About us

Postal Operations

Every year around 40 million items of mail are handled by Guernsey Post. Our operations network provides a vital service for thousands of individual and business customers throughout the Bailiwick of Guernsey, including those on the smaller islands of Alderney, Sark and Herm. As well as providing its own wide range of dedicated products and services, Guernsey Post is the agent for Royal Mail services such as Royal Mail Special Delivery; for world leading services such as FedEx; and for Data Post and Parcel Force deliveries across the Bailiwick.

Retail Network

Guernsey Post is an operation that delivers in more than one sense. As well as getting millions of letter, parcel and package items to their correct destination, we operate a strong network of outlets where many thousands of our customers come to us for help and support.

Our comprehensive retail network comprises 11 different post offices. They offer everything from stamp sales to lottery tickets and mobile top-up cards which collectively give Guernsey Post a real presence in every corner of the Bailiwick.

Renowned Stamps

The stamps produced by Guernsey Post are collected worldwide and are renowned for their design and quality. The first independent Guernsey postage stamps were designed and printed in 1969.

Guernsey Post now produces 12 issues of stamps every year. Over the decades many aspects of island life have been celebrated and significant occasions commemorated through our Guernsey and Alderney stamps.

Subjects of past issues have ranged from the sea and the natural world to agriculture and horticulture; from cars and transport to Royalty; and from sport and the arts to our maritime and military heritage.

Helping the Community

As Part of our day to day involvement with the community, our postal workers are often complimented on their contribution to the community they serve. They are often small acts of assistance but sometimes lifesaving.

Additionally, we often engage in community initiatives, promoting local events and charities to foster a sense of community cohesion.

Some of the causes we’ve supported and contributed to in past 12 months includes:

• St Peter Port The Christmas Lights
• Les Bourgs Hospice, St James Concert Hall
• The Guernsey Literary Festival
• Saffery Rotary Round The Island Walk
• The Cardiac Action Group
• St James Concert Hall LBG
• World Aid Walk
• Meals On Wheels
• Help The Aged
• The Guernsey Welfare Service
• The Pollinator Project

Our “Supporting together” initiative encourages our employees to give time and raise money for good cause. In most cases Guernsey Post will match a contribution or provide resources to kick start fund raising initiatives.
