I called the phone number attached to this business 3 times to avoid leaving my home during the COVID-19 outbreak, each time it rings out to an unprofessional voicemail of static. I go in 10 minutes later to see 3 staff members sitting around talking. When i advise the of their phone number not working they said "during this time we don't answer the phone call the customer support line if you have questions" what ever that is supposed to mean. I called it to show them while i was there and heard no ringing. He then proceeded to talk over me and berate me infront of other people in the shop which had then become busy. Now more than ever this post office should be answering the phone avoid people leaving isolation unnecessarily like i did when the answer is a quick yes or no. They proceeded to take my drivers license without gloves. Their willful laziness and general lack of customer service is putting public health at risk.

Auspost East Brisbane calls today to ask if we can pick up the delivery they failed to deliver. (like they do with every delivery. Why is it that Australia Post doesn’t deliver but just leaves a note in the mailbox, even if someone is home!!!? they don’t even attempt anymore. Just put the note in the mailbox, even though there is a doorbell RIGHT NEXT TO THE MAILBOX. Then they have the nerve to call and ask if we can pick it up from the post office as they have too many parcels there. Terrible service... why pay for delivery if they don’t deliver? Amazon or any other delivery service stop and ring the bell and “DELIVER” the parcel. Unless you are sitting on a chair outside, next to the mailbox for days waiting for the delivery, you won't get it.

  • Samantha Evans

I am fed up with this service. I deliberately had this sent to my work address - instead of my home address because i DONT have time to go and pick up parcels. SO WHY DO YOU NOT DELIVER!!! You just take it straight to the local post office. I have a receptionist who said no one has attempted delivery. There is always someone available and we have a delivery zone which fits multiple cars out the front so it's pure laziness. This is the second time this has happened so this postal driver needs a talking to. Also my workplace has a po box redirect so it shouldn't be going to east brisbane LPO anyway, it should go to Fortitude valley and then at least someone would collect this for me. What a joke, Disgusting service.

  • Michael Secker

Received a message that my parcel was delivered to this post office and that I had two weeks to collect. After only a few days and having to go during lunch at work due to the opening hours - I found they had returned the parcel to sender. This was an urgent delivery for which I paid express delivery for. Instead of holding onto the parcel for a few days in line with Australia Post's text message they sent it back across several states. The lack of common sense is incredible. The situation could have been avoided either by phoning me as my number was linked to the delivery, or by simply doing nothing. Very unhappy with the service.

  • Susannah Johnson

Terrible opening hours make it impossible to collect parcels if you work. If you redirect to another post office that is actually open outside of 9-5 m-f, auspost charge you over $7 for each parcel. If you contact aus post they are unhelpful and just repeat genetic statements at you. If you try to use a parcel locker as an alternative, they’ll still take it to this post office and accuse you of redirecting it there (even with screenshots showing the parcel locker was selected). If you live in this area, recommend using an alternative courier / delivery service even if it’s more expensive - it’ll ultimately save you time and money .

  • Krystyna Kozak

This is an edited review. I love this post office, the guys are helpful & lovely, the new location is easily accessible and its in a brand new suite. I say edited because I had a very different review after 1 of my visits 12months ago (Good to remember we all have bad days). 12 months later, my experiences with these guys have totally changed in such a positive way. They are great to deal with and I highly recommend them. Thanks Guys. See you soon :-)

  • Adam Street

Worst postal service ever. How can a post office only be open Mon-Fri 9-5 in 2019. Really helpful for anyone who actually has a job. Its amazing that every package I have ever had go through here has never been able to be delivered. When every other company somehow manages to. Anyone would think they dont bother. Anyway, back to my review. Never answer phone, rude people. Problem is you cant avoid them and they know it so they dont intend to improve.

  • chrissie richardson

I am putting in this review as I agree with Jessica.. This is a no frills post office and doesn't pretend to be anything else.. I go there when my parcels are sent there , despite my instructions to have them left at my door, so I am always a bit grumpy seeing that online shopping always means a trip to the post office. I have always found the men to be efficient. They cope well with the rude and sometimes racist people served before me.

  • James Tilley

Why are the delivery drivers so lazy? 4 times in a month they have not attempted to deliver my parcel, on 2 occasions not even a pick up card was left. I had to call and find out if it was there. Like all you have to do is push an intercom button. Most people are home because of covid19. I have seen with my own eyes drivers just put a card in a letter box and not even bother opening the van to get the package.

  • Sarah Lee

I’ve been going to this post office and interacting with the twins who own it for over 6 years - they are always super respectful, friendly and knowledgeable. For the people complaining about 9-5 hours, if you just looked to the right of the shop you would see that they allow early pick up, so just stop in on your way to work or get a free parcel locker if it bothers you so much.

  • Gay Whitfield

On the phone right now trying to contact these people re my parcel. They refuse to pick up. No other means of communication. What happens to my parcel now?? Please open on a weekend for a couple of hours. TO AUSTRALIA POST: if this franchise refuses to open weekends then please consider the Gabba PO as a drop off point. My address is Kangaroo Point so still within the area.

