Wellesley Street PostShop

It could be pretty easy for the people to work here to be total grumpy bums; after all they spend all day dealing with «the public», and anyone who’s ever done likewise knows that pretty often you’ll have to deal with someone who’s either had a bad day and is taking it out on you, or someone who can’t seem to understand the answers to their questions, or just someone who is a bit disagreeable. However, the staff here are always super friendly, and never mind if you’re just asking about the price of sending a parcel to Northern Canada (as I have done). It is always reasonably busy here, but they helpfully have a poster on the door letting you know when their quieter times are so you can plan accordingly.

This is a busy post office so be prepared to wait in the queue when you get there. However, when I went today, it moved pretty quickly. Though that can often depend on what the customers ahead of you want. It is of course also a Kiwibank, and they have a separate queue for banking customers. But if no one’s in the banking queue they also do post office stuff which is good (and as far as I know, true of all Kiwibank/​NZ Post shops).
What I liked about this particular branch was the the friendly staff; I noticed that a staff member was genuinely interested in talking to another customer in front of me and was very smiley and friendly. So were the other staff. I didn’t have to wait long, the staff member who served me did so efficiently and all was good with the world.
