HKIA Hong Kong Airport - Post Office
Hi All,
I will have a transit through HKIA, I don't know which terminal, but I will have several hours. I'd like to post a small package (not letter envelope) to an address in Hong Kong while I am local.
Is there a post office that will accept small packages? I have looked online and have seen photographs of mail boxes with mail slots, which will be too small.
Also, is there a counter for me to pay for postage? Is credit card accepted as I will not have local HKD.
Many Thanks!

All postal facilities are listed here.
They should accept CC but I know they accept EPS (but my postage usually isn't hundreds of dollars)

Or, s/he can - being from PVG - use RMB to buy something in one of the air/land-side shops and try to get enough change back in HKD to use it to pay for postage.

Thanks everyone for the feedback.
Now replying from HKIA. The post office worked perfect. It's located behind aisle F of Terminal 1 Departures check-in. Accepts cash only (and HKD only, no RMB), where there is an HSBC ATM around the corner.

Hi! I'm planning to post a medium-sized package (a box with shoes actually) from the post office that you've been using in HKIA. Could you advise if this would be possible? I see that you've been successful, but it's not clear from your message whether there is some machine (so only shipments which fit are accepted) or actual people accepting the shipments (so any shipments are accepted). Thanks! Gregory
