Bedford Street Post Office sells all the equipment you need for sending letters and posting parcels…read more- envelopes - brown white and varying sizes - bubble wrap, sellotape, brown papers etc. Many a time I have perched a parcel on the narrow counter to wrap it up and post on the hoof in here. It provides the usual Post Office service but being small is best avoided at lunch time when the queue builds up. The shop part has the usual newagents supplies of papers, drinks, sweets, sandwiches and some funny little knick knack gifts like name pens, mugs and fridge magnets for occasions that demand a token gift.

One lady in particular - i went in to purchase an envelope of a particular size, they told me they didnt have any left, so i bought an envelope which was one size bigger and then spotted the envelope that i actually wanted right behind the counter - she just didnt bother looking for it.... the post office itself is dimly lit, usually untidy and filthy and generally a horrible place to be in.

This post office is the main post office in the local area and services a large catchment area. The…read morepost office is often busy as it offers the full range of post office facilities for example the facility to tax you vehicle or purchase travel insurance. The staff are very friendly and helpful and often go out of there way to assist. The post office is situated on the main street and is open monday to friday 9-5 and saturday mornings. The post office also offers a range of stationary, confectionery and accessories which are reasonably priced. Would recommend to avoid on mondays as this is the busiest day as benefits become available for collection.

This is my nearest Post Office located as it is within a newsagents shop and a busy shop at that…read moreso, at times, it can be quite congested within the shop with post office customer's queue getting in the way of people trying to select their paper(s) but in the end it all works out. Easy parking near the door (supermarket carpark shared). With the threat of more sub offices to close, I would not like this one to go, it's much too convenient and I have used it for years so come on everybody support these local buinesses. I have always got good, friendly and efficient service and advice here.

This is a really busy post office.

The best thing about this place is that it has long opening hours and is the only post office I'm aware of that's open on Sunday. Open on Sunday! Very convenient.

The Post office in Kennedy Centre has moved towards the front of the centre in recent months and…read morenow shares its unit with a small convenience store. Sadly for me the unit is just too small and cramped and you are forced to queue between the tubes of Pringles and coffee machine on a busy day. However the staff are excellent and the queues always seem to filter down very quickly. I use this branch to drop off packages mainly but they also stock passport and drivers licence forms and process car tax - 3 items usually only found in larger branches. Parking is excellent at the centre and it's got great public transport links too. Very well located.

Not my first choice of Post Office, but since I was a) visiting my brother in Dromore, and b)…read moreneeded to urgently post a card to my friend in Australia (I have a funny feeling it'll take more than a week to get there...darn), it was the handiest one to me at this particular time. The Post Office in Dromore really bears quite a good resemblance to the town centre itself - it's a bit dingy and faded, as well as being pokey and minimal, bless it. Apart from the usual Post Office services, the only other thing in the place were a few greetings cards, and even they looked like they'd seen better days. The girl who served me was certainly much more pleasant than her surroundings, and kudos to her, she was very polite and patient with me. The fact that my little parcel only came to £1.82 added to my contentment, so it really wasn't all that bad at all. A wee facelift wouldn't go amiss mind you...

Cherryvalley Post Office could well be a location for an episode of Post Man Pat as it is in fact…read morethe quaint and unusual combo of Post Office and Wool Shop. Yes, really. The Post Office counter is quite small but efficient nonetheless. It is normally staffed by a man and a lady and the lady in particular is refreshingly helpful and friendly and will sort you out with whatever stamps/cash/official forms you need. Top marks to her. The only thing I don't really like are the handwritten signs which bossily tell you things like 'ALL STATIONERY MUST BE PAID FOR AT THE WOOL SHOP COUNTER' and 'PLEASE DO NOT REMOVE THE PENS'. Very shouty but somehow they add to the whole 1950s vibe going on. So the next time you feel the urge to post a parcel and get started on knitting a scarf, you know where to go.

It has recently opened as a bakery / cafe where all the produce is baked on the premises and is of an amazingly high quality.This makes it a good place to enjoy a refreshing cuppa while catching up with the local goings on and somewhere to write the card which you have purchased and then post it there and then. The staff are very friendly and even think about those four legged friends as there is always a bowl of fresh drinking water outside the premises for them to quench their thirst after that walk along the shore.The outside is quite picturesque with lots of colourful hanging baskets. It is very much a village Post Office with all that this conjures up.

I absolutely love Millisle post office, now some people may think that it is a little bit strange…read morethat I harbour such feelings towards a post office but this post office is special, it is the one for me. The reason it is my favourite of all post offices is that it is chilled, relaxed and has a really friendly atmosphere. For instance I was in the other day I had two letters to post, I was in there for less than 5 minutes and was offered a Hob Nob, now this doesn't happen everywhere I go. The service is exceptional and the post office is always well stocked and although small has everything you could possibly need. The post office also doubles as a cash machine for many bank and this is pretty handy in a village that doesn't possess a free cash machine, I think they want to keep you here, if you have no money there is no way out. To be honest I would stay just for Lovely little Millisle Post Office.

As much as I intensely dislike (my grannie always told me to never say hate) going to pick up a…read moreparcel because I was out, these guys are usually pretty nice and sort me out quickly. I've been a fair few times, the latest being this morning, when I went to fetch my graduation photos. My two pet intense dislikes (not hates, of course) of the Royal Mail Delivery Office are: a) The fact that it is so blinkin' difficult to find. I once ended up in the actual sorting office, when some employee saw me looking exceedingly lost and pointed me in the right direction. The next time I went, I still couldn't find the office first time round. For those of you who will undoubtedly suffer the same fate, when you come to the metal gate, turn right down the path. Don't go through those gates, whatever you do! b) There is nowhere to park, except a miserable couple of spaces just outside those darned gates. Both sides of Prince Regent Road are double yellows, so you have to go with someone and they then have to wait on you. Very frustrating. When you have parked the car and found your way in, it's all pretty straightforward. One of the guys this afternoon was in great form, telling me he'd checked out my photos, and they were awful, and haha, he was only joking. Amusing to say the least. Oh, and even though it may say to bring I.D. with you, I've never been checked. Just a wee hint. If you're (un)lucky enough to have to pop over to the Belfast East Delivery Office (why the heck didn't they keep it on the Albertbridge Road), at least you'll be well prepared. You are most welcome.

Since more and more of us buy on-line for bigger stuff that we used to carry home on the bus. So now, post men drive round to our doors when we aren't there, because we work at the same time that they work - the house is empty! So can we resolve this silly practise? - An idea. Someone design a 'big red box', securely fitted to your wall 'round the back' or something. If you are expecting a delivery then leave the box open before you go to work. I nice friendly notice on your front door can direct the nice delivery man to this 'big red box'. All he has to do is to place the parcel in the box and close the SELF-LOCKING' lid. So if the lid is closed when you come home you have mail! - or the neighbour's cat. Of course, two deliveries in one day qualifies you for a trip to Prince Regent on the next Saturday - space out your purchases a bit. A similar problem for terraced houses and apartments could be addressed by a sort of 'big red cat flap' in the door. So if the cat flap is swinging when you come home, then you've got mail - or the neighbour's cat again. If we don't do something, we will be queued out to the Castlereagh Road soon. PS: The guys who work in the office are second to none - but worked off their feet. Happy Christmas to all in the queue.
