Looks like couriers are now starting to charge for redelivery. Had a courier card in my letterbox from nzcouriers to say I needed to go onto their new online redelivery  website to arrange redelivery. Their website won't propagate the delivery address from IE on my surface, so I will need to do it from my desktop, not a good start for their online systems. But I noted that they said that from next year they will be charging an extra 2.50 for redelivery, as the price of the courier doesn't cover redelivery. Although it says you can pickup for free from a depot. I can understand why they would want  to charge an additional fee, but the question is whether people will accept it. For example when a courier calls, you may be indisposed at the time, and sometimes couriers don't wait at the door, if you are slow at answering. This also makes it hard for people selling things because they would need to make sure the person was available to accept delivery, so I am only going to send things to people using couriers that don't have that fee, or  via NZ posts courier post. At least with NZ pst they will take the item to a local post shop. But picking  up from one of these couriers could require upto an hours drive. Also requires roof of ID and delivery address so you have to make sure you don't forget those. They also suggest having a secure lockup box for parcels onsite, but who is gong to go to that extreme unless you are getting parcels all the time. But it does look like if this is going t be brought in by most couriers, NZ posts service has got a big advantage in this, as all they need to do is take the item to a post shop and most people have a post shop close by, so them people don't incur any additional fees.
