This is my local post office, and offers an above-average service by making a couple of small additions to the basic post office set up. The addition of a corner-shop style store in the front means you can pick up bits and pieces while doing your post, and the rather large number of desks for the small queuing area means you nearly always get seen immediately. In the end, it is just a post office, but it does what it needs to better than others.
The corner-shop at the front of the post office is such a great idea that I'm surprised others haven't nicked this simple idea. All of the post office items are available to buy, as well as the typical corner shop bits and pieces, which is useful if I'm in a bit of a time crunch. That, combined with the great service here, makes this a great place to get your posting needs filled.
When you do get through the corner shop, the post office area is much bigger than it needs to be. There are 4-5 desks crammed into the small space, meaning there is nearly always a free desk: a great service. The turnover also seems to be quite good: I've never waited more than about 30 seconds.
In the end, the post office is a must-visit place: everyone has to post letters every now and again. However, this post office does seem to try a bit harder than most of the rest: the effort doesn't go unnoticed. read more
