Hi,
I'm interested to hear if people have had issues having parcels delivered by NZ Post Couriers.
I don't have many parcels delivered, but they are often delivered to the wrong address (5 out 7 have been delivered to wrong address in the last 2 years).
My house is not an … View moreHi,
I'm interested to hear if people have had issues having parcels delivered by NZ Post Couriers.
I don't have many parcels delivered, but they are often delivered to the wrong address (5 out 7 have been delivered to wrong address in the last 2 years).
My house is not an apartment or down a driveway, parking is not an issue and the street number is clearly displayed on the letter box.
I hoping that this post and peoples responses are picked up by NZ Post and that they can improve their service.
New Zealand may experience strong and unusual currents and unpredictable surges at the shore following a magnitude 8.7 earthquake off the East Coast of Russia at 2025-07-30 11:25 AM.

Strong currents and surges can injure and drown people. There is a danger to swimmers, surfers, people fishing, and anyone in or near the water close to shore.
People in or near the sea in the following areas should move out of the water, off beaches and shore areas and away from harbours, marinas, rivers and estuaries.
AREAS UNDER THREAT:
ALL COASTAL AREAS OF THE NORTH ISLAND, GREAT BARRIER ISLAND, THE SOUTH ISLAND, STEWART ISLAND, and the CHATHAM ISLANDS (updated: 3.02pm, 30/07/2025)
ADVICE FOR PEOPLE IN AREAS UNDER THREAT:
STAY OFF THE BEACHES AND SHORE AREAS
People on boats, live-aboards and at marinas should leave their boats/vessels and move onto shore. Do not return to boats unless instructed by officials.
There is no need to evacuate other areas unless directly advised by local civil defence authorities. Coastal inundation (flooding of land areas near the shore) is not expected as a result of this event. We are advising people to:
- Move out of the water, off beaches and shore areas and away from harbours, marinas, rivers and estuaries.
- Do not go to the coast to watch the unusual wave activity as there may be dangerous and unpredictable surges.
- Listen to local civil defence authorities and follow any instructions.
- Share this information with family, neighbours and friends.
- Strong and unusual currents and unpredictable surges will continue for several hours and the threat must be regarded as real until the Civil Defence states otherwise.
The situation may change as new information becomes available. Listen to the radio or TV for updates, or check www.civildefence.govt.nz...

After reading Flip Grater's opinion piece, Playing germ roulette with our kids’ health, we felt a collective sense of relief - another parent shares our niggling worries.
We wanted to check in with our online neighbours: do you feel the same way? We are all busy, and keeping children home from school is sometimes impossible given other responsibilities. Busy lives and the apparent loss of collective energy around monitoring cold symptoms have led to more students and staff in shared spaces with sniffles and coughs.
But what do you think? Is this a concern?
We want to know: Are there clear Guidelines on when to keep kids off of school?
Should we be having a nuanced conversation about risk management, and how to better support working families?

The pukupuku is the smallest and one of the most vulnerable kiwi species. Only around 2000 birds remain on offshore islands and predator-free sanctuaries, and are the descendants of just 5 birds which had been translocated to Kapiti Island from South Westland in 1912.
The March discovery in the remote Adams Wilderness Area, on the West Coast, is definitely choice news.
Ka pai to the amazing investigation team: DOC biodiversity ranger Iain Graham and his conservation dog, Brew!
We hope this news brings a smile!

Despite the signage , and unless they have suddenly migrated off somewhere, it appears that some low-life has cleaned them out apart from one small one remaining today. Usually there are well over a dozen large ones living there that come up to the bank if any sign of a human there. Today there is a small wooden ramp leaning into the pond, which I assume was for dragging the speared eels out up onto the bank.
Sad if this is actually what has happened.
For sale, table tennis table in two halves. Each half tilts up and is on wheels for easy storage. Both halves sit together nice and easy. Good condition, some marks on the surface from general west and tear. Selling as not being used.
In very good condition but there is a name on the sleeping bag tag (at base) easily removed and the tag has been removed from bag cover. There are some small faults in the printing of Dora on the bag and she is very wrinkled from being rolled up in the bag - not from old age. Sold as for 3+ as it … View moreIn very good condition but there is a name on the sleeping bag tag (at base) easily removed and the tag has been removed from bag cover. There are some small faults in the printing of Dora on the bag and she is very wrinkled from being rolled up in the bag - not from old age. Sold as for 3+ as it is a small size. Great for curling up your little one in while they watch Dora on the TV.
Purple wool hooded coat, knee length, with water resistant interlining & pink lining. Size 10-12. Has pockets in front seams. Maternity cut, but you can’t really tell. For the early days in pregnancy. Home made by expert seamstress, by the time it was finished she was too big to wear it.
