Building was constructed during british era . But it is beautifully maintained. Staff is cooperative. I was shocked when my courier postal luggage reached at destination faster than TCS and DHL
Goes various time, if you fail to pay your utility bills and got last date of paying bill you hve time to pay 11.00 PM every day.
Ppls can visit to gpo for paying their bills. at last date it received bills upto 11:45pm.
Still one of the best Government organisation. Better than expensive courier companies
GPO is main office of Pakistan Post. Building is old fashioned. Services are good and comparatively less expensive.
Its lovely building very organised and systematic working. The post process was very smooth and staff was very good. Building is so neat and clean. Please support Pakistan Post and use it they provide multiple services and are very efficient
Brilliant peace of architecture from history.However about people in GPO are almost cooperative if you cooperate with them here there are all types of offices related about Post office in ancient times it has too much importance but as of now people use it also but not like previously there are almost offices of provincial level where one could reslove his/her matters. GPO is too much awesome due to its historical importance and also it is located on historical route (Mall road) where almost all historical structures are located however it has its own appearance in this route. Some people just visit it just for enjoyment because it has a historical background and outlook also. On the other side of GPO theres PLI building related for peoples insurance mainly for govt employees havingGroup Insurance from whole province. There is a mosque also for religious prayers. It also has public toilets. The GPO tower has its own Granger from outside and inside as well as. Theres parking facility also here
Its good but the workers behavior is not soo good
Tidy, Maintained, Useful, Accessable etc
Pakistans own Post office. Very beautiful building. Lovely.
The GPO Lahore is the main post office in Lahore, Pakistan. Located at GPO Chowk on Mall Road (Shahrah-e-Quaid-e-Azam) near Anarkali, the GPO is Pakistans largest.It was built in 1887 to commemorate Queen Victorias Golden Jubilee and replaced the telegraph office of Anarkali Bazar.The building was designed and built by Sir Ganga Ram, one of the leading architects of that time and was built near the shrine of the 17th century saint Shah Chiragh.It was the first British era building to be conserved in the city. The building consists of two main halls and two minarets.
My visit was about a parcel from China, got proper response from the staff, beside system is not up to date but they guided me well enough to get the information which I was seeking. Building exterior is extra ordinary fascinating, may be because I like old architecture. Anyhow overall a satisfactory visit.
The Pakistan Post Office without any notice has increased the rates of parcels, COD charges and VPP. These rates are almost equivalent to private courier companies. The private sector is giving 100 times better service as compared to Pakistan Post. The boxes made by the Pakistan Post are of inferior quality. Now in this era Pakistan Post is unable to provide facilities to the customers. It is running on the same pattern as the government institutions used to run. The people have to wait for hours and hours in the queue to wait for their turn. Lack of staff is commonly seen.Staff is rude and there is no check on them. No modern techniques have been adopted to track the post. Shortage of post men is a major issue. Same traditional methods of sealing the documents and parcels are being observed. It means that post office staff is dishonest. How the private sector take the goods safely without sealing the parcels. No action is taken on the hue and cry of the public. Now the public who is aware of the rates of the courier companies have shifted to them because rates have almost reached the rates of private companies.There are no seating arrangements in the post offices. Some post offices give a look of garbage house. What the hell it is? The senior officers are relax and take sunbath in the winters. Do not listen to the complaints nor give suggestions to their seniors to improve the conditions of the post offices. Many post offices do not accept the heavy parcels as the staff is unable to deliver the good to the head office. They have no conveyance to take the parcels to the head post office. The public at large is facing problems with the behavior of the staff and increase in shipment cost but the government is unaware of such problems.
Good place
We posted post cards back home to the UK. They arrived within 2 weeks. Helpful friendly staff pointed us to which desks/booths we should go too.
It’s a historical architecture which was designed by Sir Ganga Ram during British India, initially a telegraph office but now country’s biggest post office. It has a special commemorative stamp section in there too. Make sure to take a copy of CNIC if you’re sending something abroad, otherwise they won’t let you send it.If you get something imported from abroad, then expect to pay heavy custom duty on it. Anything with an IMEI no. requires an NOC from PTA which you can obtain from them for a fee. On top of that you’ll also need to pay steep custom duty to the post office. The staff is ok if not great.There is literally no parking outside the office, and you’ll need to find it nearby somewhere.
It is located on mall road. The buildind in red color having an amazing architecture.
The General Post Office (abbreviated: GPO) is the main post office in Lahore, Pakistan. Located at GPO Chowk on Mall Road (Shahrah-e-Quaid-e-Azam) near Anarkali, the GPO is Pakistans largest. On average, it handles 20,000 pieces of mail per day.It was built in 1887 to commemorate Queen Victorias Golden Jubilee[3] and replaced the telegraph office of Anarkali Bazar. The building was designed and built by Sir Ganga Ram, one of the leading architects of that time, and was built near the shrine of the 17th century saint Shah Chiragh.
The most corrupt department in Pakistan. They charge 4x more custom duty money than the value written on parcel.
Staff is very helpful. Cheaper rates even for international couriers.
Staff is rude and not cooperative. They seem to not wanna work. They dont seem sincere with their work. Id say the biggest flaw of this post office is this. Otherwise, building is spacious and good. Theyve resources. Theyre slow, for sure. Dont expect quick deliveries. 4/10.
Excellent service for sending parcels abroad.

A good place to send parcels all over the world. The staff is unexpectedly co-operative not really what you expect from a govt. operated office. And at Super cheap prices!!
Love the traditional style of chaos, buzz, piles of paper and files, immense work load and warmth of the staff of GPO LAHORE. Pure nostalgia!
Its a central post office in Lahore. Its building is beautiful and historical. It has historical view also. Providing post services like letters, parcels, money order, utility bills, E funds transfer etc.

The renovation work started in 1984 and continued for a number of years under the guidance and supervision of Renowned architect Mrs. Yasmeen Lari.Photographs By Ali Babar
Good and old architecture. Staff is not good and very time consuming if your parcel has stuck in custom. Huge taxes on mobile devices.

Never send any mobile phone from outside of country,5000Rs Tax + 48 days (instead sent through urgent delivery service), nothing centralized. 3 personal visits to GPO.After 48 days , received item. Totally unprofessional system in technological 21st century
A histroic building. Indeed a manifest of the ancient civilized Lahore Metropolis. Built by the British Raj in 1887. The architecture was given by the then famous architect Sir Ganga Ram. Its recognized by as a heritage site located at the GPO chowk on The Mall. The building is currently the property of Pakistan Post.
Good service
Historic building. Great architecture.
Historical building, of GPO which is headoffice of GPO, excellent services and fast delivery and customer services, best among all govt departments
Customs clearance staff rude behavior as I had to get cleared one smart watch purchased through Ali Express but they took 3 months and then finally rejected my claim saying that you need to get NOC from PTA whereas PTA had already denied to give NOC becoz Ali Express is not registered with them. I showed them all supporting documents but in vain
Historic place and a must see attraction in the city
Superb building. Enough space for parking
An iconic building and a part of Pakistani history.
Genius mindset with genius skills set.
