Post Office Switching to Three-Day delivery Schedule

       New Zealand Post is known as an innovative organization, offering a range of services including travel insurance, travel SIM cards for mobile phones, and a foreign currency exchange.  In addition to expanding its lineup of services, the Post announced that it will be reducing the number of days in which it delivers mail to as little as three per week. 

The switch, expected to take place in June 2015, will prompt urban delivery to drop to no less than three days per week while rural area delivery will decrease to no less than five per week. Customers could still choose to have their mail delivered up to six days per week for an extra courier fee.   As the world’s population continues to integrate additional electronic communication alternatives into their lives, Post Offices are likely to seek creative means to cater to their shifting demands.
