Moseley Post Office

If there’s one thing I do not like it’s waiting in queues. I don’t know if it is a coincidence, but every time I pop in to this post ofiice, i am served almost immediately! The staff are all helpful and competent, they know what they are doing and are patient with customers who don’t.
There is also a good selection of magazines, snacks and a refrigerator with soft drinks, so even if I encounter any queues there someday, I’ll be happy reading a magazine and eating a snack while I wait. The guy behind the magazine counter is incredibly friendly and entertaining too.
I think one of the only things I would have to complain about the place is not having a pen on the bench to write the addresses on letters, but this is hardly a complaint. Going to the post office is usually a chore but it’s almost a pleasure at this particular branch!

Like most things in Moseley, the post office has character to it. Can’t say that I’ve ever reviewed a post office before. But then I can’t say I’ve been into any particularly memorable post offices before. Other than this one.
Firstly, let me just say that the staff are all very efficient and know their stuff. But, for me, one of the pluses of this particular post office is the other customers. The diverse variety of people you get in Moseley appears to be condensed into its post office queues, so time spent in the queue seems to go much faster. Who knew that a post office queue could be diverting? The guy behind the newspapers & confectionary counter always has something amusing to say as well, just to keep you entertained on your way out.
Of course, it’s also in a lovely historic building too, which is a bonus. And I’ve never had anything other than good service there. So, it may only be a post office, but one perhaps slightly more worth noting.

I use this post office on a regular basis for all my post office related needs. The post office is usually quite busy in the mornings, at lunchtime and at the end of the day, so I would avoid coming to here at those times if you can avoid it.
The post office has very competent staff and I have never once lost my temper in the queue or for inferior service by the staff.
They also have a fairly wide range of magazines and confectionary and I am always striking up a conversation with the very friendly chap that works at the confectionary counter. He is slightly abstract in his thinking, but once you can appreciate his sense of humour you will be addicted to speaking to him.
Good service, short waiting times and a pleasant atmosphere. Yes Moseley Post Office ticks all of these boxes. Surely this can’t be a real post office?
