When I came back to collect the documents (he called me just a short while before he had said they were due) the quality was excellent - far better than anything I had imagined when I went in a few days earlier. He obviously charged me for the printing but only a further £30 for design work. I cannot recommend this place highly enough.

This is not about this specific Royal Mail branch. Royal Mail in general is…read moreThe. Worst. Carrier. Ever. The slowest possible way to move anything from point A to B. If you order anything, anywhere, DO pay the few pounds extra for any other mail carrier available! Even orders from overseas arrive within two or three days with any other carrier, from anywhere. With RM: promised "guaranteed within 10 working days", took over three weeks! Oh, and parcel tracking? Even on "First class" parcels: "items are only tracked after the item has been delivered" - EXCUSE ME?? I'm not making this up, that is from their actual tracking homepage. I will know that it has been delivered, when it has been delivered, I wouldn't call it "tracking" at all if it's only giving information in retrospect... Seriously, avoid at all cost!

I recently had to mail something at the location on High Street Kensington. There was a long wait…read moreat the postal machines. After standing in line I asked a young lady staffer for assistance but she informed me that my US credit card could not be used. At least I was able to determine weights and costs with this machine. After having to repackage due to overweighted, I made the line to the teller and the woman there further helped me. She was very friendly (perhaps because I was a foreigner?) and told me that I had to rewrite my return address on the back of the package and that I could just come back to the front of the line next time if the automated postal machines were not working. She waited while I added my address on the back and she covered the return address on the front with a white label. She told me how long it would take and smiling the entire time. I would not hesitate to come back to this location in the future. Friendly and attentive Royal Mail Staff here!

Often the place I have to go to collect parcels not delivered for whatever reason. The worst part…read moreof collecting items from there is the opening hours. It used to be just open 07:00-13:00 Monday to Saturday. So if you worked all day you stood little or no chance of collecting your items. However in a master stroke by Royal Mail it is now open 08:00-20:00 on Wednesday's. This means that you stand a better chance of not having to cue forever on a Saturday morning!!! There is no parking available so if you have driven you will need to keep an eye out for the wardens who enjoy giving out those pesky parking tickets which cost far to much for 5 minutes of parking, but that is a whole other argument which I do not wish to get into right now!! The staff are, in my opinion, always polite. Depending on the time of day and how many people are in front of you will affect the speed at which you get seen to. A necessary evil which with the opening hours changes is a much better experience.

Don't even think about asking for sellotape or else risk the wrath of hell! Now imagine Mail Boxes, etc. about 30 seconds further down the road from the Chiswick Post Office. I went in there a couple of days ago to send something I'd sold on eBay. Not only did they actually look happy, something the Post Office hasn't managed in all the years I've been in there, but they also helped me box-up a difficult item and happily offered me parcel tape and a marker pen - all done with a smile, without queuing at all and at the equivalent price of the Post Office. I really wish I'd discovered them years ago and shall be using their other branches in other places I visit in London. Thanks Mailboxes. Post Office, never again, goodbye, auf Wiedersehen, au revoir, see ya later alligator!
