Don't ever use this service and now that I'm reading other reviews I wish I hadn't used it either…read more I paid almost $400 to send a large item to the US on February 25th and was told by Ian at the shop that it would go in the next day and take about 3 days to arrive. I rang on March 2nd to find out when the package was due to arrive since it hadn't arrived and Ian told me it was only sent today. When I told him it wasn't good enough he said they had other issues at the shop preventing him from sending it earlier. It seems from all the other people that have posted negative reviews with a similar experience that these issues are continuous. I will never use Pack and Send again as a result of this experience.

Standing proudly on the corner of King William and Franklin Streets sits the Adelaide GPO Building…read moreand this is another of Adelaide's significant buildings designed by Edmund Wright along with Edward John Woods. Of course today it's the Adelaide head office for Australia Post and inside you can do all the normal post office things like post your letters and parcels, pay bills or organise a passport. Where the GPO now stands has actually been the site of the Adelaide post office since 1851 even though the current building wasn't actually built until the years between 1867 and 1872. It took over 20 years before the clock and bells were installed. There were four bells installed to chime and one to strike on the hour. These are the bells you still hear today when they chime every quarter hour. In 1892 the building was extended to accommodate the recently added telephone exchange and by 1894 a new switchboard was installed. It's incredible to think how technology has changed since the days of the first post office and I have to admit, in this age of electronic and social media I enjoy going into the post office to post some old fashioned snail mail. There's something quaint about it in this day and age and I'd really like to think that a building like this hasn't lost its significance or relevance.

What a curious place is Adelaide with all its history carved in stone. It is a beautiful place in…read moreso many ways, and a savage place in others. A dreadful heat pounding on the land so much of the time, and in the cold weather it is truly a cold place. Much of the stone used to build Adelaide buildings was quarried from the local region. The masonry work done on buildings such as Adelaide's rather large General Post Office is quite fine when you get up close, and the historic interiors are very beautiful with a lot of amazing wood work along with the grand design. Sometimes the actual service can seem just as brutal as the weather when you hear the way non mainstream people are handled, but if you turn a blind eye you can get way with believing this whole city is a beautiful place filled with beautiful people. I say this after hearing an Australia Post worker be so incredibly rude to an Indian customer I thought for a moment I was on Candid Camera; I'm not even going to repeat what she said to the woman it is so rude, but I will say this - these people are so complacent and secure in their job positions they think they rule the world. At the Adelaide GPO I have stood and requested to speak with the manager on duty because I've been mocked by a service provider at the counter. I was handed seventy cents worth of five cent coins once in change, and I requested I be given my change with less coin; the woman behind the counter rolled her eyes at me and huffed and puffed because this meant she had to get some other change for her change drawer. Given her display of ridicule towards me I asked if I may speak to the supervisor or manager on duty; which solicited more eye rolling and puffing and huffing, "Oh you'll have to wait," says she. "That's okay," says I, "I will wait." After about nine minutes a woman came out from the back asking, "What's your problem?" Her attitude was clear - I was the bad guy - there was no doubt she had me pegged as some kind of trouble maker. "I'm not happy with the counter service," I said. "What do you expect me to do about it?" says she. "I'm only coming back here if you guarantee I'll be treated with civility and respect; otherwise I'll be writing a long letter to my local MP," I said. "Right," she says, "that's fair enough," I smiled, "Good, we'll leave it at that then" and I left. Don't let them get away with it say I. If they are rude be quite clear that you want to speak to someone about their rudeness. It is such a beautiful building, it would be a great tragedy if people stopped coming in to it because the staff were so incredibly rude.

If you do not drive but want to get around to some of the more beautiful spots in South Australia…read moreyou are going to end up on a coach (or bus) at some point in time and the chances are it will be a Premier Stateline coach. Say, for example, you want to go visit some place like Victor Harbor down the coast to check out the migrating whales teaching their young to swim. Possibly you want to spend a few days in historic Port Elliot beyond Victor. The only way you are going to get there and back is on one of these coaches. For under $100.00 you can go return down to these destinations, in fact well under that price will see you on a return trip with plenty of change left over for food and maybe even a tip for the driver. Most of the fellows behind the wheels of this service know the areas they are driving through very well, and can answer your questions with ease, but be warned, once you start chatting with them they may not let you stop! The journey from Adelaide down to Goolwa via Victor Harbor and Port Elliot is a long one, and sometimes you may find yourself surrounded by all the local kids if you are travelling on the early morning bus or mid afternoon bus. Don't be afraid to ask them to keep the noise down if they become irritating. There are not a lot of services running, and there are lots of destinations around the state you may wish to visit, so make sure you book in advance and check all the times in order to have a happy trip. The buses leave the city from the unmissable Central Bus Station in between Grote Street and Franklin Street, and although there are other pickup spots in the city this is by far the most reliable; this is also where you can purchase tickets. Other ticket outlets besides the Internet are Willunga (Freight only) at the Caltex Service Station, Victor Harbor's Whyte House Gallery in Stuart Street and Goolwa's Caltex Service Station at 36 Cadell Street where you can also only book Freight.

In terms of a bus service there is many things that are really good about Premier Stateliners. First of all, a couple of years ago they changed their reservation process so you can book a ticket over the phone with a credit card which is so handy. The buses are as comfortable as sitting on as bus for 6 hours can be and are always punctual. Well except for the time we got a flat tire on the Freeway and were sitting there for ages waiting for it to be fixed but I suppose in hindsight that could happen to anyone. The only thing I really hate is how long it takes. Going to Mount Gambier you have to stop so many times for lunch and toilet breaks and then to drop people off and pick them up. It is so tedious, when you know if you were in car you could do it in 4 hours nonstop! But for student concessions the prices are cheap so if you are left with no option, the experience is pretty good.

For some reason this is my local post office I need to go to when I miss my packages in the mail…read more And on account of the fact that I get a lot of packages (not of the herbal remedy kind) I am here almost every second week. Service has continued to decline and staff aren't keen on staying open more than a minute past 5pm so tough luck if you walk in 5 minutes before close to make a transaction! It isn't too busy in the middle of the day though so at least you are able to avoid a long wait and once served are quickly dealt with. There is a particular female staff member who works most days and still refuses to show an interest in her job or providing a warm welcome into the store but I guess I wouldn't be too happy if I worked for the postal service either to be honest...

This Post Shop is pretty small, but has all the packaging you could need, as well as a range of books, DVDs and stationery that you would expect at an Aus Post outlet. For some reason, it's hardly ever busy, which is great when you're in a hurry during a lunch break. I've always found the staff helpful, and they have often given me suggestions for decreasing my postage costs.
