- PDPatrick DalgleishNov 29, 20211.0Older woman that runs the place is so rude. She has all the charisma of an un lanced boil, wild horses couldn't drag me back to this post office. When the other post office closed recently I drove to Colchester rather than deal with this unprofessional, and unpleasant, self important Karen.

- CWChan WalrusMay 16, 20195.0Wivenhoe Post Office is a hidden gem! With lots of interesting items you cannot find anywhere else in our home town, it contains everything you might want. They occasionally have some specials such as Lucky Charms which are a nightmare to get in this country!
