    Post Office at Hong Kong Airport, can send parcels?

    This question is sounding stupider the longer I think about it, but I have to ask. When passing through Hong Kong airport, is it possible to use the Post Office at the airport to send packages (a few items of clothing). Just want to make sure it's not a glorified post box and actually is staffed etc Thanks!

    EDIT: I understand the Post Office is actually outside of departures / arrivals so the person would need a VISA to access it.

    Yes - it is in the Hong Kong landside area (e.g. general public). Its just past the checkin counters close to Popeyes. Its shoved in a corner, very small and easy to miss but it is there!

    Most nationalities can get a visa for a few days at least on arrival.. just telling the truth (that you are going to the post office ) should be fine.

    Most nationalities get a Visa free period for staying in Hong Kong upon arrival.

    It's a huge difference, without a visa you are at the mercy of Immigration officials
    who can send you back and there is nothing you can do about it.
    So if you go to US keep that in mind.
    That's the truth about visa waiver programs.

    As to the post office, check opening hours.
    Had a bad experience in Madrid, but HK should be in line with what one would expect, eg 925
