    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. CASHIER NUMBER FOUR PLEASE

    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.