  • Yinzhu Quan

It has been a difficult year for you guys. I can't speak for others but my interaction with you guys in the last 2 years has been outstanding. You are always professional and efficient and I have always been greeted with a big smile with all staff when I go in there, no matter how busy you are. Thanks for staying strong for yhe community and all the best for the new year.

  • Arty

Useless. I redirected 2 parcels here to make it more convenient. It did the opposite, they almost returned one back to sender, lost the other and claimed it was in Transit for 2 days, until I rocked up and made them look for it, only to hand me a parcel that looked like it was trampled in a stampede, needless to say my item was damaged and didn't work.

  • Victoria Renroh

Found a reminder, went to urgent stage , wasn't aware, immediately tried to call this post office.... @ 20mins to 5pm ........................................................................3 times I rang..........nothing. thanks. i needed to make sure this wasn't returned to sender and due to time could only call. thanks for not picking up.

  • Jesse

Extremely poor service. Said they were open and when I arrived they were closed. When ever I’ve tried to call they don’t answer. Uncomfortable feeling every time I go in, usually some very elderly man standing behind the counter doing nothing staring at every customer whilst a young man with poor customer service serves. Wouldn’t recommend

  • Samantha Bryant

I have had nothing but exceptional service here. Never experienced any rudeness. I have seen them in action when it’s busy and they treat people with respect and are always helpful. East Brisbane is lucky to have these guys running this post office, they are knowledgeable and easy to communicate with. Great work guys, keep it up! …

  • Will Woodgate

Polite and efficient when in the store in my experience of picking up multiple parcels. However, 1 star for not being open on weekends or outside of business hours (9-5) and for never answering a phone call in over 1 year to inquire about left parcels or having a message service. Just don't have a phone number in that case.

  • Tran Nguyen

Absolutely the worst customer service ever. Very dismissive. Repeatedly walked away while mid-question. Run by two ignorant asian men Ken and Lou who convienently feign the inability to speak english when confronted with a difficult question.. IF YOU CANT SPEAK ENGLISH THEN HOW ARE YOU RUNNING AN AUSTRALIAN POST OFFICE??!!

  • Ben Williams

Who ever delivers parcels is so lazy, I’ve had multiple parcels from this post office with no attempt at delivery. They just take them back to base. This post office isn’t even open Saturday’s to collect the parcels. At least send them to Woolloongabba which is open on a Saturday. Horrible service!!

  • V U

It is seriously ridiculous. Don’t waste your time. I live in Kangaroo Point and I wish I could get my parcels from the AP Woolloongabba. Lazy staff and they never answer their calls. If you don’t have to go the AP East Brisbane, please DON’T. I’ve had negative experiences there multiple times.

  • imnoton mail

Third time Australia Post can't find my address? Funny, Fastways can, Couriers please can, but not Australia post. The delivery team lie, always state "Delivery attempted" or "Incorrect Address" ?? Its Main St, with my number in 60cm Black Font on my door. I hid street no# from Pic

  • Thomas C

As they only operate 9-5 Mon - Fri, It is very difficult to use this Post Office if you work full time hours. Other then opening hours, they will also not answer calls. Suggestion: Open for 2 hours on a weekend, or late one night per week so more residents can access the services.

  • Arthur Finkler Freiberger

The two fellas working here are legends! They always take really good care of all my parcels, and promptly answer to either calls or quick collection visits! They know a lot about how their system work, and are able to advise you when sending parcels within Australia or overseas.

  • callum jubb

Honestly an utter joke of a post office, avoid at all costs. Go to another one, any one: they never have stock always long waits, no car parks. Literally every aspect from service to efficiency to stock control is utterly unpredictable, unprepared and unprofessional.

  • Jenko Jenko

Knowledgeable operators with cost focus service. Lou did a great job helping us out with strict requirement Gov docs. Much appreciated. Upon reading other reviews, it’s clear people have unrealistic expectations of a branch when Aus post is a much bigger interest.

  • Ann Aboslon

Australia Post - WHAT A JOKE! Franchised out, business run by people who don't understand what you are saying to them! East Brisbane Post Office is an absolute disgrace. Can't find a parcel, everything is all over the place, no systems in place. Complete idiots.

  • Kate B

East Brisbane post office has been my local for nearly 15 years and throughout that entire time, I absolutely cannot fault them. Always greeted with a warm, friendly smile, and the service is above and beyond. Thanks team EBPO, it’s a joy coming into your store.

  • Jessica McDonald

I am absolutely appalled by some of the reviews, as a society when did we get so entitled, demanding and intolerant? This post office delivers what you need in an efficient manner... Reasonable service and the men are knowledgable about the post system.

  • Garry Hazard Curtis

Great team! Have wonderful humor (referring to me in a t-shirt and shorts and its 10 degrees ) as even though I work from home I am able to got down before they open through the corridor on the right and pick up my par els before they

  • Victoria Hampton

Erratic hours (have been to post items at 4pm on week days to find store closed), don't answer the phone (couldn't attend due to isolation and didn't want packages returned), send reminders to collect items that have been collected days

  • Kym Lindsay

I have had a couple of items to be dropped at the door , and after waiting majority of the day , find a parcel card placed in my letter box and not delivered to my door as instructed . Not a great service at the Manila st Post Office .

