Hulme Post Office

This is my first experience using this post office. I’ve never used it before and I’m not sure how it works it the fact that I’ve walked in an hour and a half before closing time and there’s no one to serve at the desk at all has given me very bad first impressions.
Do the staff that work at the subway also work for the post office? People are getting served for food, but I need this parcel dropping off and I’m stood here, writing this review and no one is here yet. Waiting 30 minutes and counting.

Have used this PO a few time trying to collect items the post man had left there.
Long queues always, staff slow and unhelpful, last visit after queueing for 30 min, told my ID was not good enough, even though I had the letter the postman had left, and proof of address, stay clear of this shop if you can possibly avoid it.

This is more than just a post office to be honest. Open from 8am till 8pm every weekday, Hulme Post Office deals with all your postage needs in a calm and helpful fashion, as well as functioning as an excellent vendor of confectionary and even a daily convenience store with milk, bread and the like. They also have the only no charge cash machine in the area.
There’s never a large queue and the post office section is separate to the rest of the shop so you don’t have to wait when you don’t need to. There are two post office counters as well so busy periods are dealt with aptly. You can also buy stamps and envelops from the shop counter so if you just need to send a quick letter it can be done in seconds and dispatched from the post box just outside.
Everything you’d want from a post office. Woo!
