The Gap Post Office has changed hands many times over the years and is one of only three franchised…read morein the local area. And I must say the current owners are the best. The service is swift, knowledgeable and on-point when it comes to seeking the best postage and shipping options for sending around Australia and overseas. The busy nature of this post office, and perhaps most, doesn't afford time for friendly chats or smiles and greetings when it's your turn to be served at the window. But that's okay...you'll get what you came for and that's all that really matters.

Rude, unprofessional staff who do not care. Unable to carry out police check. Unhelpful and…read moreabrasive and on all occasions I have been there, they reject any further enquiries and seem eager to get you out of the store. You can feel the arrogance emanating from the staff. $29.90 is the price for a police check for a volunteer position or $49.90 for a normal check BUT the gap staff refused to listen and tried to charge me $60. I called customer service for the post office and they confirmed that I was right. The gap post office takes pleasure in wasting your time and money. My advice to anyone is to take the next bus to the nearest post office that is NOT the gap's.

If the driver can get out of the vehicle and write a pick up card and put in my letterbox surely he can delliver the parcel. I am in small village with units easy to access. I was home all day so I know he/she did not bother to try and deliver. Not good enough we pay good money for mail to be delivered.

Parking can get crowded at peak times (after school pick up) and you are forced to turn left out of the car park but with a little forward planning it wont mess up your day.

For a local little post office these guys are not too bad, they have a photocopier that is pretty…read morecheap and they communicate really well. The guy that is always there is friendly and helpful, I had a parcel that had to go out that day and he told me the mail trucks pick up times and where to go If I missed the last one so it would still be sent that day, as well as the parcel I was also planning on posting a letter in the mailbox and he noticed I had the wrong stamp on and helped me. They sell weird trinket stuff that I don't think anyone buys, but they have all the bags and boxes and things you would expect. Overall, great little Australia post, nothing fancy, but then... Who needs a fancy post office...?

I run a small business from home and so I have plenty of packages coming in and out of the house…read more Most packages are delivered to me by the Oxley Post Office and all packages I send out are through them as well. As I have been dealing with this post office on a regular basis, they now know what packages to look out for on my behalf. The staff are so attentive and friendly, it makes it very easy to deal with them. The post office itself is quite small, but they do have all the basic postage needs required such as the boxes, packets, sleeves, bubble wrap, envelopes, stamps etc. However, because it is quite small, there normally is only two staff behind the counter and during lunch time is can get quite busy. So be sure to expect this at that time or come earlier or later in the day. Conveniently located next to the Oxley train station and plenty of parking space in the area.

The local post office in the Geebung complex of shop, across the road from the train station is…read moreonly open on weekdays. Typical of suburban post offices! This makes getting to the post office difficult for anyone who works a normal 9-5 job. They are open at 8:30am and close at 5pm each day. Or are they? They don't advertise this, but they are always there from 7am and the door is unlocked but closed. If you need to collect a package or drop something off, they are happy for you to come in early on your way to the train station.

This is a handy post office, kind of out of the way in the city, but if you're down that end of…read moretown, it's great. Mind you, the queue can end up out the door at times, but the same can be said for any post office in the CBD around lunchtime. I came in at about 11:30, and only had one person ahead of me in the queue. I was getting my passport renewed. Note, you must book, but you can do this online. To be honest, I suspect I could have just walked in, but if it's busy, you'll probably get turned away. Anyhow, the photos I'd already gotten were not quite good enough, and the set up here involves a digital camera, so they can keep doing it until it's right, and software that scans the image to give it the nod. It'll tell you why it was rejected too. The young lady served me was very happy and friendly, no complaints there. In the end, it's just a post office, but definitely no complaints.

Mitchelton Post Office is hidden in the IGA complex and is a lot smaller and less modern than the Brookside Australia Post near by. There's no self-serve counters but you have human servers and I suppose they go okay. But like I mentioned, the kicker is I'm yet to stand in a line for more than 5 mins before sending my parcels off on their merry way. Winning!

Well, you haven't met the husband and wife that run the Red Hill Post Office otherwise you'd be nodding your head in absolute understanding when those five bold red stars say this post office is as good as it gets. We've had our post office box with the Red Hill post office for about 18 months and yet to have a drama. We're able to call and chat with the owner to ask if there's any parcels and often if I have to collect something from the early hours door he'll greet me at the door with the parcel without me having to say what box I'm from. SERVICE! Plus, a post office that can lure you with stationery delights as you stand in line is a-ok by me. A note on lines actually. I have no patience for them but even when it's been busy by the Red Hill post office standards the line has, at most, been 4 or 5 deep and seen to quickly. Sure a post office is a post office. But the Red Hill Post Office is what I imagine a local country town post office - one where everyone knows your name.

When did post offices become stationary stores, too? I've been fond of stationary since I was a…read morekid, and like an easily-distracted 5-year-old I could spend quite some time here going over cool notepads, silver-ink pens, diaries and the like if it was socially acceptable. They also have a wide selection of books, puzzles, board games and the sort of items you might find in a toy store or magic shop. Yes, they sell envelopes and all that jazz, but these items are relegated to the back wall. Presumably the cool stuff is there for impulse-buyers or to keep the kids occupied whilst Mum or Dad line up to get their postal needs serviced. However, though Red Hill Post Office is very publicly located, I've never found it to be overly busy. Usually I just walk straight up to the counter. This is certainly unusual for Brisbane's inner-city post offices, particularly Paddington Central Post Office which is perpetually packed; sometimes the line even winds its way outside of the (much larger) store. Red Hill Post Office also offers passport services. It was only recently discovered that not all post offices in Brisbane do this. Arranging it is easy and can be done over the Internet, by phone or via a visit.
