My son went into this apology for a 'post office's which is 50% a low grade convenience store. He was wanting to collect Amazon deliveries for me which had been addressed to and forwarded from the now closed (proper) Post Office in Morningside. This replacement 'Post Office' had behind their counter SEVEN newlly arrived packages addressed to me, and the (asian) manager REFUSED to hand any/all of them over to my son saying that they were not properly addressed. The address label, printed by Amazon and wth the Amazon name and logo on it, had my name on it, and the old Morningside Post Office name and address on the label. (I had discovered that the old Post Office had closed about 1-2 hours after sending my order(s) to Amazon, then phoned Amazon customer service in the Phillpines to get them to redirect my orders to the new Morningside Post Office. Consequently delivery companies either rerouted my orders to the new Post Office, or else arrived at the closed Post Office, saw the notice on the door with the address of the new Post Office, and took my orders there,
5-7 minutes away. No big deal. However neither Amazon customer services or I had reckoned on the 100% unhelpful, obstructive attitude of the manager of the new Post Office in refusing to hand over the 7 packages addressed to me
at the closed Post Office.
He said he is going to have all seven of the packages collected and returned to the senders, one of the senders being Amazon in Luxembourg !
This character surely has to get the dubious award of Most Unhelpful And Obstructive Post Office Employee in Britain; I would give the Post Office ZERO out of 10 for helpfulness, and 10 out of 10 for unhelpfulness.
If this character does the same thing with all 29 items on my 18 orders, it will take 6 to 8 weeks before I can track on my credit card statements which items have been refunded or not, and weeks to find out what has happened to missing items ... before I can start reordering my original 'basket' of Amazon items... thanks to this truly awful new Morningside Post Office and in particular it's exceptionally unhelpful and intransigent manager.
