This is a great post office for me as my local one has been done away with and the only other one…read moreis really hard to get parked at. The staff are nice and friendly, and it is not a cramped place - large room with all the expected parcel items like envelopes, packing tape, padding etc. The card range is quite good too. There have never been big queues which is a nice change from other post offices I have frequented. You can park outside or further along the road as it is not 'yellow lined' or parking metered. There is a chemist next door if you need to pick anything up which is handy.

I love this Post Office it has to be one of the friendliest places around, in fact sometimes in…read morepassing, I feel like going to buy some stamps, just to have a blether with the staff. They always seem to be having a great time and I just don't know how they ever get any work done! They do all the obvious Post Office services: stamps, letters, parcels, giros, passports etc, plus they have a lovely little gift shop with genuinely nice bits of jewellery, ornaments, fancy bags etc, plus all the usual cards and wrapping paper. The only bad thing is that because it is a small shop, and it has a lot of stock, sometimes the queue for tha actual post office counter can make it a bit crowded and sweaty. However, that does not detract from a really lovely community type of place.

I'm just updating this review to reflect the fact that the cafe bit has long since left the…read morebuilding! Instead, the area to the left of the ramp now has lots of interesting stationery and other knick-knacks - notebooks, wrapping papers, local interest books, games and general 'stuff'. It's a good place to browse for that little stocking-filler present for somebody. The other side still carries a good selection of cards. Things have gotten busier now, and there's often a longer queue for the post office than there used to be. They do have a self-service machine, but I've always found it unreliable and seldom trust it to complete a transaction without something going wrong. It's worth keeping an eye on the shop counter while you're queuing for the post office, as they will often call you over if they're not too busy.

Dont go at peak times though, you wont get out the door any time soon as the queues are long and knowing your luck the person in front is posting numerous parcels around the world or has not filled in a form correctly for their car tax. It is located inside RS Mccoll and has all the parcel items you need - envelopes, padded envelopes of various sizes, packing tape etc. The shop has a card section, and as expected sweets and magazines, lottery etc.

There are three sets of service desks: Self-service, business, travel and everything else. I forget how they labelled this one but it seemed to be for just regular non-business customers. There was a long queue when I arrived but they cleared it pretty quickly, I don't think I waited as much as five minutes to post my parcel. The staff member helping me was friendly and helpful enough although not very on the ball. He did try to sell me a credit card which I've not seen before but maybe this is a new thing to try to get the Post Office to make more money. They also have some stationary and bits and pieces on sale, things like jiffy bags and bubble wrap and they're advertising a deak at the moment where you can get cheap travel insurance when you get your travel money with them. It's handy enough if you're in the city centre but it's a little but chaotic and I suspect at peak times those queues get really long.

There are less Post Offices around these days, and for me it's a toss-up whether this one or the…read moreHillhead one near Oran Mor is closest to walk to. Most often I end up at the Hillhead one as I usually have other stuff to get in Byres Road, but I secretly prefer the Partick one, as it's still a dedicated post office and not a counter stuck at the back of a shop full of a maze of shelving stuffed with greetings cards and other crap that you wouldn't even normally bother to look at if you weren't visiting the post office bit. The Partick one is mercifully free of third-party product, it has plenty of space for the inevitable queue to snake back and forth, and although frequently busy, it's usually well staffed enough that things move along moderately rapidly. I've also had occasion to come and collect parcels here when I've missed the delivery (or the postman couldn't be bothered to attempt the delivery), although I'm not quite sure how that works as usually you have to go to the main sorting depot in Clarence Drive. The only downside is that the repetitive musical jingle from the Postman Pat ride will drive you insane while you wait. I don't know how the staff put up with it, but I guess the brain must tune it out after a while. I'm always tempted to unplug the cursed thing when I'm in there; or even worse resort to some major remodelling of Pat's van with a large blunt instrument.

Luckily any parcel deliveries I miss go to the Thornwood Post Office, which is just further along…read moreDumbarton Road. This is good because Partick Post Office always has a long queue and the service is so. painfully. slow. Perhaps this may be attributed to the overwhelming amount of coffin-dodgers that come here for all their postal needs? Slow motion with me... I've made the mistake a few times of coming to this location, only to stand and wait for.ev.er. Despite the convenient location, the service is massively slow. Next!

Up until a few months ago, I'd have classes this as the least friendly or efficient post office in…read moreGlasgow. The folks that worked here were unpleasant and unhelpful. Now though, the post office is franchised to the Spar that it co-locates with. Result being, it's the Spar staff who now man the post office counter. Which is great. They know what they're doing and they're just plain nice whilst they're doing it! Not much else to say really, it sells stamps, takes in packages and does most of the range of post office services. No bureau de change though.

I would disagree with the previous reviewer - it's sad, but compared to other post offices I've…read morevisited (and i visit quite a few in my dealings with ebay!) it is quite decent. Small queues, and I've only ever received friendly and efficient treatment from the employees here. Still rubbish of course, in the grand scheme of public services, but we've come to expect that from the Post Office now, and this one at least has a spark of convenience in it.

As for the post office itself? Well, it gets three stars because of its friendly staff. In actual fact it's rather irritatingly shoehorned into a small RS McColl's meaning it's a complete nightmare to queue in. For that reason, you should really do your best to visit at less popular times. And preferably in the school holidays.
