If it is small enough they will put it in your PO Box, otherwise they put a card in you box and you have to wait in line at the counter to collect. John
Sorry I meant if you lodge a CourierPost item into a community post box to send away. Instead of at CourierPost or one of their agencies such as a Post Shop.
I would presume it would still get sent. Courier post vans also transport normal mail too, including parcel post, at least that is what I have noticed.
Putting a courier package into the community post box, I'd say all bets are off and almost anything could happen. I wouldn't be surprised if they returned to sender.
ajobbins I am aware of NZP's 50% and now 100% ownership of CourierPost.
It appears that access agreements mean that courier and other mail that gets mislodged gets handed over to the right places. That's good to know. A bit like video stores returning videos and DVDs to each other apparently.
A CourierPost driver did once tell me that if I lodge a CP prepaid item in a community NZP mailbox that it would still go to the same place.
I still never tried it but yesterday this happened without my knowledge. I freaked out when there was no scanning for the item but can confirm it as delivered this morning within CP target and scanned as such.
I know the same Courier Post driver that delivers to our office also clears the mailbox on the corner of the street! It's clearly not a guarantee of the system working.
From what I've seen all (?) mail boxes are cleared by CourierPost contracted to NZP. Certainly this is the case in Dunedin. All mail goes to the MSC (due to close next year) which is basically the same building as CourierPost but with offices at opposing ends which is why I always wondered if you could drop CP items into a mailbox.
Was told yes by a CP driver but never tried or wanted to risk it!
Official word from NZ Post is that if a CP package somehow finds its way into their system they will attempt to reunite it with the correct network. But this obviously isn't the formal way to lodge items and is definitely not recommended as you lose track and trace, etc. and it couldn't be relied upon.
