Mt Eden Post & Stationers

When I first walked into the Mount Eden Post Shop looking for a birthday card, the first thing I saw was all the overpriced commercial Hallmark cards opposite the magazines. I thought to myself, «why is it so hard to find a card that is different to all of these soppy as cards ‘for her’ that are always covered in flowers and birds», but then I fortunately made the good move of going around the corner to the other side of the shop — I found much more tasteful cards that weren’t pink or purple and covered in sickly sentimental messages. The Mt Eden Post Shop continued to go up in the ranks when I realised how large the range of magazines they had was; definitely much bigger than your average selection at a lot of other post shops and stationary stores. The guy at the counter was super nice and helpful, which I find is definitely a pleasant surprise at a post shop. Definitely would be a regular if I lived in the area.

I always come to this post shop, (my trade me sales go through here) maybe it is because this post shop is small and in the village but it is so much friendlier than any of the other post shops in central Auckland. The four staff that man this post shop are so helpful too. There is a bit of stationary and greeting cards, that sort of thing and an impressive magazine selection so I usually pick my Vogue and Harpers Bazaar (including the international air shipped titles from here). Best post shop ever.
