NZPost service

I purchased a signature required courier bag from NZPost as a return envelope for sending an important document back to me a few days ago. But when it was delivered, it was left outside my house. I never met the courier, nor signed anything as a receiver.

I purchased a signature required courier bag from NZPost as a return envelope for sending an important document back to me a few days ago. But when it was delivered, it was left outside my house. I never met the courier, nor signed anything as a receiver.

I think I am not the only one who paid extra money but not received the service promised. How do you deal with this, folks? Any place or any way to complain that we can make sure the important documents will be delivered safely according to their promise? Anyone took NZPost to the court, and the result?

An entry-level home in Hamilton’s popular Christmas suburb has sold for almost $100,000 over its reserve.

With the reserve set for $800,000, Lodge listing agent Blair Pointon said the owner was “blown away” when the three-bedroom house in Harrowfield went for $890,000 at auction this week.

Have you had an operation in the private system?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Three failed eye operations in one week left Surindur Ralm effectively blind for months, unable to drive, work, write or cook.

The Waikato man then forked out $25,000 for further private surgery when he couldn’t get a date for the “urgent” procedure through the public system.
