Kia ora koutou

I am proposing a slight change to the letterbox we will order.

After Tim gave the all-clear space-wise, Warren and Kristin advised me to check with NZ Post.

Michelle, who’s delivery manager, said posties find them “horrible”. Mail will get damaged. She strongly recommends us to look for an alternative.

After scouring the Mitre10 and Bunnings sites, I found only one:

• It’s called the Sandleford Black Multi Unit Letterbox
• Bunnings lists it here: https://www.bunnings.co.nz/sandleford-black-multi-unit-letterbox_p3210389
• Sticker price is $59.98, no bulk discount, University staff discount of $3, so $57, slightly more than the $45 one from Mitre10.
• Michelle approved it.
• Plenty in stock in South Island - about 2 weeks lead time.
• Only available in black.
• Wall-mountable.
• Given its horizontal orientation, a bank could consist of 3 rows rather than 2, so the bank can fit easily.
• Pictured below.

Does anyone have serious reservations or objections – or want to discuss this at a meeting? If I don’t here of that, I’ll proceed with an order on Monday.

Also, regarding parcel delivery, Michelle wanted to see the site before giving advise about parcel delivery options. I’ll meet her next Friday 2pm on site – I’m assuming outdoor access is unproblematic. Should you have an interest and an opportunity, please join this parcel party.

Regards

Sander
