Each week Newmarket Post Office handles 500 Pension and benefit payments for families 400 to 500 Parcels a week, 6 bags daily, many for local businesses 500 Bill payments Unlike many modern businesses or services Raj has strived to provide a personal service to all customers - he knows virtually everyone by name, and people don't feel 'processed' like they may do in other places. Furthermore for businesses Newmarket Post Office is certainly very helpful, and Raj can often be seen after closing still organising mail and parcels for many of his customers. On top of this, like many sub post offices, Raj provides a friendly warm atmosphere, advice on the full range of Royal Mail products and services, and importantly a local service to the elderly - many of which simply cannot get down into town easily to manage their post and pensions. The post office is a busy thriving place, you rarely get away without queuing and to be honest thats it's biggest problem! How can a post office where you need to queue NOT be necessary to keep open? It beggars belief!
