The Trading Post in Stornoway is just on the outskirts of the town right beside a popular local butchers. Inside the shop head right to the back and you reach the Post Office tellers. There are 3 tellers and most of the time 2 of these are open. there's a nice big, recently refurbished counter and the staff are always really helpful and friendly, much more so than the main post office in town. They can process items for posting, pensions, bill payments and electricity cards. There's quite often a little queue for the post office but it moves fast as the staff always jump in to ensure people aren't waiting too long. There's also a large selection of packaging materials available for purchase from boxes to mailing envelopes, notelets to tape. These are all paid for at the main shop counter not at the post office counter. Local postcards are also available. The shop area sells a range of goods including handmade sandwiches, stag bakeries products, a small selection of household items like fairy liquid and cans of soup, magazines, soft drinks, alcohol, sweets & crisps, cirgarettes and there's a lottery machine too. Shop staff are also very friendly and helpful and a trip to the trading post is alway a pleasant experience. There's a large parking area outside but it can get quite busy as it services both the trading post and the butchers and it doesn't help when people don't park properly as there's no bay markings! But it's always easier to park here than anywhere near the main Post Office in town read more
