This is a tiny little shop that still has a post office for the locals convenience. Open normal post office times and the staff here are friendly. Convenient as the shop is attached so you can get other items whilst you are their. read more

Absolutely fantastic service all the time from this family run post office…read more Parking is generally okay, and has good safe crossings and a ramp for the elderly and disabled. Very thoughtful and professional. A credit to the people of Horwich!!
An excellent Post Office -- I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending it. Due to work I've…read morehad to drop off several pre-paid Special Delivery packages at various Post Offices around Bolton and I can honestly say that the staff here are the friendliest and most welcoming of any I've been to. It's also one of the easiest for parking -- if you can't park on the little lay-by by the Post Office itself, turn quick right before the Beehive roundabout and you'll be able to find somewhere that doesn't annoy the neighbours. In short, the owners do a great job here and deserve our support.

The couple who run it are wonderfully friendly and have made themselves an integral part of the local community. Opening times are posted clearly on the outside of the main window. Unfortunately, I have forgotten what they are! The only real problem here is that it is situated right on a traffic-light operated crossroads, with very little chance of safe parking anywhere close. Personally, I walk there, but some do park in the public carpark about 30 metres down Marsh House Lane.

Wigan Post Office is now located inside WHSmith on Standishgate in the town centre, now I usually…read morehate Post Offices which are located inside WHSmith stores which are becoming more and more common now, but this one was a rare example of it done reasonably well. The staff seemed friendly and happy to help, possibly down to how quiet it was due to the UK lockdown, but I still had to return something so visited here. The self-service machines are quick and easy to use, although the prospective screens between them could have been managed better, it gives very little room to balance parcels and then actually use the machine, adding more space between the two machines would have been a better idea if they are trying to become more COVID secure. I would have thought that given WHSmith is open until 5:30 on Saturday's, it would give a chance for the Post Office to open later but it doesn't... I find closing at 12:30 pm to be far too early. They are also closed on a Sunday, but this is pretty common. The overall area was spacious, clean and rather nice for a Post Office inside a WHSmith, but still it could be better. 3*

The place is a dump - i don't…read moreknow when it gets cleans as it always smells and the service is so slow its slower than snail. It doesn't seem to matter when you go in here - whether its pension day or a quiet day you could still be queueing up forever and they just don't seem to be bothered. Mind you, you can't blame them as their working conditions are dismall. It is such a shame as this would definately be a post office that would be shut down and we dont want our post offices closing - save the post offices!! A bonus is that you can get all your big things sorted here like your car tax and passport and they also offer the check and send service here. You can also get your foriegn currency here although it would be an idea to know yourself what you need for what country just in case. I suppose its okay and they are doing their best - it just doesn't seem to relate to what the post offices service used to be about.

This is the central post office in Breightmet and is located on the main road where the shops are…read more It's easily accessible by foot, car and bus however being on a main road there is no parking. The post office itself is modestly sized and stocks greetings cards, chocolate, stationary and scratchcards as well as offering all the usual post office services. Also noteworthy is the fact that they have a cash machine which doesn't charge you installed inside, this is a rarity in Breightmet as my nearest machine charges £1.75 per withdrawal. However, the machine is crammed in at the back and right next to a service counter so you may have to push your way through the queue for the counters. The staff are friendly and expedient and offer good customer service.

So if its only a couple of stamps you are after and the post office is full, you can buy them in the shop. It has all the usual services and is also able to issue road tax and fast track passport applications. The staff know their regulars and always have time for a word or two. They serve efficiently but could do with another window open at busy times. There are, at most, 2 people serving and sometimes one of them is working in the back.

I see no reason to visit here unless you live here. There's nothing to see. At this post office you will of course find all the usual services, fairly friendly staff, and a decent selection of greeting cards for sale. They also have a small selection of gifts, and I especially like the ones displayed in the window as they are more unusual.

They have a good amount of counters, and also had a good amount of staff working meaning the queue seemed to go down pretty quickly, so the wait wasn't too bad. They didn't have any automated self-service postal machines, I would have liked to see them here as most Post Offices, even those within WHSmith locations do seem to have them. It's a shame to see Altrincham Post Office shut on Sunday's, even though the store it is located in does remain open (WHSmith), so that makes little sense in my opinion. 3* - Decent Post Office, facilities are minimal due to WHSmith location, but quick service and pretty good for a small town.

I used the equipment without knowing this because there was no sign to say it was out of order. the machine took my money, and when I went to explain this to the staff, they started huffing and puffing and acting like it was my fault. One of ladies (staff) started shouting at me and making threatening comments. Absolutely horrified that people are allowed to work in yhe service industry. Disgusted that no action will be taken against the individual who treated us with such rudeness and disrespect.
Located on the busy Stockport Road, this post office looks tired and old. There are some tattered…read moreflags hanging on rusty flagpoles outside, and the sign is faded. Inside things are perfectly clean and orderly, in fact it betrays the impression its exterior gave me. I absolutely love it when post offices combine being a post office with selling odd little items too, some of which have nothing to do with post or stationary. Stockport Road Post Office is a prime example for this. Here, not only can you post a parcel, but you can also buy confectionary, insoles for your shoes, cigarettes behind the counter and Daz washing powder. Excellent. The staff are pleasant and well-presented and the queue moves quickly so that despite the lack of those self-service machines which I love so much, I'm sending my parcel within just a few minutes of walking in.

I went in there to post a package to Germany. For some reason the man behind the counter found this fact hilarious and proceeded to talk to his colleague in his native language for a good couple of minutes whilst gesturing at me. The staff seemed more focussed on selling the disco balls and ghastly home decorations and assorted electrical goods available in their 'shop' which took over half the post office than they did in serving customers. Goodbye and good riddance lousy old post office. Hello and welcome to new posh post office complete with electronic 'cashier number three pleeeease' system, friendly and efficient staff and a small shop which sells useful things such as jiffy bags and sellotape. Just how a post office should be. Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't make a special trip to this post office if it wasn't just at the end of my road, but it is soooo much better than the old post office.
The Trafford Centre Post Office is located on the Ground Floor of the mall, close to John Lewis,…read moreinside Newspoint. The services offered are typical of a normal Post Office, the staff seem friendly enough but service is slow, and they do tend to be a little understaffed. As it is only a small Post Office kiosk, there aren't any self-service kiosks. Opening hours are pretty good and include Sundays. REMEMBER: You need to pay for packaging/envelopes etc at the main NewsPoint till, this is a little annoying as it means having to queue at two different check stands in a small store when most Post Office locations combine the two. 3* - A basic Post Office, but in a good location, which is very useful if you need to post/return something or use other Post Office services while shopping at The Trafford Centre, the staff are also friendly.

It's a very small Post Office, and it often gets very busy: I've had to queue from outside the shop on more than one occasion. But the staff are friendly and helpful and have always seemed to have dealt with the long queues efficiently. All in all, therefore, no complaints.
