Really it deserves a whole-hearted four stars for friendly and fast service, as the same cheery chap is usually in each time I vist (and he didn't judge me too harshly when I attempted to shuttle some whisky out across the border--who knew it wasn't allowed to be sent outside the U.K. ehh??). Unfortunately though, the cheeriness of the staff isn't quite matched by a rather lackluster interior, giving it two stars for its questionably dismal and post-apocalyptic vibes. IMO it just needs some new lighting and a thorough dusting, and it'd be right as rain--much like the shiny new post on Dalry! Ah well--you'll still find me here shelling out an arm and a leg to send ginormous parcels back home to the States anyway!

They post letters and parcels. You can also buy all sort of cards like birthday cards , pencils, tapes, envelopes, notepads, boxes .... or send money or bank money etc. There is also a mail box around the corner where you can post your letters at any time. Beware of the postal collection times so! The staff is very nice. Opening times are until 6.30pm during the week and 5pm on Saturday what is ideal. Closed on Sundays.

If I could leave negative stars I would…read more This morning I received a parcel looking very familiar to me - turns out I had posted it 4 days prior to this as an Etsy order. The teller at the till had entered MY details on the listed "sender" address on the parcel and not the very clearly marked "deliver to". Upon arrival and seeing the mistake (made only by the post office) I promptly headed to the post office to resend my parcel. I explained what had happened to the teller, he looked at me as if I was from mars and just stared at the parcel, not understanding their glaringly obvious error. The tellers colleague took the parcel (and my proof of receipt) and said she would deal with it. The teller in question has served me many times before and is equally charming as she is rude and obnoxious. Instead of an apology and telling me they would fix the mistake free of charge, the woman grunted at me for not positioning the labels in the correct direction on said parcel. I responded by asking how is it my responsibility for them to read "deliver to" and "sender" when that is literally their job!! I was told it was human error, but also the computer cannot read the label - so its machines AND customers who are at fault for this. "The computer says no." I explained that this was an Etsy order and I will now be penalised for their mistake. I also acknowledged that I understand human error happens, but a simple apology for the mistake would go a long way - radio silence. I am disgusted by the way I was treated for a situation this post office put me in and took zero accountability for their own mistake. AVOID. Horrible, awful people.

I hopped in here on my way past yesterday to post a couple of letters. Yes, not even parcels. One…read morewas for New York, so not your standard stampage, and I wasn't sure the other still counted as "Letter" as it was quite thick (17 pages. I ramble. You know that.) I wombled in at lunchtime and was surprised by how short the queue was. I'd thought that somewhere this central would be jam-packed, especially at lunchtime, but not so, and the queue was moving along at a fair lick, so kudos to the folks at the windows. I, however, poor soul that I am, fished out my envelopes and was instantly barked at by a lady on patrol. "STAMPS? YOU WANT STAMPS?" - and she hustled me out of line. There's an express queue for postage, it seems, of which I was unaware; my regular post office is the one on St Mary's Street - infinitely more compact and manual - so I wasn't used to the idea. Oh, provincial me. It was helpful of her, but she was also slightly alarming and officious in her manner, which kind of made me want to take these lengthy epistles, toils and spoils of my aching hand and brain, and run for the wind. "I won't let her hurt you," I would whisper as we fled down to the shore... But fortunately, reason prevailed, and I was swiftly served with the correct postage. A point here and there at the card machine and she bustled off to find somebody else. I feel a warm fuzziness about post offices not dissimilar to that which I feel about Christmas, and so I wasn't equipped to deal with this mild intimidation. Trying to claw back some of that festive posty spirit, I pulled my international stamp for the New York missive out of the machine, and bounced excitedly. I'm no avid philatelist but I do love to see a pretty stamp with a picture on it. "Look, it's all colourful and pretty!" I squeaked to the customer at that moment replacing me at the machine, and pointed at my picturesque postage stamp. I was met with a derisive stare. Oh. Not that kind of post office then. Still, it was light, it was quiet, and I got everything done quickly that I needed to do. I wouldn't avoid it if I were nearby, but all else being equal, I would choose the queues and jovially messy jiffy bag walls at teeny weeny St Mary's Street over the efficient brusqueness of Frederick Street.

Edinburgh was no exception and we trekked over to this post office about a 7 minute walk away from our Doubletree Hotel just to get it stamped. That turned out to be very close and convenient. The post card is always easy, the postage not always so in some locations. This post office may or may not be typical, but it was busy with customers, and crowded in a tight space with a lot of stationary and utility supplies, and there were two clerks, one at each of the two counters. Our clerk was an affable guy. The post card postage back to the US was 3.2 GBP - yikes!, but whatever. They got the job done for us and that's an a-ok rating from me. Thank you!

I was there a month ago again to send a package and they seem to be bothered when you ask questions.

Why are these women working here? Utterly poor customer service. Change staff, they always look so bitter and sad to be there. Many people needing a job and they are still there getting paid for doing absolutely nothing. Shame on you both.

They seem to positively delight in being as officious as possible. They belittle people who do not speak English as their first language. They enjoy sitting there looking all important shuffling bits of paper about while the queue builds. Eventually they'll bark "Next!" and look at you as if you're something the cat dragged in while making a simple transaction as arduous as possible. I'm considering making an official complaint to the Post Office about their behaviour and attitude.
