The customer service that I received was stellar. I was surprised, coming from the United States postal service. However, I needed to see 2 different people at 2 different windows because I was sending several large parcels as well as some smaller pieces of mail. Both were quite helpful and friendly, even though I had lots that I needed their help with. I visited during the busy Christmas and holiday season, but the lines were not that bad, and I got all of my business done in a relatively short amount of time. Also, nobody bothered me when I left the large suitcase but I brought all of my packages in on one side of the room underneath the counter. I think that if I was to do something similar in America, some security guard would've come up to hassle me immediately. Hahaha. If you are mailing several large parcels like I was, keep in mind that there is an escalator up to the second floor of this building, so you don't have to lug your burden up the stairs. Happy posting!

Cheap as chips to send air mail back to North America/Western Europe compared to the prices to ship this way and efficient despite the long queues (over 20 minutes at this location). Id'd recommend if you are heading to Kennedy Town to use that Post Office if you can or any place in the Southern District if you are heading that way since the queues are likely to be quite long here.

There is an abundant number of civil servants whisking as the work each window servicing customers, ergo the queue move quickly. There are p.o. boxes for rental available. Shipping materials as boxes are also available. On the lower level is the philatelic shop where visitors can purchase stamps and stamp yearbooks. The philatelic shop is extensive from exquisite, elaborate stamps for collection to the simplest stamps for usage. One word: wow. As philatelist I am enamored and stunned with the extensive selection and elaborate beauty. The staff in the philatelic shop are very professional, and exhibit good customer service and is proficient in Cantonese, Mandarin and English.

In this General Office you can find the most, if not all, services provided by HK Post. As common as posting your Christmas cards, or as obscure as Postal Boxes, this is truly the heart of post service in HK. And indeed, it is located in one of the prime spots in Central, which if it's not the government, the office probably would have located elsewhere. Now why the 3 stars? Because the post offices, General Office included, is the only thing doesn't change in the last two decades. While you can practically use Octopus to pay for anything in town, nope, you have to queue up for stamps, either you'd like to have one or 10 dozens. They do have a machine that accepts coins - who have coins with them in the pocket these days?? So yeah, until they have the following, General Office will stay 3 stars: some electronic scales that calculate stamp fee automagically, a vending machine for stamps (options of 1s or 10s, and in different values maybe?), and a vending machine for envelopes and small standard mailboxes in different sizes. None of these would cost the government any serious money, but none of these would happen any time soon, 'cause otherwise where would we place the abundant number of civil servants?

I had such a hard time finding this place, but it's literally on the 10th floor of the shopping center, Windsor House. I waited on line to buy a stamp, but it wasn't a sticker stamp, so I asked them how to stick it on, and they looked at me like I was stupid LOL. But anyhow, they guided me and let me know I can just drop my postcard in the mailboxes outside. Very clean and spacious post office.

If you haven't been here before, it's a bit hard to find in Windsor. Just follow signs for any elevator that goes to floor 10 and then you'll see it once you leave the elevator hallway.

I am old school that way and believe in putting pen to paper with the written word. I was happy to find a post office in my hood when we recently moved to Sheung Wan. As an English speaking person, I was happy to find all individuals who are working at the post office speak English. They are quite nice really....dealing with those often long lines of people all day, I am glad they all seem quite nice. Avoid the long lines and absolutely do not go around the end or the beginning of the month, where it seems like every 8 out of 10 people in line are there to pay a bill. Horribly convenient if you want to pay a bill (versus on-line I suppose), but horribly inconvenient if like me that you are sending snail mails like birthday cards and postcards back to the US. There are moments when I am here and feel like this is really a bill paying facility that happens to do postage. There is an "express" line if you have 3 bills or less and it is hit or miss if that lane is busy. I also find the post office is the only place that I can spend the abundance of small coinage like 5, 10, 50 cent pieces where they do not look at me in horror when I whip out my change purse. Good way to get rid of the small change we accumulate all too often in Hong Kong.
