The post office on Carr Street is just awful. There's something that feels very prison like here…read more It's grey, dingy, cramped, peopled by disinterested staff and terribly understocked with most forms. Both customers and staff lack anything approaching good humour (which is no surprise from the poor customers I can't raise a smile in there). The glass is unclean and the staff scruffy. Sorry to sound so negative, but I've actually walked out of my way to go to Tower Ramparts just to avoid it depressing me. I really wouldn't advise a visit - unless every post office in Suffolk were closed.

This Post Office is located within the Tower Ramparts shopping centre in the centre of Ipswich…read moreTown, on the upper floor. It has a small cashier desk for buying the products within the shop which looks small but is deceptive, there are a lot of items in a fairly small place. There is a seating area for anyone waiting for a Friend or in need of a rest with a ledge to write out your postal orders etc although there do seem to be some regular homeless people who congregate here. Then round the corner there are approx 10 tills with an automated voice letting you know which ones are free, all the staff are friendly and willing to help in any way they can. The staff seem to be very pushy with the post office credit card and even when you tell them you are not interested they give you paperwork and continue to try and sell it to you. They have a fast system so even if there is a big queue you will be served fast.

very helpful staff in this small but busy post office, they know their stuff!read more
