Australia Post - Templestowe Heights LPO

Hard to find a decent post office after the brains department at Aus Post foolishly closed my usual one down. Then I found this one which is great. Quick efficient service, never any mistakes, helpful staff. And open Saturday mornings too which is convenient and a bonus. So why are so many others around that are just lousy? Look to this PO Aus Post if you want to know how it's supposed to be done.

You have mentioned here that you’re open till 1:00pm on Saturdays. Arrived at 12:45 today and surprisingly saw that you closed at 12:30. You truly wasted my time as I drove 14km to get there. Be organized and respect your customers. Update TIMETABLE HERE!!!

Post Office in the small Macedon Square Shopping precinct. The store seems small but it's actually a decent size being a long narrow building. It's quite jam packed inside with a range of stuff, like most Post Offices nowadays, which have nothing to do with the Postal Service. Toys, games, gadgets etc. There is a full range of traditional Postal items like envelopes, packets, boxes and tubes etc for packaging. I've always found the staff helpful and friendly when I've had business there.

It’s a post office.nnEvery time I go, there is usually a long line of people. But the staff are very quick. They are also very kind, professional and will answer any question you have.nnYou can buy postal packaging there and there is an area for you to be able to write things down or prepare something before you send it off.

Generally good service except lack of communication with post parcel weigh-ins. eg. if the parcel contents weigh-in just over 2kg, an item can be removed to save hefty international postage prices. Heads up please, next time.
