On holiday? Here's how to stop mail from piling up.
📫 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
📫 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
📫 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.

We want to hear from you:
1. When does your brain "click" into gear?
2. Would a flexible (or shortened) schedule change the way you work?

We want to know: Are you seeing signs of Auckland's economy improving in your industry or neighbourhood? Whether it's busier shops, new projects kicking off, or just a shift in the mood ...
