The overall experience was quite frustrating. I simply wanted to send a Christmas card and purchase a gift card simultaneously. Unfortunately, self-service wasn’t an option for the gift card. The queue was incredibly long, and only one staff member was available until another returned from lunch, taking his time with each customer. Eventually, I gave up and used self-service to buy a stamp. I then inquired downstairs if I could purchase a gift card there but was directed back to the postal service. So, I decided to look elsewhere for the gift card. At least I managed to get my stamp, but I had hoped to send the gift card at the same time. It’s disappointing that there aren’t more staff during peak times.
