When I first started working in Summertown all those years ago there were 2 post offices and all you had to do to send a letter was to remember which post office had early closing on a Tuesday and which on a Monday. Now there are NO post offices for miles (I guess Wolvercote must be the nearest). Mail boxes Etc does a sterling job as a stand-in post office. You can post letters and parcels, get your computer printer cartridges refilled, photocopy things and generally do the things you need to do to keep a small office or home-based business going.
If you do need a post office because you need a passport or a car tax disc then I recommend a trip to Yarnton. The garage there has a Post Office with hardly any queues and free parking, plus the number 20 bus goes close to it every half an hour from the Woodstock Road. read more
