| 1325398 | 2013-01-28 23:18:00 | I would have thought that reducing delivery frequency would reduce usage even further. If know you can't get things (eg concert tickets) next day, you'd opt to pick them up instead. | Zara Baxter (16260) | ||
| 1325399 | 2013-01-28 23:33:00 | I'd agree with that. They should focus more on parcel shipping & Priority mail, eg for regular trademe people eg for $100 a month you could send up to 30 items under 1.5kg/30x30x30cm or for tickets, or have cut price priority mail for tickets/other documents where you pick up from the post shop as opposed to waiting for it to be delivered. | The Error Guy (14052) | ||

Unless they have very innovative and strong leadership, few organisations that have practically had a monopoly for so many years seem to be unable to adapt quickly enough. |

If know you can't get things (eg concert tickets) next day, you'd opt to pick them up instead. That's a good point. If they do that they may well just make jobs for other courier companies and end up in a worse position. If letters are going by the wayside, maybe they should focus on parcels, make their service more attractive so more people use it. I like using NZ Post for parcels as they are one of the most reliable in my experience. I would hate to see them go. |

| 1325404 | 2013-01-29 01:11:00 | The amount of parcels being shipped is probably increasing at the same rate as letters are dropping because of people buying so much more stuff over the internet. They need to focus more on parcels than letters. | jonovw (16835) | ||
