Hi from your local postie. We would appreciate your help.
Greetings! You will have seen those red golf carts going up and down the foot paths delivering your mail.
We call these "paxters". They are quite different from the bike, but delivery is similar to a bike, depending on which postie you talk to.
Around 20 of us deliver 1000 plus mail items in the Christchurch Central and East area which is what the St. Asaph depot serves. This is the area from Fendalton to Parklands, to Sumner, to Lyttelton to Sydenham to Hagley Park.
We try our best to get your mail to you on time. To help us deliver efficiently we would appreciate your help by doing the following:
*Clearly displaying house/business number
*Clearly displaying your mail box on the street line rather than up the driveway.
*making an outline around the letter hole in a different colour if your letter box is attached to the fence behind.
*Clearing your mail box regularly so we can easily put the letters in.
* Diaplaying your mail box between 1 and 1.5m high.
* Keeping foliage trimmed around letter box
* Trimming overhead trees so the branches don't scrape the mail delivery vehicle from the sides or the top
* Exiting your drive way slowly for your safety and ours.
* Keeping cars and wheelie bins clear of the footpath wherever possible.
* Putting a no circular sign on you letter box if you don't want junk mail. This will save you from clearing your letter box so often. (It will also save the trees)
We aim to provide the best service we can while safely delivering your mail. We have been blessed by your positive feedback on our alternative delivery mode, the "paxter".
We want to thank you for your cooperation that you have shown. Feel free to call the New Zealand Post number on 0800 501501 if you have questions or concerns.
Have a God blessed day!
Jonathan, delivery agent, NZ Post.
🌉🛶 Early Birds Might Crack This One First… or Not? 🥚🧠
A person is crossing a bridge and sees a boat full of people, yet there isn't a single person on board.
How is this possible?
(Susan from Massey kindly provided this head-scratcher ... thanks, Susan!)

🪱🐦 When are you the most productive? 🌙🦉
The Post has been diving into our daily habits, and research suggests being an early bird or a night owl isn’t just a choice—it’s biology! We all have that specific time when our brains finally "click" into gear.
This raises a big question for the modern workplace. To get the best out of everyone, should employers accommodate our natural body clocks? This idea is at the heart of the four-day work week and flexible scheduling movements.
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?
Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.
🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.
Remember, banks will:
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
