新西兰邮局削减邮递量,在城市每周发送两次,在农村地区每周发送三次,随着信件使用量减少,关闭了380个服务点。 New Zealand Post cuts mail delivery to twice weekly in cities and three times in rural areas, closing up to 380 service points, as letter use declines.

《新西兰邮报》已获批准,作为政府支持的邮政契约更新的一部分,将邮递量减少到城市每周两次,农村地区每周三次,从3天和5天减少到3天,并关闭380个服务点。 New Zealand Post has been approved to reduce mail delivery to twice weekly in cities and three times weekly in rural areas, down from three and five days, and close up to 380 service points, as part of a government-backed update to its postal deed. 这些变化旨在确保财务上的可持续性,因为自2013年以来,每个交付点每周的字母用量从7.5个急剧下降至2个字母以下,包括四年逐步减少至至少400个服务点。 The changes, aimed at ensuring financial sustainability amid a sharp decline in letter usage—down from 7.5 to under two letters per delivery point weekly since 2013—include a four-year phase-down to a minimum of 400 service points. 农村零售地点至少不能关闭一年,搬迁并不影响包裹服务。 Rural retail locations cannot be closed for at least a year, and the move does not affect parcel services. 政府援引数量下降为理由,预测到2028年,每周每封信函不到一封,作为理由。 The government cited declining volumes, with projections of fewer than one letter per address weekly by 2028, as justification. 虽然《新西兰邮报》强调这些改变不是自动的,需要利益攸关方的投入,但倡导团体对依赖实物邮件的老年居民受到的影响表示关切。 While NZ Post emphasized the changes are not automatic and require stakeholder input, advocacy groups raised concerns about impacts on older residents reliant on physical mail.
