Company description
Ghana Post provides postal, courier, retail, agency and financial services for its customers for profit.

Historically, Ghana Post commenced business in 1854 as the Post and Telecommunications Department of the Colonial Administration. It was transformed into a Corporation in 1974 with the promulgation of the NRC Decree 311 of 1974. The Telecommunications Division was carved out of the Corporation in 1993, leaving the Postal Division to be renamed the Ghana Postal Services Corporation, its enabling act being Act 505 0f 1995. The Corporation was later incorporated under the Companies’ Code (Act 179) in 1995 in line with the enactment of the Statutory Corporations (Conversion To Companies) Act 1993, Act 461; which required some State-owned Enterprises( SOE’s) to become Limited  
Show more Liability Companies; hence its current name Ghana Post Company Limited.

The Company has legal monopoly over the provision of the universal postal service; letters below 100 grams.

They stole my brand new iPhone XR
The general post office in Accra central stole my iPhone XR leaving me with the empty box. Don’t use Ghana post especially when sending a valuable item to someone, they’ll end up stealing it and tell you they’ll investigate the matter which will go no where. The people there are thieves. IT WILL NEVER BE WELL WITH GHANA POST ACCRA CENTRAL, CAGE 5.

Beware of them.

General Post Office stole my iPhone XR.
I tracked my package and was told it has arrived at the general post office in Accra cage 5 waiting for me to come pay and then have it. Only for me to get there and be told my package has been tempered with and the brand new IPhone XR stolen. I was told by the okada boys there that this has been the norm, Ghana post steal packages and get away with it all the time with customers coming in everyday to fight them. Please! Avoid using Ghana post, they are thieves and you’ll regret if you don’t avoid them.

STOLEN BOX
There’s is a lot of stealing going on in the Post Office. It’s a shame and dragging the country’s name to the gutters. I sent a box from the U.S. to Ghana containing a lot of stuffs. My tracking number and everything shows that my box is with them but they stole the box and denied having it.
I want everyone to be aware of these guys. They are a bunch of THIEVES. SHAME ON YOU FOR STEALING PEOPLE STUFFS.
GOD WILL PUNISH YOU.

Bloody Theives
Right in my face, I was told by Ghana Post(Accra Central) that they have received my parcel and that they were going to allocate a pick up location for me to collect it. The next day, they came telling me that my parcel has not come, mean while, their system shows that they have actually received the item. This caused some contradiction between the service personnels who want to steal the item and those who had gotten to know of it for the first time. Later, they all concluded it hasn't come. When I gave them the screenshot from their own system which I received from a customer service personnel, one of them told me "it was just the estimated time of arrival" and another said the tracking shows that the bag containing the item came but when they opened it, my parcel wasn't among the items inside. Insisting that my tracking number was not for my specific item but for the bag containing my item along with many other items.. So that when they checked, my item wasn't inside. This is too unbearable to have such a wretched organization to represent a Nation's sector. Fraud at its peak....

The worst most dishonest postal service on earth
I've sent a parcel from Ghana to Somalia the parcel was not even logged on their online so called tracker until 2 weeks later. I've had agents actually go to their office and nobody had any valuable information about anything. They can't tell you how long it will take for your parcel to arrive at it's destination or where your parcel is located. I've been waiting over 1 month and there has been zero change on the status on their online tracker. If you plan to ship with Ghana post do yourself a favor and don't. It's a so sorry excuse for a post service and you'll be lucky if you ever see what you've shipped ever again.
PUBLIC USER
Absolutely right you are!! I have shipped to every continent on the planet and 50 percent of the countries in the world or more but by far even worse than shipping to Siberia Ghana has the most corrupt postal system in the world and when they aren't busy stealing your stuff they are sitting on their butts not delivering parcels!! OMG!!

Abominable, even Treasonous Service
Two weeks on, I cannot trace a parcel I sent off. Item had been traced all the way until it left the UK last week. Now, Ghana post have only stated ‘On Route’ In their website update, but no further information. I have had my agents go off to their offices to try and trace the item but no one is providing any meaningful answers. In this digital age, one would expect to trace an item easily. Not with Ghana post, I presume. Something needs to be done to weed out the lazy fat idiots who run this organisation. One or two long prison sentences for dereliction of duty might just do the trick. Do they even read these numerous negative comments about their service at all? I wonder. Or perhaps the problem may be systemic. In which case, Donald Trump’s advise to wash people’s inside with chemicals might just provide the needed remedy. Wake up, Ghanapost.

Amasaman Branch
My cousin sent some funds to his house minder through Moneygram. The minder went to the Amasaman Branch to cash it. They refused to cash it because they argue that his name, Reindorf is not a Ghanaian name. This is the cape of a string of horrible experiences at that post office. No wonder the postal service is in Shambles.

Poor and Discourteous Service Delivery by Some Some Front Office Staff at the General Post Office
My mum went to ask for the replacement of the key of our Post Office Box (at the GPO Headquarters, Accra Central) we have owned for 43 years only for some two front office staff to seize the key from my mum; saying that, unless my Dad in whose name, the post box is found writes to them from the UK where he has been residing for over thirty years, for the replacement of the spoilt key, they would not give the spoilt post box key my Mum gave to them.

In spite of my Mum's explanation that, my Dad has been in the UK for a long time; and that he has sons who can write for the replacement of the keys, these two discourteous front office staff at the GPO refused to give her back the keys.

I am wondering how in this modern world, we could have such disrespectful staff working in the Ghana Post, let alone at the Headquarters. In spite of my submission of an official complaint online for the address of this violation of my family's rights I have not yet heard from the General Post Office.

Indeed, the Ghana Post seems a big joke in spite of the implementation of the Ghana Post GPS. Truly, the Ghana Post needs complete overhauling!

threatened by the Post Office because I speak the truth, they are thieves stealing money
I went to the main Postoffice in Accra to collect my package of foodstuff. He charged me half of the worth of the package while foodstuff is supposed to be dutyfree as written in their customs procedures. Then he told me only diplomatic people get their stuff free which is also a lie. He keeps changing his stories. The postoffice worker (John Kwotuah) even treatened me on facebook he will get me arrested next time so that I know my limit. There will be no next time, but the only people that should get arrested is those thieves at the postoffice for taking people's money while they are not supposed to do that. Sending a package by post to Ghana is not the same as anywhere else in the world, in Ghana they charge you any amount they like, so the people can never collect their stuff free of charge which is ridiculous.

Demonstration against ghana post
Ghana post is full of corrupt officials especially that fair woman at the EMS counter, and as for the customs officials, they are even more than the notorious armed robber called ataayi and kombien. For the past two months now my parcel has still gotten to me and when you track they will tell you it is still in transit. We the affected ones need to embark on a serious demonstration against these crooks who call themselves civil servants
