A while ago, I posted a similar thread. From the discussion I decided on parcel pod as a way to receive presents without the recipients (i.e: My family) Knowing. The problem with this, however, is it's located in Wellington, an hour long train ride away, and they only allow 48 hours to pick items up. Attending college full time, if this small window were to fall during the week, I wouldn't have three hours to spare to retrieve it. there were other options, but these either required diverting all mail sent to my address, or having 18+ identification. I have neither an up to date passport, or a drivers licence.
Have the item sent to a counter delivery address. That should be available at any post office. Just ask at your local office for how to use it or look it up on the web.
You will need photo ID but a student ID should be OK.

Call your local delivery contractor and ask them to leave it at the depot for you. They will be happy with one less stop that day. Option b in the address field for the order put 'do not deliver return to depot customer to collect' caps, two lines. That will probably do it.

Nope, needs an 18+ ID.
Uhh I am 16 and do this a couple times a year. With both NZ couriers and CourierPost/NZ Post. They normally have no issue with my high school ID....
That's really odd. I went and asked at my local post office and the staff told me I needed an 18+ ID. Perhaps they didn't know themselves. What was your experience?

Could you elaborate, please?
