Not competent staff. Everything takes 3 goes with them before it is completed. They don't tell you…read morefrom the start what you need to bring to get the parcel or lodge your passport. They only tell you once you realize something is missing. I've even taken my passport application there asking them to check and see what I need to bring the next day when I come with my kid to lodge it and they looked and said all good. Then next day as they went through the application they kept saying this is missing and sent me home to get the paperwork. Then went through the rest of the application and said now this bit is missing too, another trip home and back 3rd time. I asked them each time before left for home to make sure there is nothing else they require and the staff said no all good. Then they go through the application and say also I need to see this or that.

I am forced to go to this post office because my local is too small to take parcels. I dislike…read moregoing to Alexandria Post Shop because the staff are rude and unhelpful. Contrary to the other review on this site, the staff at Alexandria Post Office refuse to sign forms in lieu of a JP.

An online shopping binge led me to spend rather a lot of time in the Strawberry Hills Post Office…read moreparcel pick-up line. One great thing about Strawberry Hills is the package pick-up has super long hours... (the hours are different to the Post Office itself.) I can't remember exactly, but the package pick-up counter may open as early as 6.15am and close at 5.15pm. Nice. Also, the back-of-house staff (who handle the package queue) are very friendly, so the whole experience of picking up a parcel is more enjoyable than you might anticipate. As for the inside of the Post Office itself: it's the usual ... yes, you have to wait in long queues, and yes, the staff inside are a bit stern.

Whatever they're paying him, it should be more! He must have worked for a five star hotel or some such before this job. Excellent way to keep the queue down.

This is one of the few post offices in Sydney without massive queues…read more Well, maybe I just got lucky on the days I've visited, but this little PO does seem quieter than most. That said, when I went to renew my passport, the staff did not fill me with confidence that they knew what they were doing. I had all my forms ready, and they said I'd have to make an appointment with the Department of Immigration first. Given this was an Australian Passport renewal, I thought that was rather odd. Anyway, I won't bore you with the details: the important thing for anyone to know about a Post Office: this one is not too busy! Bonza.
