the page and give it Five. I convinced myself just how much I like it, expect it to be there, and what it does for me. Would you like a Top Up, Insurance, A New Telephone Provider.? NO... OK ,, Thank you.

Crown Post Offices are a dying breed now - it seems almost every Post Office is now becoming a…read moresmall kiosk in a newsagents or similar style store, this is one of the few good remaining Post Offices remaining. This is a large branch, on Spring Gardens which is just off Market Street. It has a ticketed queuing approach, where you get a ticket and wait for them to call your number, I much prefer this to the standard queuing as it means you can sit down, relax without squabbling over your place in the queue. There is also a good number of self-service postage machines (These are great but not ideal as they don't include all services such as if the postage is pre-paid). The staff here are pretty friendly and service is quick enough, this is a huge benefit over the smaller Post Offices around the city centre located in Manchester Souvenirs and News stores, as it can be hit and miss whether you get served quickly or not - the staff always seem to take more care at this location too. It can be cheaper to pre-pay your postage online depending on the service being used. I don't understand the logic behind this, especially if you have to visit a Post Office anyway to post the parcel and/or generate proof of posting. 4* - A very good Post Office location, yet working on transparency between pricing through all payment methods and adding services to the self-service postage machines to make it quicker, and confusion-free would be a huge improvement again.

Hell hath no fury like central Manchester in the office lunch hour. I despair, I really do. And…read moreoften I found myself here having to post things off while I was working at Spinningfields, so once I'd jostled through the crowds the last thing I wanted was apocalyptic queues whilst standing like a lemon with my parcel. Thankfully, this is a particularly large post office. It sells what you'd expect - envelopes, stationery, stamps, the works, but with a great many kiosks it means you're never waiting a ludicrously long time to get rid of your items. The staff are helpful too, I was talked through the ins and outs of how many stamps I should put on a card to enable it to reach Fuerteventura, for instance. Its location just next to the Tesco Metro makes it a very handy stopping off point if you happen to be in town. I worked this out when I had to head here today to post off a box and a letter, both recorded delivery. I'm around a mile from a Post Office, no matter what direction I walk in. The shop opposite my apartment building closed down a long time ago, and now I'm at the mercy of Mocha Parade (gimme me flamin' giro), Soviet, sorry, Salford Precinct (Gorky Park) and this. This is my default. I'd like to take a moment to announce that I'm a dumbass as well. Ticket systems? Lost on me. I become like a doddering old grandmother that's been handed an iPod for the first time. Don't worry, this happens at cheese counters and in hospital queues too. Small ballots of paper bewilder me. Anyway, I realised that I shouldn't have sauntered past the friendly-looking bloke stood next to the ominous looking machine. And the lady who handled my parcels was super friendly. It's quick and easy. Worth a visit if you're parcel-sending this Christmas. Although by now you're probably too late... sorry, there was no need for that. I reckon you are though. Okay, I promise, I'll stop now.

This store's a funny one to start off with, despite having a giant sign outside saying Manchester…read moreSouvenirs & News and Post Office, it appears to be a small Post Office from the Manchester Souvenirs & News branding, from this store you can expect everything you'd regularly expect from a Post Office which is located inside a newsagents with it being one of the many Manchester Souvenirs & News locations (and even more Post Offices) around the city. Located in Exchange Square, it is located in the former basement of WHSmith, with the lifts removed and upper levels now being home to JD Sport, this means that the only way to enter the store, despite being classed as "Manchester Arndale", is the one and only entrance, just outside the mall in Exchange Square, located next to Caffe Nero. The store is much larger than other locations such as Deansgate and nicer and more modern than the Shudehill branch, which opened around about the same time as this one. I really like the decor around the top of the store, showing Corrination Street and just typical, modern and cool Manchester decor, as that is the theme of the store after all. The newsagents part of the business had a good selection of drinks, albeit at inflated prices costing around £1.49 for an iced tea which are often available to buy for around £1 each (or at least 2 for £2) at other retailers nearby including the Co-op and Superdrug to name just a few. The service here was a little slow and confusing, with two different parts of the till, they were obviously understaffed and struggling to serve two tills, with one man working and moving between the two, and even then it appeared that he had a young child standing behind him (family run business), I personally dislike being served in stores by young children and find it to be messy and complicated. They had one post office counter which was typical of a store this size, of course it isn't a regular Post Office, who have a large branch in Spring Gardens just a few minutes away, or a smaller main branch (yet still bigger than this one) at the Town Hall, as well as many stores similar to this around the city. Understaffed store with slightly poor service and inflated prices are the big negatives, but overall being in the city centre, the location is good and they do offer basic/good services for drinks (despite the inflated prices), souvenirs and Post Office, in a really nice decorated store so I do feel it deserves a three-star rating, and it is in quite a handy location being the only store of its' kind in Exchange Square.
