Though NZ Post sought to cut rural deliveries by the same amount, Communications and IT Minister Amy Adams has confirmed that rural deliveries will be maintained at five days. I had to post a letter to someone about a year ago and I found that I was a bit out of touch with how to go about it. Having to venture downtown to buy an envelope and stamp was quite time consuming. It is much easier to press a few buttons on the computer and hey presto the message is gone. Read here (tvnz.co.nz). |

| 1356891 | 2013-10-23 06:55:00 | Would standard parcel post be impacted? If a standard letter or parcel takes 3 days to get to another city (as of now) how would that be affected by this new plan? |

| 1356894 | 2013-10-23 07:57:00 | The only snail mail I get is stuff I don't want - bills | wotz (335) | ||
| 1356895 | 2013-10-23 08:45:00 | Every time I see postie riding past my letterbox without stopping I breathe a sigh of relief. No bills today. | Bobh (5192) | ||
| 1356896 | 2013-10-23 09:38:00 | Same here. I couldn't remember which side of the envelope to stick the stamp on. FWIW I used to be a postie.. even though posties don't actually stick postage stamps on letters, they just sort and deliver the mail. | Webdevguy (17166) | ||

| 1356898 | 2013-10-23 19:31:00 | The only mail I'm currrently waiting on is for my car rego sticker - ordered and paid for on-line. Since investing in a "No advertising material please" sticker the only thing my mailbox does to justify its existence today is to receive the bi-weekly free rag, and those find their way into the recycling bin without having been read. | WalOne (4202) | ||
