This use to be our go to post office for packages, and thank goodness it is not anymore…read more I was reminded as to why I dislike this post office today. I went in and was posting a package and I ended up waiting in line for 20 minutes just to post a package. At one time, there was only one person working behind the counter because a person had gone on break and then slowly more people appeared to help out. The customer service at this post office literally sucks and every time I've been there I think I've probably had to wait 20 minutes or longer to get to the front of the line. I was hoping that after a while this post office would get better, but it looks like I'll need to stick to the other ones I go to instead.

If you are collecting an item make sure to follow the signs to the side counter as the queue for the main counter can be quite long and they will only redirect you there anyway.

Serving the local community for over 100 years now, the Basin Post Office would have to be one of…read morethe most charming GPO's in Melbourne. Harking back to the country town that The Basin once was, this old wooden building also operates as a gift store, with ornaments and collectable trinkets on display. It also has the best view in Melbourne, with the rolling Dandenongs and adjacent open fields and farms stretching out across the road. In fact, it's hard to believe it's only 30 kms from the CBD. The staff here are always lovely, and more often than not come to my aid when posting a manuscript or music to an awaiting agent. With local knowledge and a love for their community, this post office is sure to send your goods away with care, and send you away with a smile.
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.

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.
