The only difference between that and doing it yourself is that the post office clerk checks your application and sends it via recorded delivery I think.
The actual application process aside from that is the same as if you'd have sent the forms etc. yourself.

you might have to have an interview, its just asking security questions about you to make sure it is you thats getting the passport, you can pay extra to get the passport in 1 day or 1 week but i dont know how much it is

Got mine in less than a week when I did it in March. Bet they'll be busy at this time of year though.
