NEW ZEALAND DOMESTIC SHIPPING RATE CHANGES
On the 28th of MarchNZ Post changed the sizes and costs of the letter rate and parcel service. The changes mean we will be unable to send most paperbacks for less than $3, A rates now $3, although we will be able to send about 3 slim paperbacks for $3 or multiple paperbacks at a $5 parcel rate. FOR NEW ZEALAND customers the C rate for paperbacks may be able to be charged at $3. These changes will mean that a multiple order will give an even greater postal saving if buying paperbacks.
