Also sells envelopes, padded envelopes, padded tubes and boxes. Basic selection of cards, and biscuits and jewellry. You can pick up bus timetables and train timetables here too.

The shop is quite small and it does get very busy, sometimes the queues are out of the door, particularly on a dinner time, so I find it is best to avoid going then. The staff are very efficient and I find it great that I can get cash out over the counter here aswell, so I can do loads of jobs at once instead of trailing left, right and centre all over town. The shop also sells a good range of stationary and it can be very well priced. They also do a range of novelty gift items, although it is quite small, there are often some good bargains.

From paying bills to posting letters and more, all of this can be done here. There is also a stationary and gift shop attached to the post office, with everything at affordable prices. The one downside to this post office is its size and it's popularity. This unfortunately leads to lengthy queues out the door and onto the high street. However the queues do move quite quickly.

The actual Post Office counter service is outstanding as the staff are incredibly helpful and very keen to help you out and offer advice, as I found when I had to order a new passport recently.

The Whitesands post office became unavailable several months ago when the hosting Spar shop closed…read more The nearest alternative to the best of my knowledge is in St Michaels Street (~1/4 mile). The staff there are very helpful, but it is way too small in my opinion to serve as a satisfactory replacement PO. And it is not in the town centre, where it ought to be.

Normally I would give this place a higher rating however I sent an expensive item from here a few months back and it never made it out of the Post Office!!!!!!!! Not making any accusations but it has left a bad taste in the mouth.
