graemeh:Not just NZ Post, they are all in to it.
My parents live in Bethlehem and for some couriers that is considered "rural". It was rural 20+ years ago, lots of kiwifruit orchards but now there are a huge number of houses and retirement villages. It probably has a higher population density than downtown Tauranga.
Really? Which courier companies consider Bethlehem as rural??? Unbelievable
