On holiday? Here's how to stop mail from piling up.
π« If you plan to be out of town for a period of time it is a good idea to ensure that your mail box does not become over-full, because this can be a clue to would-be burglars that there is no-one home.
Ask a friend or neighbour
π« You can ask a friend or neighbour that you trust, to drop by and collect mail from your mailbox regularly while you are away, and give it to you when you return. Alternatively, you could find a house-sitter to live at your home while you are away, who can also bring in your mail and put it aside for when you return.
New Zealand Post hold service
π« You can ask New Zealand Post (NZ Post) to hold your mail for up to 12 weeks. There is a small fee for this service, though if you are aged 65 years or over you can get this service for free for up to four weeks.
There is more about this issue in this article on our website.

Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? π»π¨π
In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?
What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?
-
38.3% The sting of a fine (Money talks!)
-
61.7% The threat of demerit points (Nobody wants to lose their license!)
Some Choice News!
DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, weβre a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature β and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
π Riddle me this, legends! π
He/She who makes it, sells it.
He/She who buys it, doesn't use it.
The user doesn't know they are using it.
What is it?
