Postal Office "The Pride of French Polynesia". Here is a video of a postal office in French Polynesia. The OPT is in charge of all postal offices on the islands. The amazing men & women at OPT are working hard to make French Polynesia the best postal in the world. We are very proud of them as they continue to serviced customers around the world.
(Above) A typical post office in French Polynesia.
(Below) This is Heirava Tuhei working at the front desk part time & is a university student full time.
(Above) This is Jerry, we don't know his last name. He's a Clerk & worked there for many years.
(Below) This is Vaiarii Helme. She works in Customer Service and is a Manager Assistant.
Working at the post office there is relaxing due to short hours with plenty of employees. However, the office is usually busy whenever a new stamp is issued. The OPT send out free newsletter to all stamp collectors prior the release of a new stamp.
Each year, the OPT held a meeting to discuss various of issues regarding postal services & stamps. The meeting is closed to the public. Only OPT senior staff and government officials are invited. The result of their meeting are posted on their OPT website so people can read the report (French written). Below, are some photos of a OPT meeting.
OPT is a government organization. They are very active networking with postal offices around the world especially with Pacific Ocean area. OPT is also active with their own employees by hosting many activities & programs for their family.

In conclusion, OPT (Office des Postes et Télécommunication) is very similar to Philatelic Center of French Polynesia (Centre philatélique de la Polynésie française). Both organizations are very active promoting stamp hobby and providing excellent customer service. We have gotten to know some of their Officials over the years. Our French Polynesian Stamp Club purchased all the stamps from them and never with dealers.
We are very lucky to have OPT & Philatelic Center of French Polynesia. They are the strength of French Polynesia, the greatest stamp nation in the world.
