- DHDerick HopeAug 1, 20261.0I was sending an item to Oxford, as the sender I got a printed receipt from the post office. There was a failed delivery attempt which needed follow-up but with tracking number. Unfortunately the slip was misplaced. When I tried to follow from the post office, they could not trace or offer any help, not even to check from their system. No phone contact or email was taken for a message, why rely on a traditional paper-based method in this era. I lost an expensive phone, and the Post Office denies any responsibility.
- LRlaur rualMay 30, 20265.0I had to send a parxel to the post office but due to the heat and my multiple sclerosis my hands were acting up so I was struggling with the boxing so I walked to the counter for help,Mark was very friendly and helpful. He helped me sort out the packaging and in spite of me looking like a normal person he was friendly and nonjudgmental throughout the process. He seemed a bit surprised when I asked for his name. But I wanted it to write down this review and thank him
- CCCoopsMay 7, 20265.0Had the knowledge and expertise the other local post office didn’t have. Took my pre-paid parcel without hesitation and gave me a receipt all within 2 minutes.
