Post Office

Using this Post Office is my idea of hell! When I first moved to Leeds, and had no idea where the more local services were to where I was living, I was bound to using this place and always disliked it.
Whilst it has all the usual items that you might go to a Post Office to find, envelopes, jiffy bags, stationary and so on, it also has the worst some of the worst queues. I literally used to shiver with dread anytime I made an ebay sale thinking that I’d have to mooch down there and waste an hour in those awful queues, packed in with all those grumbling bodies.
There was the occasional quirk, I found some comedy gold in the form of a silly compilation CD that I put in a parcel for my friend for £3, but other than that there are merely the horrid queues!
It is situated opposite Tiger Tiger, it is a part of the St Johns Centre shopping mall and it is literally right next to one of the major bus stops in the city centre, which may go some way to explaining the high volume of customers! Although, on the flip side, it means there is really easy access.
Essentially, it does everything a Post Office is supposed to do, it’s just not that much of a pleasant experience whilst you are doing it.

This post office is rather large and has many counters available to take parcels, sort out pensions and sell stamps along with any other post office related jobs you may need to do.
They sell stamps, envelopes… the usual culprits and also have all of the important forms you may need for renewing your passport and the like.
It gets busy at times so expect that you may need to queue for a little while.

Now, you’re probably thinking, a Post Office is just a post office, Royal Mail, bla bla bla. This Post Office is the daddy of all the post offices in Leeds. They have about 8 desks and do all your usual services plus the ones that the little ones don’t do. It can get extremely busy at peak times though, so if you have a strict time schedule you should go with time to spare or find a smaller one.
