Slightly less sneaky this year, announcing the cost of a letter was going up to $2 (buy your Kiwistamps now folks...)
However... just got an email announcing of a few more undisclosed changes for July 1.
"No more prepaid tracked bags. NZ Post is changing to a bag only range. You will purchase bags and then postage tickets separately for each bag size, either a tracked ticket or a courier ticket up to 3kg. The 5kg tickets will continue at new prices for parcels over 3kg. Bag and ticket combined will cost more than the current rates.
70 mm small parcel tickets will no longer be available. The lower cost small parcel tickets (up to 70mm thick) will no longer be available so price increases for these customers will be higher."
You'll be able to use your own bags (which has always been the case), but the majority of people posting parcels in the shop will just pick up a bag there, so that's a sneaky price rise on the cards IF the info is correct.
Fun times.
