“I think it is silly. We have to wait about five business days to receive overseas mail, so if that is dropped to three days, it will be hectic.”
“I think it is stupid. We could end up paying bills late, as we may not receive them on time.”
“I have no issue with that, most of the bills and correspondence I receive are electronic. Mail volumes are decreasing, so NZ Post has to keep the costs down, otherwise people would not be able to afford to post even one letter.”
“I don’t think it is very good. It is a shame as it may delay important mail. It will be harder to synchronise with the posting days.”
“I am on rural delivery and the postal service is shocking. If it were to be cut to three days only, then who knows when we would get out post? It is quicker to send items to the United Kingdom than it is to the North Island.”
“It does not bother me too much as I only receive bills in the mail anyway.”
