Ramsbottom post office is handy because it is also located within the local Co-Op. This means that you can pick up a few groceries while you are there.
You can obviously post letter, parcels, pay bills, exchange money, buy stamps and do all the usual post office tasks. They also sell a limited range of stationery products. They also have a photo booth, which was handy for getting my driving license completed.
The service is good, in that they often have three windows open, so the queue moves along nicely. Unusually they also have packages of used Playstation and PSP games bundled up, being sold for around £10 to £15, which is quite handy.
Parking is great, as you can park on the main Co-op car park. I don't think there is any danger in losing this office, but I still make sure I use post offices generally whenever I can, so that they don't get closed down. They offer a vital service for the community. read more
