I purchased a signature required courier bag from NZPost as a return envelope for sending an important document back to me a few days ago. But when it was delivered, it was left outside my house. I never met the courier, nor signed anything as a receiver.

I think I am not the only one who paid extra money but not received the service promised. How do you deal with this, folks? Any place or any way to complain that we can make sure the important documents will be delivered safely according to their promise? Anyone took NZPost to the court, and the result?

As the summer months approach, many people look for ways to keep their homes cool without relying entirely on air conditioning. One simple and cost-effective method is the use of curtains. This article will explore how curtains can reduce heat and provide a more comfortable living space.

How Curtains Reduce Heat
Blocking Sunlight: Curtains act as a barrier to the sun's rays, preventing them from heating up your room. By closing the curtains during the hottest part of the day, you can reduce the temperature inside.

Material Matters: The type of fabric plays a crucial role in how effective the curtains are at blocking heat. Thick, dense materials like velvet or blackout fabrics can block more heat compared to sheer or lightweight fabrics.

Colour Choices: Darker colours tend to absorb more heat, whereas lighter colours reflect it. While dark curtains may block more sunlight, they might also trap more heat. On the other hand, lighter curtains can keep a room cooler by reflecting heat away.

Insulating Properties: Some curtains have a special lining that adds an extra layer of insulation, keeping the heat outside and the cool air inside. These can be particularly effective in maintaining a comfortable temperature.


Benefits of Using Curtains to Reduce Heat
Energy Savings: By reducing the need for air conditioning......
