Market Place Post Office

Much the same as all the other reviews. The blonde lady is lovely and helpful. The owner is grumpy and unhelpful, and seems to want to make everyone's life needlessly difficult. It really is hit and miss who you get.

Lynn was extremely helpful with large packages we were sending back to the US. Quite a number of customers were accommodated while we were packing boxes and making a general nuisance of ourselves. We couldn't ask for better service!

It’s now my ambition in life to get the owner/ manager man to crack a smile

Just don’t go here if you want to be ripped off. Served by the guy I’m guessing was the owner that everyone else is talking about. Said I wanted a parcel sent 1st class, wasn’t big or overly heavy. He put the value at £750 without even asking me what the value was, labelled it special delivery and so was charged £16.45. Because I was sending a lot of things I didn’t think anything of the price until I looked at the receipt later on. Shame on you Mr for taking advantage of people at Christmas time!!

Have always had a good experience with others who work there, but today we posted an international letter and were served by the owner - after checking online prices back home we realised he'd charged us the wrong amount for international postage so we're now concerned our letter will likely not arrive. When we returned to the post office to explain he very abruptly told us the post had already been collected, and didn't give us any idea what might happen to the letter.

The asian guy charged me to ship a package of £ 7.65 when the website says it costs about £ 3. When I realized there was a mistake, I pointed it out to him and he told me he thought there was something of value in the package and made me pay the higher insurance. The point is, I never said that there was anything expensive inside the package and therefore this does not make any sense. Eventually he agreed to charge me the lowest price and literally threw me the money he owed me! (by the way I paid with a debit card and he refunded me in cash). When I went out of the shop and double-checked the second receipt, I realized that he still charged me for first class, even though I had clearly asked for the cheapest price. At that point I was too scared to go back and I gave up, but I will never go back, it was a surreal experience.

Appalling service; I agree with other comments about miserable staff".I visited and specifically asked for "signed for" service

I have been going to this post office for years.. the Indian guy who owns the business is unusually arrogant and I have heard him being rude to the two poor ladies who work there.. I have stopped going there now and I hope the two ladies find the courage to leave.

I've had the misfortune to be served by the Indian guy a couple of times now. Rude, surly, belligerent, monosyllabic...and that's me being polite. I only use this place if it's an absolute emergency.
