Let me get my caveat in at the start: I have a real hatred of post offices, mainly due to years…read morespent queuing in a small town one full of sceaming babies and old men falling asleep in the queue. On this front, the Oxford post office is a relief. It's a bit more peaceful and there's more sense of urgency: the staff here seem to get it that people are there to get a chore done, not for a friendly chat. That said, they're still wonderfully polite and patient. Definitely not a job I would want. Things I like: - The building - nineteenth century arches, coat of arms, typical Oxford grandeur. - The post box outside - okay, so it's not the traditional red pillar, but it takes you back a century or two. - The Post Office currency exchange rate - one of the best you can get. - The stamp machine outside Things I don't like: - The queues - yes, most people go at lunchtime, so why not put more staff on the tills then? - The generality - same queue whether you want to post one envelope or twenty parcels; pick up a pension or become a millionaire in some obscure currency. Conclusion: A necessary evil that could be far worse.

Worst post office. Staff have no customer service skills, are extremely rude and the place is very…read morepoorly organised. After being there a while and there being no signs on the counter I asked if there quick drop counter was open or not, I got blanked by the staff member, totally, I asked a few times, I then asked if I was invisible, still not even eye contact. I went up to him and said, can you please not act like I am invisible to you and just answer me, he started having a go at me that he could not as was serving a customer. All I needed was a yes or no, he could find the time to have a go at me but not answer my question. Clearly no customer training and people are treated like they are not human beings.

The pharmacy does have some envelopes, boxes etc for your posting needs. The staff at the post office itself are helpful, especially regarding queries about sending items abroad (as I found myself!). It's an ideal alternative to the St Aldate's post office if you are on the North side of town, as it's usually far less busy.
