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.

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...)

This isn't because the service is bad. It's simply because it's tucked away in an obscure corner of a small shopping village. If you want passport photos taken, this is the place to go. You don't necessarily have to make appointments like with the larger shopping centre post office (although the staff would probably still appreciate it if you did make an appointment). There are post office boxes available here as well as travel money services such as American Express travellers cheques, foreign currency, cash passport and money orders. You can also come here to apply for ING DIRECT term depositions applications, 100 point check/ verification and renew a national certificate of competency. This Post office is located behind the main square of the shopping village, in an L shaped block of shops.

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.

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.

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.
