It feels weird reviewing and giving 4 stars to a Post Office! But it's the best post office I've…read moreever been to so the review is justified. I felt like I was walking into a post office of the future. It was incredibly advanced and clean, and heaps of bright space unlike the tired looking cluttered space full of junk in other post offices (this one still has the junk that I don't understand why post offices sell but it's neatly stored). There are a range of electronic post options, including a vending machine that sells envelopes and parcel sleeves, a self-posting area which generates postal receipts upon dropping a letter or parcel into the box, and electronic parcel lockers. There's still the traditional staffed counters for those who are scared of the new technology. It would be 5 stars if it's opening hours were better!

All Post Offices are the same, right? NO, NEGATIVE, INCORRECT…read more Let's say it's Friday night and you're struck with the sudden sickening realisation that, oh god, you forgot to post something today, something really important, say, a birthday present for your nephew, or the launch codes to a missile for a mysterious Eastern European buyer. Well now you're screwed, right? You can't post it til Monday, they won't get it til Tuesday, maybe Wednesday. But wait! Salvation is at hand because Milsons Point Post Office is open from 9.30am-1pm on Saturday. Yes, open on Saturday! Grab a coffee, slip out of your hangover and stroll down at your leisure.
