| 1356899 | 2013-10-23 19:34:00 | We use a post box so hopefully they will still be 5 ~ 6 days a week. I was never a fan of getting bills in the letterbox 6 days a week though.. | paulw (1826) | ||
| 1356900 | 2013-10-23 19:54:00 | NZ Post say that Fast Post will still be 6 days per week. So from 2015 we must all send mail by Fast Post to help keep the posties in a job! Many folk only send at maximum one letter a month so the extra personal cost won't be a burden. But if every letter is Fast Post they'll have to deliver all 6 days. Maybe it's all a ploy by NZ Post to effectively double the cost of posting a letter while keeping all staff in their jobs! | coldot (6847) | ||
| 1356901 | 2013-10-23 20:08:00 | The only mail I have sent over the last couple of years via snailmail has been returning census, voting, Council forms, and medical sample packs. Govt, Council stuff and junk mail make up the inwards content. If the service ceases I could not care less, except for the fact that some quite good people will lose their jobs. Perhaps the Govt. will sell off NZPost and buy themselves an extra 3 seconds of Parliamentary Pensions with the proceeds? |

| 1356903 | 2013-10-24 03:49:00 | Well I have adopted a zero mail policy and just about there. The only 2 that cannot get damn well get stopped to date is Visa and CRT (even though they email the monthly account!). It is brilliant as everything goes into OneNote from the emails - very easy to find stuff too! Incidentally am ancient - 70+ |

| 1356904 | 2013-10-24 08:02:00 | I can't see that reducing delivery to 3 days a week is going to cause any great hardship to people (except for the posties losing their jobs), even to those "old ones" who are not computer literate. | Terry Porritt (14) | ||
| 1356905 | 2013-10-25 00:01:00 | I can see that the cutting down of the mail delivery service from six days a week to three days a week will be of little consequence to most urban dwellers. The snail mail might be delayed by another day. There is still a place for snail mail but there are quicker ways of communicating these days for example couriers, DX Mail, phone, text messaging or email even. | Bobh (5192) | ||
| 1356906 | 2013-10-25 03:07:00 | Couriers, DX Mail may be quicker but cost more.. | paulw (1826) | ||
