MAIL DISAPPEARING AND A FLAW IN DELIVERIES THAT HAVE TO BE SIGNED FOR
What I have also discovered is VERY worrying. Do you know that if you send a parcel by courier thinking it is safer and its valuable and you send it signature required that ONLY items sent with NZ Post couriers get that signature IF the destination is a rural address!!! I was told that if you send anything with ANY other courier and you require proof they got there to the actual address/ person!! i.e. they SIGNED for it then you need to use ONLY NZ POST couriers, Once any other courier hands over to the rural mail delivery people it no longer will have the signature required facility and will be just left in your maIl box. Which if like me you were expecting something TO BE SIGNED FOR is a worry . My parcel came all the way from Russia via Germany Auckland Christchurch thru UPS Poste Haste New Zealand Couriers and all the way to the rural delivery after which it seems to have disappeared and after we discovered this and did all the traces it turns out cos it was not with NZ POST couriers then it no longer needed a signature getting and could be just left in the mail box. Have not yet established IF it was actually delivered ( end of November we are talking about) as it has taken this long to track it but IF it has then it seems someone his taken it. So if anyone knows of a small machine about the size of a cell phone with the letters ENS on it then please either contact me here or return it to the mailbox at the corner or Lake Sumner and Mc Clellands Road. NO QUESTIONS ASKED This machine is of no use to anyone but me and you wont even know what it does and could be VERY DANGEROUS in the wrong hands so parents please check this is not in your homeIt is NOT a toy and can do GREAT HARM if you dont know what it is,If you see this for sale on Trade Me E Bay etc etc please let me know here

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
