This is a great post office, has a lot of wee nick nacks there for sale. There is a good selection of drinks including coffee.

Partick Post Office

Partick Post Office

Partick, West End

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!

After amassing some postcards over the first approximately fourteen days of my heritage travel trip…read moreto Scotland in July 2019, I was looking for a place to buy stamps so I could mail them before departing a few days later. The Sandyford Post Office was located a couple of blocks from where I was staying, the Argyll Hotel, so I stopped by on a walk. Sure enough they had stamps, and at a good rate. Other services were available including shipping and mailing, but I was waiting until my last full day to mail them - so I just went with the stamps. They were pretty in purples and blues and were enough to get the cards to their destination.

I went there today to print 15 pgs,one sided black and white and they wanted to charge me 22 pounds…read morefor it. That's a scam! After I questioned the price the guy told me that was the rate for all of the post offices in the area. Ended up charging me 10 pounds after pressuring me to pay by saying that he had already printed the pgs and I needed to pay. Anyways I checked the receipt and it only says 10 pounds withdrawal, and no mentioning about the services I got. I called the central office (customer service complaint) and they will be conducting an investigation in this location. Left a review on google and owner left a rude comment putting the blame on me for not checking the prices on the printer which by no chance it was visible and honestly this is not the rating for printing anywhere (it's usually a couple of cents). I spent hours with people on the phone today and theres no way that they could have charged me 22 pounds for basic printing services. Be careful out there everyone, even in difficult times like this there are people trying to scam. By no chance I thought this would have happened at the local post office.

Surprised at the poor reviews this place has had, although these seem to be from a while ago so…read moremaybe they've improved it before I ever attended. I've posted two sets of Christmas presents from here recently and had a perfectly fine experience both times; I'd have perhaps described one staff member as brusque, but none have ever hit 'grumpy'. Queues were nice and short for two o'clock on a work day too. I'm not saying that I got a free latte and a song when I came in; it's a post office and they do post office things in a competent way, and then you go about your day.

I found this wee post office quite by chance, but I'm glad I did. It's a little bit out of the way,…read morebut handy if you're walking between George Square and Argyle Street (as I was). This is a typical combination post-office-cum-corner store deal, they sell cards, stationery, newspapers and small gifty things to distract you as you're waiting in the inevitable queue for the post office counters at the back. The staff seemed very cheery, even under the pressure of Christmas postings, and there was a good bit of banter going on between them, so it was difficult for anyone to get cross over the length of the queue. With all 5 counters on the go, things moved along pretty quickly anyway. Top tip - remember to go to the right when you enter as that's where the post office queue starts. It's difficult to see it behind the rack of cards and it is tempting to go down the left-hand side. But you'll be sorry if you do!
