Incidents
- In 2005, newspapers revealed that there were pinhole cameras installed in Cheung Sha Wan Post Office thus violating people's privacy.

- In March 2007, two postmen lost three bags of mails heading to Wan Chai and the Eastern District in the management offices of certain buildings. The Eastern District ( is one of the 18 districts of Hong Kong. Though Hongkong Post eventually found one of the lost bags, it is estimated that about 400 letters were lost. The offices where the mails disappeared are not in the list of official keeping places of mailbags. Therefore, Hongkong Post put the two postmen into disciplinary actions for their ignorance. However, some in the postmen's union said there was little chance for ignorance and it might be a robbery.
