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.

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 enjoyed visiting this marvellous old post office in the hills of Upper Nithsdale (about 30 miles…read morefrom Ayr and Dumfries); I also hope that it will continue to survive with so many small branches of the PO closing down.

The oldest post office in the WORLD. This little and otherwise unremarkable post office has been in…read moreoperation since 1712 meaning that in another 4 years it'll be celebrating it's tri-centenary! Let's just hope it lasts another 4 years. It's a rather amazing and odd fact though given how unremarkable this small farming town is with links to Burns country it's quite a novel thought to imagine that you could use the self same post office that Burns may have used to send off some little ditty to one of his lovers. Of course much has changed in the intervening 300 odd years and through the window you can see sparkly twinkly lights that hint that this post office is one of the ones which has successfully diversified with an eye to survival, and after all this time you can hardly blame them.

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!

It isn't characterised by great customer service. It's somewhere between the wee sort of Post Office you get stuck onto a tobacconist up the back and an actual wee shop. I use it often enough through paranoia that my letters dont get where they're going with the new size/weight specification for letters, otherwise I doubt I would ever bother going.

You might be able to park in the street nearby and there is a disabled bay directly outside.

If I was to become a famous singer and do a…read morecover version of this song I would change the lyrics to "what a difference good customer service made." Good customer service can put a spring in the step of an otherwise drab day. Nothing cheers you up like being faced with a complete stranger who goes over and above their job requirements to be kind and helpful, simply because they want to make your day that bit easier. I was on the receiving end of such service last week, when I visited the post office on St Vincent Street to send a hideously stressful parcel of very important documents halfway across the world by parcel force priority. I was served by a man called Colin who was helpful and knowledgeable way beyond the call of duty, even though it was near closing time on a Friday. He made the situation much less stressful as a result. So Colin, I wish to thank you for taking pride in your job. Not being able to post my parcel, or doing it incorrectly, would have resulted in disastrous consequences. You can go to bed at night knowing you really have made a difference.
