Hi all
Yesterday Juan, Liz, Anthony, Donald, Anna, Camila, and I installed our 24 mailboxes! Big team effort with hero Juan fetching the right screws for the job to our relief and satisfaction.
We applied temporary numbers since we’re waiting for some of the stickers to be supplied. We also labelled the sets of 3 keys each and put them on the pegboard with the unit keys. There is a fourth copy, which Liz put in the common house for safekeeping.
I have approached NZ Post to register our addresses in their mail delivery database and make local posties aware.
Regarding parcels, if you wish to always leave your parcels in a designated spot, you can inform delivery companies as follows:
- NZ Post and Courier Post
- https://www.nzpost.co.nz/personal/receiving/delivery-options/parcel-leave - You need an individual account on their site - They probably will send you a card with a code to verify you actually live there
- Freightways group
- https://www.leavemydelivery.co.nz/#atl_form - This group includes NZ Couriers, PosteHaste, CastleParcels, NowCouriers, Pass the Parcel, DX mail
- Aramex
- https://www.aramex.co.nz/tools/e-authority-to-leave/ - formerly FastWay Couriers
I’ve just done so for each of these, instructing:
Go to end of driveway, up the steps, and leave in vestibule
Some of the above companies would install a bar code or ask you to do so, such that couriers can scan it to prove they were there.
We will need to make sure couriers can actually enter the vestibule, so the door is to be unlocked during daytime.
Please note, we have put up unit numbers only; we may want a bigger “25 Alva Street” sign, or just “25” – can the ‘sign’ team take this on board?
Many thanks
