Altrincham Post Office is now located inside WHSmith, on the upper floor, while this is a concept…read morewhich I dislike with a Post Office, this store isn't too bad. They have a good amount of counters, and also had a good amount of staff working meaning the queue seemed to go down pretty quickly, so the wait wasn't too bad. They didn't have any automated self-service postal machines, I would have liked to see them here as most Post Offices, even those within WHSmith locations do seem to have them. It's a shame to see Altrincham Post Office shut on Sunday's, even though the store it is located in does remain open (WHSmith), so that makes little sense in my opinion. 3* - Decent Post Office, facilities are minimal due to WHSmith location, but quick service and pretty good for a small town.

This Post Office is located inside ASDA's Civic Centre Superstore in Wythenshawe town centre, it is…read morein a separate area of the building to the main supermarket and also features the Coinstar machine. The staff working are in Asda uniform as they operate the Post Office, but you can still get most the features as you would in a regular crown post office, something which has been fading rapidly within the past few years. The opening hours are fairly good, with the Post Office staying open until 6 pm daily, apart from Sunday when they're closed, as the main store is open I don't see why they remain closed on Sunday's and it would be nice for them to consider Sunday opening in the future. The inside of the Post Office feels pretty old, they have a large number of counters, but there never seems to be more than three or so in use, I think the most annoying part is they have protective screens between every counter, even ones which aren't in use and never will be, this means all it's doing is getting in the way and making it difficult to actually get to the counter and move about the Post Office. Again, it's a shame they haven't put in any newer facilities such as a ticketing system for queuing to avoid the dreadful barrier round and round style which this location and many others have, and they also don't have any self-serve posting machines (many other Post Offices have them now), even though there would certainly be enough room. 3* - OK, pretty good for a non-crown post office location, the staff seemed friendly and I was served quick. Pretty average/basic Post Office.

Oh, I love me a good Post Office.

Where was I to get my Euros? What about that unfathomably large parcel I wanted to ship to somewhere silly? They might as well have trod upon my heart. And then I moved to the South Suburbs, and discovered this little gem en route to the Wilmslow Road section of Withington, approximately 30 seconds stroll from my new home, right next to Deco. How boss is that? I can pop along, do something boring and Post Officey, and then treat myself to some vinyl or a classic 80s movie on DVD. This Post Office is a good-un. Instead of simply being a small concession in a shop, as they so often are these days, Withington's tiny treat offers everything the quintessential suburban Post Office should. Random accessories like scarves, rolls of Munchies and those After Eight sweets, a tiny bit of pick n' mix, cards and stationery. Plus the people who run it are nice. Everyone comes here, from students to old folk (who usually arrive at the same time mid-afternoon), and it's housed in a quaint little building. I'm definitely a fan. Withington Post Office, please don't fall victim to this Post Office Plague that seems to be claiming so many victims. If I ever have to take a bus to post a letter, I'll cry.

Never have I had worse service than at this post office. All the staff were rude and disrespect…read more Their equipment in their premises is not working. I used the equipment without knowing this because there was no sign to say it was out of order. the machine took my money, and when I went to explain this to the staff, they started huffing and puffing and acting like it was my fault. One of ladies (staff) started shouting at me and making threatening comments. Absolutely horrified that people are allowed to work in yhe service industry. Disgusted that no action will be taken against the individual who treated us with such rudeness and disrespect.

Located on the busy Stockport Road, this post office looks tired and old. There are some tattered…read moreflags hanging on rusty flagpoles outside, and the sign is faded. Inside things are perfectly clean and orderly, in fact it betrays the impression its exterior gave me. I absolutely love it when post offices combine being a post office with selling odd little items too, some of which have nothing to do with post or stationary. Stockport Road Post Office is a prime example for this. Here, not only can you post a parcel, but you can also buy confectionary, insoles for your shoes, cigarettes behind the counter and Daz washing powder. Excellent. The staff are pleasant and well-presented and the queue moves quickly so that despite the lack of those self-service machines which I love so much, I'm sending my parcel within just a few minutes of walking in.

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*

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.
