They are operated by postmasters who can bring all the services that their core branches provide to more isolated areas. These services include posting letters and parcels, personal banking and savings and insurance, providing accessibility and convenience to thousands of people every week.
The Hosted Service is operated out of a local building like a cafe, village hall or community centre on certain days of the week and at set times. It provides customers with access to almost all of our products and services.
The Partner Service is where we offer our services through a partner – for example a local shop. It means that customers can access over 80% of our services, usually whenever our partner’s business is open.
Our Home delivery service is for very small communities and enables customers to order a reduced range of Post Office products and services over the telephone. The products may either be delivered to a customer’s home by the core subpostmaster or are available for collection by the customer at a local Drop-In Session.
