The phrase 'organised chaos' springs to mind every time I step inside the Carlton Post office…read more They've got a weird array of knick-knacks for sale and mounds of parcels behind the counter. Not ordered stacks, but rambling mounds. I'm sure the health and safety inspectors would have a field day. Despite this, they've not yet misplaced or lost any of the packages I've sent or received. Something about their system just works. And the staff are extremely helpful. I came in on a Saturday to check for a parcel I was desperately waiting for, and although it was yet to arrive the older chap who works behind the counter offered to let me come in before opening on the Monday morning to check again. That's pretty good customer service in my book. They've got all your standard AusPost goods, plus extended services like passport interviews, so I say skip the shiny clean post office on Lygon and head to this one instead.

One of the best post offices you'll find. Service can sometime be slow but that's only because they…read moretake the time to take care of every customer. They'll also advise you on the cheapest way to send a package. Unlike some post offices, when these guys weight something they'll often round it down so that you don't have to pay extra just because it's run over by a few grams.

Great little post office, tucked away near the corner of Nicholson/Brunswick Rd. I've always been…read moregreeted warmly by friendly staff, who notice repeat visits and are eager to help. Stationary is towards the back with a good selection of cards up front. Later opening on Fridays is a plus.

He wouldn't serve me no matter what, when in the time he was talking to me, he could've literally scanned my items and we're done.

That being said I have been to this post office a number of times and I am always impressed with the quality of service that is at this outlet. The staff here are fantastic. Not only are they friendly and polite, but also they are also truly helpful and on several occasions they have assisted me in endless discussions about passports, visa deliveries and general knowledge of posting letters (like I said before, I am mostly an electronic mail person). I had to lodge a passport application earlier in the year, and I was flawed by the efficient process with which they assessed my application and sent it off. This is a location that is run smoothly and with genuine warmth. While I only come here a couple of times a year, I have always found the service to be consistently good.

The people that man the Kew post office are, how should I put this... fairly lack-lustre about their jobs. They don't go head over heels to impress you, or work speedily to get you out of there ASAP but I suppose it wouldn't be so thrilling working in a post office, so who can blame them. There are heaps of quirky little things you can buy here, including cook books, soft toys and CD's/DVD's. So if you are looking for that last minute gift you are likely to find something here. Post boxes of various sizes are available for rent - perfect if you are a local business or just-so-happen to get a lot of mail! Finally, and this is going to sound ridiculous, but one of the best things about this Post Office is the AIR CONDITIONING. I may or may not go to the Post Office more than is required on a hot summers day...
