Shudehill Post Office is in a great location if you're heading into Manchester city centre via…read moreRochdale Road and/or using Shudehill Interchange, being located next to Cafe North on Shudehill. It is housed as part of a Manchester Souvenirs and News store. When the Post Office first opened, I noticed a lot of teething issues, such as being closed during opening hours or the staff being poorly trained to deal with basic services such as posting letters, however, since then, they've improved. With the main Crown Post Office closing on Spring Gardens, this store has done a good job in preparing their staff for the closure with extra support and training, yet I do feel there is more to do - there is regularly only one staff member working the Post Office, even at busy times. I understand being just a counter as part of a larger newsagents, it is difficult to find the space, but it would be great if they could reduce the waiting times, or perhaps even install the self-service machines, similar to what we see at other Post Office locations. They are open until 18:00 with the last collection for mail during the week at around 17:15 - this is pretty standard for a Post Office, however there are many other nearby Post Offices open later with Deansgate closing at 21:30 and Arndale closing at 23:00 during the week. I'm not a big fan of the newsagents which generally sell overpriced drinks and cheap tat/souvenirs, however, the staff are generally friendly and the location is especially handy for me as I don't need to carry larger parcels into and around town after getting off the bus at Shudehill. 3*

Burnley Post Office is at the back of the WHSmith store at Charterwalk in Burnley town centre, it…read moreis OK, although I do tend to prefer standalone Post Office locations, I do understand why they are trying to push and grow their network of stores which piggy-back of a store, mainly WHSmith. There weren't any automated machines, it was manned counters only, luckily the queues did seem to move pretty quickly with a good amount of staff members working, there wasn't too much space between the desks though, so a slight lack of privacy. The full counter operation meant I had to push my mail down a slot, I thought these had been phased out as I find them a little annoying compared to passing them over a high counter or mini parcel lift. Opening hours are pretty standard, they were advertising Sunday opening in the store however the hours advertised online were considerably difference, so that does need to be clarified. 3* - Average Post Office, nothing too special, would have been nicer to see a greater deal of technology or even a Post Box in the store, the selection of posting materials was good. The main priority would be fixing the opening hours as the difference between the in-store and online advertised hours seems to effect every day of the week!

I went in there to post a package to Germany. For some reason the man behind the counter found this fact hilarious and proceeded to talk to his colleague in his native language for a good couple of minutes whilst gesturing at me. The staff seemed more focussed on selling the disco balls and ghastly home decorations and assorted electrical goods available in their 'shop' which took over half the post office than they did in serving customers. Goodbye and good riddance lousy old post office. Hello and welcome to new posh post office complete with electronic 'cashier number three pleeeease' system, friendly and efficient staff and a small shop which sells useful things such as jiffy bags and sellotape. Just how a post office should be. Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't make a special trip to this post office if it wasn't just at the end of my road, but it is soooo much better than the old post office.
