This is the most efficiently run post office I've ever been in. It was only a few days before…read moreChristmas, lines were long, but they had employees coming thru the line asking what you were there for to expedite the line. Everyone was so friendly and helpful There was also a sweet woman at the front of the line to direct you to the next available counter for service. While my friend was in line to mail his holiday cards and packages, I wondered around to look at the last minute gift ideas they had available in the store. My friend also picked up some beautiful cards he just couldn't live without. We will definitely be back. Lots of cute gift ideas- both for yourself and others. I was especially drawn to the adorable doggy doorstop. What a perfect gift for my dog loving friends who already have everything... except this.

It's really getting there. The tech stuff, the concierge. For local post including packages and…read morepurchased, you can self serve. Very easy guided system. At really peak times, the concierge will accept small change for those buying single stamps. Unfortunately, all overseas mail still has to be counter service. Passport processing here but you must make a booking. All tax forms here too. A few gift items available, and the full stock of all swatches, boxes and prepaid stuffs in their range. If you're a visitor to Brisbane, it is one of the historic buildings to see and is right opposite both the city circle bus {free} and the tour bus {open top deck}. Here is where you can also access all the current stamps and coins if you are a collector. Take care, no photos are permitted inside.

Brisbane GPO occupies a nice old building and (theoretically) provides a large range of…read moreservices.... But: the queues are extremely long, especially at workday lunchtime. Allow at least half an hour to get to the counter. The staff also varies drastically, from polite and helpful to downright rude and clueless. A few times Brisbane GPO staff make mistakes or provided incorrect information, which cost me extra time and money, and I had to make another trip to a different post office to fix their errors. On several occasions I witnessed or was the subject of rudeness, bullying and inappropriate behaviour from GPO staff, each time from mature female employees. Not sure whether that was bad luck, or some toxic culture within this GPO makes older females feel the need to assert themselves or vent their frustration by bullying younger customers. Considering that for some services like PO boxes GPO charges nearly twice the price compared to a normal post office, from now on I will rather support my local post office where I am always treated well and never had to deal with mistakes made by the staff. The convenience of central city location of this GPO is not worth the chance of facing another error or unpleasant human interaction.

Staff may not always be particularly friendly unless you're a regular customer, but they are very…read moreefficient, and manage to sort through quite long lines very quickly. As with all post offices, there's a lot of weird gift things, which seem to be quite expensive for what they are, but I suppose someone must buy them, or they wouldn't have them. In this day of "do everything on the internet", it's good to know how useful Post Offices are (and probably good to know now, so you'll know where to go when your computer/internet breaks...)
