ARGHHHH nz post!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We moved 4 months ago and had our mail redirected, without any problems, after two months we extended it.

I got a call today from an angry angry lady asking why we were ignoring their letters and why we hadn't paid!! Then it struck me our letterbox has been very quiet as of late.

So I rang around some other companies and people and it would seem that all of our "redirected mail" was not being redirected!! .

I rang NZ Post and they are investigating for us and advised we go to our old address and see if there is any mail there, so I go over and she tells me she hasn't received any mail apart from a letter today. I opened it and it is a final notice for our flat mates phone bill. (we changed names over when we moved) I asked her where the other ones were and she claims not to have received any. Longer story short I rang telecom they have sent out four previous letters- so where are they? My guess is in the bin.

I have four companies who have confirmed they have sent letters to our old address that's 8 letters so far that have disappeared.

What worries me is ones a bank statement, one's a cheque from Inland revenue (I told him to change his address). And three were claims forms from the MOE, who are now worried about fraud.

So now I have to wait to hear back from nz post to see what is happening. GRRRR where's my freakin mail!!!! .

That sucks..we moved 2 months ago and had our mail redirected for 2 months.. it just ran out actually and I haven't managed to change our address for some things but some of that is due to incompetence with some of the companies, like Spotlight and PP, that I get catalogues for.. tried to change my address in the store, and they said I had to ring up instead

That sux! But I kind of know where the lady that lives in your old house is coming from if she did chuck them in the bin... we've been at our new place (bought our property, so not like the last people suddenly moved out or anything) and they didn't even bother redirecting their mail. We have had about 100 pieces of mail for them in the last 6 months, originally I forwarded them on to the new address for the first couple of months, now I burn them.

Stupid NZ Post doesn't even give you the first 2 months of redirection free now! Which is actually disadvantaging the new tenants, not the old ones!

I hope they give you an apology and hopefully nothing's happened that can't be fixed.

Gosh I hope you get the MOH thing sorted soon, it must be a bit of a worry for you. Hopefully wherever that mail is, the person hasn't opened your mail or anything. You would think that something that had the MOH stamp on it someone would forward on though. Most people aren't THAT mean about mail. Let us know how you get on.
