Rural Delivery

We have been dealing with the frustrations of the rural delivery mail service over the past few months. We buy quite a bit over the internet and with the change of ownership of our mail run we are now mainly having to go into the main post office to pick up parcels that are "too big for the box". The previous drivers used to bring them to our door. Fair enough, but when we have paid something like $30-50 for postage in the first place then I expect to have the parcel delivered to my door. It is not like we are even miles out of town - a whole 7km from the very centre of town, and the area is now very built up - the city has now come to us. Andy has been working hard on the information mailer for our Nationals coming up, with all the email hassles we have had lately and the file not getting through it was couriered to us on Monday morning from Auckland. We received it in our mail box today - not a very good service NZ Post!

We figured it was about time that we were on the regular delivery schedule so we can have couriers come direct to us. This morning though we started to rethink. Tommy and I were having an early morning cuddle in the lounge when we saw something moving in the back yard - we take a second look and yup, there are 3 cows standing under our puriri tree - hmmm maybe we are still a little bit rural after all.
