Please contact your bank to request paying-in slips as these are not held in Post Office branches *A cheque deposit envelope for your bank (these are available from your own bank or the majority are stocked in Post Office branches) Please do not enclose cash. Full instructions can be found on the cheque deposit envelope. Simply hand over your sealed cheque deposit envelope to the Post Office who will provide you with a receipt for your cheque deposit envelope.

Why did my Post Office refuse to issue change?

If you’ve registered for the Change Giving service, you shouldn’t be refused change at your nominated Post Office branch. You may have been refused if you’re not signed up to this service. If you’d like to do so, contact your bank directly to find out whether they offer the service and how to sign up. If you’ve signed up but aren’t using your nominated branch, it’s at that branch’s discretion whether they have enough change available to fulfil your request. To get more information about your bank’s services and Change Giving, contact them directly.

What is the Post Office Change Giving service?

I have a assistance dog and have gone in there numerous times the last couple of times have gone in have been approached rudely and aggressively by a member of staff you can't have dogs in here even though I have explained that service/assistance dogs are allowed in I went in today and was met with oh you can't have dogs in the post office I explained to this woman once again shes a assistance dog she's there to assist me she didn't care and told me to leave her outside and I said no I also reminded her that refusing someone with a assistance dog entry is illegal she didn't care and apparently last time I went in my dog tried attacking her which she never my assistance dog jumped up at the counter to make sure I was ok and there wasn't anything that was a risk to me and I explained this today and on the day I was in there I explained to the woman she was being melodramatic but one thing I will say is your staff need educating on the diversity law and equalities also because under the equalities act 2010 it's illegal to refuse someone access with a assistance dog I will be coming in again I will not be intimidated by uneducated members of staff you and or your staff are not above the law I have my dog appropriately signed so you can see this I have my paperwork to prove this also legally I don't have to show you the paperwork but I'm more than happy to do so I'm also more than happy to educate you all on the equalities act 2010 as well if you want?

The woman at the till was very rude and disrespectful to my best mate this is unacceptable behaviour that the woman was speaking rude to my best friend and plus my mate has a disability because he was dropping a parcel to be sent to someone in Wigan and this needs to be taken action straightaway and all staff should respect people with disabilities

I came in to send a parcel and the woman who was serving me was very rude and disrespectful. She kept talking to me in a tone that I didn’t like at all… Message to all staff who work there please be respectful with people who have disabilities especially autism 😡
