The dilemma with the post office CHR …..Please, Can anyone recommend a good place in Chiswick (!) where I also get a tracking number?Mail Box CHR charged me for a letter recorded plus tracking £18.—. I  almost fainted.

There's a Post Office upstairs at the WHSmith store in Richmond. I've always found the staff there to be very helpful.

FWIW There is an excellent post office on Acton Vale.125-127 The Vale, Acton W3 7RQ A 272 bus will take you there or if you are driving, I think there are some stop and shop spaces around but that is a bit hit and miss.Quand l'avenir est inconnu, dirigez vous chez l'imprévu!

And there are other Evri places in Chiswick High Road and Heathfield Terrace.Evri can be ok but service varies, but in current circumstances worth considering.

The Fauconberg Road Drop + Collect Post Office (also known as the Fauconberg Road Evri ParcelShop) is located at 30 Fauconberg Road, London, W4 3JY. This location is part of the Evri network and offers services to send, collect, and return parcels. It is open Monday-Sunday. The Fauconberg Road Post Office also offers standard delivery services with Evri, aiming to deliver in 2-3 working days. + has tracking.

It is a massive pain that our PO is closed. Hopefully, whatever the issue is, it will be resolved and the PO will open promptly, as it must be causing delays for commercial and domestic customers alike! I used the King St PO last week. Not the most friendly, but there we go. There is one in Ealing Common (I have not ventured to this one as of yet), by the tube, so that is another option which isn't too far away.

If you have a printer at home you can buy your postage and send your parcel from home.Go to the Royal Mail website select send parcel now. They give the dimensions and weight limits of different sizes of parcels. You weigh your parcel. Pay for the postage and print of the label to put on your parcel. You can even pay 30p for collection from your home address.If you haven’t got a printer you can tick a box to have the postman bring your label with him when he collects your parcel.It’s easier to do than write about the service

Completely understand. But there isn’t one.Mailbox offer options but they may well charge more for the service.

I feel your pain and I’d love to know as well.I have family in Europe and have used the post offices at 168 King Street and also used one just near Seven Stars corner in Askew Road.Depends very much on where you live/work.
