- JBJD BrodieJun 2, 20265.0Best post office in Ipswich. Staff are thorough and helpful at every turn.
- CBCecilia BriuzisMar 26, 20261.0Posted a month ago, a return to Sports direct of a brand new pair of trainers and they stole it!! The parcel didn't move from that date and no one is taking responsibility for it nor giving my money back. Claims procedure absolute joke. Also they gave me an email to get a response and it failed. Bloody joke
- RCrichard crosbyJan 1, 20265.0Everything a Post Office should be and more. If only more of our shops could be like this. A pure delight.
- JOJoanna OldhamSep 23, 20205.0I totally agree. This is the best post office I know.
