The flipping post office is closed down. What am I to do with this parcel that's tucked under my arm?? Is anyone providing this service??

I can do deliveries, just write down where you want it to go, and give me the cash for petrol plus 140% of the petrol money. I NEED TO BE PAID IN CASH, NOT NOTES THOUGH, 1 or 2 POUND COINS!!!

There are many private courier firms around who not only deliver parcels, but come to one's door to collect. Most are cheaper than Royal mail; and gaurantee a delivery date. I have used Hermes and Amtrak successfully, by booking online and paying by card. No queuing in a Post Office.

I sent a small parcel from the Post Office last week. It cost me under �3.00. I don't want to hire Hermes to do that. I just want to go into the Post Office to do that. Also there's an entire generation of older people who wouldn't know where to start. What about them?

Is it actually closed, or was it just shut on Monday only, Mark?

I thought it had three weeks left before it closed-what about the sorting office, how does it affect that? I need to get a parcel out to, I'm not getting the bus to Newhaven to do that-this is the COUNTY TOWN!

It's ridiculous, a town of 20,000+ without a post office.
I don't understand how it's been allowed, frankly.

You can use the PO at Ringmer. Nearer than Newhaven.

Seems that Post Offices nationally had to close for an hour or so due to a computer glitch. Very bad luck, Mark.
There is talk of it moving to the library.
Try Glynde?
