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.

Scam Alert: Bank cold calls

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

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, we’re 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 — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?

We hope this brings a smile!
