Bringing distant people closer together
At Kahibah Local Post Office and Gifts, we believe in bringing community together, no matter how far apart they are. That starts with Kahibah people and businesses, as well as our regional, national and international community.
About Kahibah Local Post Office and Gifts
We are a Family-owned Post Office, and our goal is to be a community centred business providing Australia Post (AP) services, a range of gift and related products and support for businesses using AP, StarTrack and APG (international) sending.
The Kahibah Post Office has been operating in Kahibah since 1923, with horse delivery of mail in the early days. Our shop is a hub for the local community, including parts of the suburbs of Highfields, Charlestown, Whitebridge and Dudley.
We are a franchise of AP, as are about eighty percent of all post offices in Australia. Our license is to use AP systems and products, and through our representative association LPO Group to maintain the services all Australians need.
We offer a full range of services including passport interviews, quality photos for passports and other identity needs, travel related services, bill payment, banking services, a wide range of greeting cards and gift lines as well as packaging needs.
Post Box mail is received each morning, and outgoing mail collected each day currently at about 4:00pm Mon-Friday. We open at 8:30am Mon-Saturday, and close at 5pm most days, 5:30pm on Monday and Thursday, and midday on Saturday. We close Public Holidays.
Express Mail is guaranteed next business day delivery to Newcastle and Sydney

Post Office Boxes
Home isn’t your only delivery address. Get your mail sent to a private address that doesn’t have to change.
We have a range of small, medium, and large PO Boxes available to rent. We can notify you by email when your PO Box has mail. Mail is delivered every weekday and is usually ready for collection by 8:00am.
You might consider renting a PO Box if:
You're not home during the day and want your mail and parcels delivered to a safe place
You want to keep your home address private
You want to keep your online shopping separate from your regular mail
You move regularly and want to keep the same address so you don't risk missing any mail
You share a house and want to keep your mail and parcels seperate from your housemates
If your parcel requires a signature we will put a Parcel Card into your PO Box. Bring the Parcel Card into the Post Office and we will retrieve your parcel (Photo ID may be required to collect parcels).

Frequently Asked Questions
Parcels need a tracking number, look them up on the AusPost web site. The help centre can be contacted on 131318 if you need to speak to someone.
We also recommend the AusPost App as the most trusted, reliable way to manage your parcels.
The AusPost App is available in your Apple or Android store and is the most trusted, reliable way to manage your parcels.
If you were out (or did not answer the door) when the postman came with your parcel the parcel will be brought to a post office - you may have received a Parcel Card though these are rare now. If you are collecting a parcel on behalf of someone else you will need their signed, written authority. You will need your ID (drivers licene or other ID) to collect the parcel.
