If you're looking for a Post Office in Newton Mearns, personally I'd avoid this one. I am just not a fan - the queues are horrendous and the staff are a bit grumpy and unhelpful.
Today I was hoping to post a parcel to Australia only to be told after a 10+ minute wait in the queue that I wasn't allowed to post jewellery to Australia. Whaaaaatttttttttt? I have posted literally 100s of parcels to Australia before and have never had this issue. So yeh, I couldn't send my parcel. I found the service to be pretty poor at handling this and thought the staff could have been nicer about it, but maybe they were having a crappy day.
Apparently (after a bit of googling), Royal Mail says you can't post jewellery to Australia but this doesn't actually seem to be mentioned by Australian customs/Australia Post anywhere. So I have no idea where this ridiculous rule came from.
This Post Office is inside the RS McColl store so if you need to buy posting supplies, you need to pay for them at the front counter and then got to the Post Office counter. Personally, I'll be sticking with the Post Office at Harvie Avenue from now on as their service is a lot better. read more
