It's good to know there are still post offices where you can get a smile (at least sometimes) and where you can buy traditional stationary items at reasonable prices. Heck, even queuing isn't so bad when there's gossip to be had. read more

This Post Office is a good alternative to the large one opposite Tiger Tiger. Being in the city…read morecentre it does still have those horrid queues but mostly over a lunchtime period so if you are lucky (or clever) you'll manage to avoid them. The staff who work in there are friendly and helpful, although there is one chap who insists on asking every time whether or not I would like a Post Office credit card. Still, he does it with a cheeky smile on his face and so I can forgive him for trying - just. They don't have anything especially exciting but they function as a perfectly reasonable Post Office, with helpful friendly staff. They are worth the mention purely as an alternative to the larger one in town!
I know post offices get busy and queues are expected, but I didn't really rate my experience at…read morethis post office today. Over lunch time, when everyone is rushing during their lunch break, they had only two people serving when there were about twenty people queueing. Now that post offices deal with so many other enquiries like paying bills, banking & checking forms for passports etc, a transaction at the counter can take so much longer than simply buying stamps. Today was no exception & one of the two servers got embroiled in a tricky issue, leaving just poor cashier #5 to try to get the queue moving. It took about 20 minutes (and once I'd got to the front of the queue, typically!) for them to bring out three extra staff onto the counters to deal with the ever-growing line of impatient people clutching various letters & parcels. However, when I did finally get served, the lady was lovely, apologetic & swift, so that did make up for the wait a little. They do have two self-service machines if you're just looking to post simple packages (UK or international) though one of the machines wasn't working on my visit so there was a queue there too. In general, this post office seems to have a good array of products - all the usual envelopes, packages, etc for purchase, & a photo booth. But perhaps it might be worth going at an off-peak time if you can!
Using this Post Office is my idea of hell! When I first moved to Leeds, and had no idea where the…read moremore local services were to where I was living, I was bound to using this place and always disliked it. Whilst it has all the usual items that you might go to a Post Office to find, envelopes, jiffy bags, stationary and so on, it also has the worst some of the worst queues. I literally used to shiver with dread anytime I made an ebay sale thinking that I'd have to mooch down there and waste an hour in those awful queues, packed in with all those grumbling bodies. There was the occasional quirk, I found some comedy gold in the form of a silly compilation CD that I put in a parcel for my friend for £3, but other than that there are merely the horrid queues! It is situated opposite Tiger Tiger, it is a part of the St Johns Centre shopping mall and it is literally right next to one of the major bus stops in the city centre, which may go some way to explaining the high volume of customers! Although, on the flip side, it means there is really easy access. Essentially, it does everything a Post Office is supposed to do, it's just not that much of a pleasant experience whilst you are doing it.

They sell stamps, envelopes...the usual culprits and also have all of the important forms you may need for renewing your passport and the like. It gets busy at times so expect that you may need to queue for a little while.

Recently moved into Chapel Allerton. I have always been a supporter of my local post office, but…read morehaving utilised this branch my loyalty has ended. It's a shack more than a shop and am yet to visit when the queue wasn't snaking out of the door onto the pavement. When you reach the window, you realise why... the service is run by sloth-like folks who must derive pleasure from seeing disgruntled customers. Today's visit was for travel currency. Lured in by the Post Office campaigns, I discovered on leaving that I had been ripped off, effectively paying 5.5% levy on the advertised rates for online/collect in branch. 6% worse than Asda and Sainsbury where I can visit, not queue, and walk out with my Euros. Won't use again - won't survive closure.

Nevertheless, on many an occasion I have had a handful of items, such as ebay parcels, late birthday cards and so on, to post and simply dreaded the idea of the queues that would await me in Headingley or Leeds. They are virtually never busy, and when they are the queue is a ten-minute wait, not a forty-minute wait. They have friendly helpful staff who have not once, ever offered me a Post Office credit card (I hate it when they do that!) and they have a few extra simply stationary supplies should you require. What could be more perfect? Job done.

The shop window is full of toys like a really ancient toy shop in my old town, although no-one ever seemed to go in and the window display never, ever changed in 15 years of living there.

There was, of course, a sections for cards in there thousands as well as calendars and party accessories, no wonder it was such a hive of activity.
