Don't mind having this posted here, but stop posting it all over the rest of the site.
Personally, I don't see this as a problem that NZ Post has anything to do with, they are being told that they have to process each parcel individually, and guarantee that GST and duty has been paid. At the current time, they simply process the parcels over the threshold.
That obviously adds a lot of cost to their operation, and being broke, they really could not wear that. This problem is only going to be solved by either the government not implementing any changes to the threshold, the government footing the bill for the changes they plan to make, or NZPost passing the cost onto the users.
While not ideal, if the changes go through, NZPost passing on the cost of operating changes to the users isn't something unheard of. Most businesses will pass the cost on to the users in this scenario.
Maybe a better idea would be to lobby for the government to not change the law, and leave it at the current level, rather than potentially wasting time trying to convince NZPost not to implement changes when forced to.
Done
done.
