Post Office-Palmer

Despite three people working there only one person is ever serving the customers. Therefore there are ALWAYS queues out the door. It’s a beautiful building but the owners have taken no care to maintain it. The lovely windows are covered with old notices that no one reads, the inside of the store sells so much tat that I can’t imagine anyone actually buys. There are cardboard boxes everywhere stuffed with more tat to sell - it just looks so messy and sad inside. If the owner would tidy the inside every so often and expose the windows, it would look so much nicer. As a high street essential, the place needs a bit of love and care to be honest!

Make sure and know what you need exactly before going. Blatantly overcharged me for special delivery and lied about there being no cheaper tracked options telling me it I the only one. Of course I checked afterwards and there are several, can see lots of reviews saying the same, wish I'd checked before going. Shocking stuff really. Poster up saying they are a private business so not taking part in the CWU strikes - this is what we get, public services turned into rip offs. 15 minute queue as well. Won't be back!

Staff really helpful and friendly. Queue was long but went down quickly. They have photos booth and all your postal / stationary needs

Went to post one small packet and one letter which had already a stamp on it. The guy who served wanted me to buy additional stamp as a Large Letter. As I had checked at home and knew the letter was within the limits for weight only 6 grams! and measurement I asked him to check it on the usual gauge and that proved my point but he still insisted I should post iin the outside post box just because he didn't want to issue me a proof of posting! Not helpful at all!!

One of my favourite post office, staff really nice and they are also quick.

This post office overcharging customers! For one return post they charge £76, sell all 100 packages. Needed one! In quee in front of me, one customer has been charged for small parcel the most expensive one, I have got same 1st class sign, 1/3 price. Should be stopped!

Friendly, helpful and efficient. I don't recognise the place described by previous reviewers.

Waited in line to renew my driving license. When i got to the counter the counter woman told me to go to have my picture taken despite the fact the I had already got official pictures. She refused to accept them. This is a scam to make more money for the post office. Man shouted out that the system was closed down. No apology. Nothing. They treat you in there like you are doing them a favour. Very rude! Outrageous treatment. Place has simply become a money making market! Won't be returning

Always busy due to only 1 or 2 staff at one time ...if one staff member only queuing for 15mins minimum

Oh dear! The Manager of this Post Office should be ashamed, the exterior looks very rundown on this attractive historical building, which negatively affects the shopping high road. The interior has gone down hill, just an unorganized mess and very cheap looking as well, I doubt this Post Office looked like this in bygone days when people had more shop pride. The staff are extremely moody and unpleasant individuals, clearly they are very unhappy and depressed to find themselves working at this Post Office, they need to make an effort and find a more suitable job that does not involve any customer skills! Stitch is housed in this store, it's not really a haberdashery shop. The paint work on the front framing the windows above the this Post Office/shop are all chipped away, and just need a coat of paint, a very affordable job! The beautiful arch windows are plastered with notices nobody cares to read that only result to giving a tatty look to the building, there should be a decent notice board on the side of the building for notices the large wooden doors need re varnishing. I wish those who are responsible for the buildings on the high road would NOT be allowed to neglect or trash these buildings because it's what makes an area look rundown and uninviting. Shop owners need to take better responsibility to help improve trading in the area. Hanging baskets filled with sessional plants, evergreen plants at each side of this Post Office will also help make it attractive and aid trade for STITCH. Just needs some effort. Mind you, if you see the people responsible for this Post Office than don't expect anything good to happen. Pity, Enfield Council does not fine such shop owners for neglect.
