Post Office

After closing the Post Office’s in Camberwell and Elephant and Castle this branch has picked up a lot of extra trade. This means it’s always incredibly busy with humungous long queues, and although staff are helpful you should really be careful if you intend to send a lot of items
On a visit a few months ago I showed the post office worker an envelope and asked if it would be ok going 1^st class, he said it was fine. As it turns out it was not.
To my horror I was told by the receiver of my card that I had not paid the correct postage (it was short 6p), they were happy to pay the extra few pennies, but when she went to the Post Office to collect it she was told she had to pay an additional £1 as a handling charge! I suppose the Post Office have to make money somehow but it did leave me a little angry.
Other than that they function as any other Post Office would, but I now tend to use the one’s in central London as the staff are more happy. well look it at least.
Note to self: ALWAYS weigh your items to check in case you are sure it will not go over the allocated weight limit.