  • Vance J

Only open 9am-5pm, Monday to Friday and closed on the weekends. Which gives no time for people who also work at those times to pick up parcels. Very unreasonable. One day of early morning or late evening pickup is all that is required.

  • PoLiGaDeS

Very rude staff. I don't recommend to go to this post office unless if you need to pick up a parcel. Their English is very bad and I don't understand why an Australian company is managed by people with poor English and rude manners.

  • Ben Jackson

Terrible hours....closes early through the week and not open on Saturday mornings. Set the local post office for your address to the one in Wooloongabba if you live in the area...more accessible for mail collection, if needed.

  • Thalita Pinheiro

They never deliver my orders, they always say that there is no one at home, even though there is always reception available in the building. And the service at the unit is very bad, they are not at all friendly and helpful.

  • Broken Toaster Oven

Absolutely awful. I'd rather end my own life than ever visit here again. They just randomly change the hours, and there's no guarantee, hope, or chance you'll get there in time to get anything done. Avoid at all costs!

  • R V

They staff could do with smiling now and then, and can be pretty blunt and not overly helpful. Pretty much a useable service, but I’d recommend going to Woolloongabba LPO in Gabba Central far above this LPO.

  • wayne jean

The twins are good guys. Polite and knowledgable. Cheers! Post office moved 500 odd meters down the road 58a Manilla street after the IGA and around the corner. Awesome new set up. Simple, clean and easy

  • Chris Wilson

Friendly and knowledgable staff, quick and efficient service. Handy to have just around the corner from my house for picking up and sending off parcels. Everything that a post office should be.

  • Patrick Deschambault

By seeing all those review, I was not sure if it would be a good idea to go there. However, I still post a package and the two guys are professional and are, in my point of view, not the worst.

  • Dave

They are good and diligent people. They work from 7AM to 5Pm. I'm very pleased with the customer service. Only downsize is limited parking spaces but I understand that is beyond their control.

  • Madaleine Kentwell

Never deliver parcels even when someone is home to collect. Have had items go missing or returned. They don't even bother leaving sorry we missed you cards. Horrendous opening hours.

  • Malcolm Smith

I needed $20 worth of 10c or 20c stamps. They had none, so I had to drive to New Farm LPO. Just not good enough given Austpost is a monopoly and I can't buy stamps elsewhere.

  • Amanda-Jayne Noble

They don't smile much but the brothers are helpful and super good at what they do. I like them. The shop is new and clean. Great little place and adds well to the community.

  • Rory Danagher

It's genuinely baffling how a post office can only be open 9-5 and not on weekends... how is a full-time working person supposed to pick up a package? Outrageous.

  • K C

Super friendly service! Very knowledgeable and helpful. Look past the grumpy faces as I think they were born with it. Really nice folks once you get to know them.

  • james lisa

Absolute rubbish.. Never answer calls. Now parcel will be sent back to sender. Never received a card and got the urgent which left me with no chance to collect..

  • J Pobar

package i ordered (and paid express post for) was not delivered and was not able to contact them despite ringing numerous times. 1/5 is too generous of a rating.

  • Zachary Murray

It's a functional, no-frills post office. I like the two guys who work here and I never have to wait very long. They also have tons of PO boxes if you need them.

  • hayley finch

Would recommend never going to this post office. They lost my 150$ package, never answer their phone and were entirely unwilling to help, offering no solution.

  • Janita Dal Cin

Handy little post office in a convenient location. The team are friendly and helpful and making sure they find your package quickly and send efficiently too.

  • S Se

They only open during business hours and sorry to say but it is too difficult to understand what they say. Think twice before you get a PO Box in this office

  • Xave Wise

Excellent customer service, a great family owned and operated business. Have been using east Brisbane post office for many years and will continue to do so.

  • Barb Ryan

Trying to call all day Friday about a parcel pick up, no one answered all day. I work 9-5 Mon To Fri , and it's not opened Saturday. Annoying!!

  • Titi Ngoc Mai Tran

So inconvenient to pick up a parcel. How can a post office only open from 9-5pm during work hours and expect someone to pick up their parcel.

  • J Laidbak

Worst service ever - poor, 3rd world level delivery. 50/50 if your packages get delivered. They never answer the phone to allow follow-up.

  • Kirill Vaynberg

I wish I could tell Au Post to never send my parcels here. Further from my home than another LPO, and hours of operation are ridiculous.

  • shaun wooden

Terrible hours, if we’re working business hours how are we suppose to get to a post office between business hours…. Super frustrating

  • Henry Winkler

If I could have give NO STARS I would! They are the most incompetent bunch of people I have had the displeasure of dealing with.

  • Marco

Worst post office I've ever seen anywhere in the world. Please shut them down, I'd rather go pick up my mail at the Central GPO

  • Iain Brock

The most ridiculous opening hours. Even if it was open until 6 one night a week it would be orders of magnitude better

They don't answer the phone! So frustrating, just get rid of the phone number if you are never going to answer...
