  I had a good experience at this post office. No clue how I ended up in a box in Sri Lanka, though.

  Staff and service SUCKS!!! Worst service ever I had on a local post office, they posted notice on every wall to not to use phones inside office, But even in office hour they are using their phones inside the foreign parcels section without doing the job they should. Authorities should take actions agains this.

  This office located at Kandy main office
  Sri Lanka Posts has been in existence for more than 209 years and employs more than 17,000 employees in various positions. We are one of the oldest Government departments in existence today. We are proud of our history and heritage.
  
  Sri Lanka Posts has a long history of 209 years, dating back to 1798 when the Colonial Dutch rulers started five post offices in the Maritime Districts that were under their control and in 1799 they published of first ever postal regulations and postage rates. The “East-India Company” operated the Postal service the Dutch started and was not meant for the public but for official use. There is not much material to say anything more of the period 1798 to 1815.
  
  In 1815, the British took control of the country. They re-organized the postal service and a permanent Post Office was established in Colombo in 1882. The first Post Master General of Ceylon was Mr. A. Kennedy an Air Army Officer. However as far back as 1815 there has been Post Master Generals’; Mr. E. Bletterman was the PMG for the whole island. Thereafter in 1817 Mr. Lewis Sansoni succeeded Mr. Bletterman as the second Postmaster General. The third Postmaster General was Major. G. Stewart and during his period he was instrumental in extending the postal services to major towns in the country. Ceylon Post and Telecommunications Department as it was known then has many a first to its credit.
  
  We were the first to inaugurate a mail coach service in Asia; between Colombo and Kandy the service began operations in 1832 and in 1838 another mail coach service was started between Galle and Colombo

  Friendly staff and offering various kinds of services including paying bills, sending letters, photocipying, binding and so on. Ample parking is available. This place has an internet cafe too which charges lower rates than the other cafes in the area. Even the place is well maintained.

  This is a typical Sri Lankan post office, don't expect top class service. But unlike other post offices, staff in this post office very friendly and helpful. This place is open on Sunday, but some services are not available.

  Good. to the best of my knowledge they are opened till 6pm. If you want to send registered posts you have to get things done before 3pm otherwise it will be sent on next shift (day after). They have a internet cafe also. Additionally, provides printout, photocopying facility, fax, downloads, scans, and has a place that sells all related things such as envelops, coverings etc including gift cards.
