Signature Required Parcels just left in Letterboxes !

Davina from Frankton

Frankton/Lake Area
BEWARE! Aramex/NZ Post are just leaving 'Signature Required' parcels in letterboxes. I was expecting something expensive and after checking the tracking, it stated it had been delivered! I work from home every day and in full view of the front door - no one came to my house. I raced to the letterbox - nothing. Lodged complaint, driver admitted leaving in letterbox - SIGNATURE REQUIRED !!@ And now the fight begins to get my money back, and the sender having lost the item/value also.

Where is the responsibility when we pay for a service? I hope others are all lodging complaints too - I am taking this issue to FAIR GO now as I have had to also fork out for parcel after parcel being left in letterboxes and stolen - even though they are sent 'Signature Required' and no effort to even go to the house.
This industry needs to be held accountable. This is absolutely negligent and totally irresponsible when they ALL KNOW letterboxes are being raided/courier vans followed etc - this shows absolutely no regard for peoples items.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Derelict Tokanui Hospital buildings will be demolished and contaminated land cleaned up so the site can be offered back to iwi.

The former psychiatric hospital, southeast of Te Awamutu, sits on land taken from Ngāti Maniapoto under the Public Works Act in 1910.

Poll: Are you a Te Huia fan?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

All three Hamilton MPs appear to be united behind the retention of the Te Huia passenger rail service between Hamilton and Auckland, as well as potentially expanding it to Tauranga.

But whether Hamilton East’s Ryan Hamilton, Hamilton West’s Tama Potaka and soon-to-be Labour list MP Georgie Dansey have the combined power to shunt transport minister Chris Bishop and Prime Minister Christopher Luxon onto their line of thinking remains to be seen.
