✨ Postal Regulations
Dec. 20.] THE NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE. 3229
-
In the event of the contents of a parcel being damaged, the parcel should, as far as practicable, be retained in the condition in which it was received from the office of delivery, and be submitted, when required, to the examination of a responsible officer.
-
Compensation for a parcel lost or damaged in the post will not exceed the amount of the actual loss or damage, but no compensation will be paid for a parcel containing any prohibited article, or which has been delivered without external trace of injury and has been accepted, without remark, by the addressee, or when loss or damage arises from flood, tempest, shipwreck, earthquake, war, or other causes beyond control.
-
No application for compensation will be entertained unless made within three months from date of posting if the parcel originated in New Zealand, and within six months if in any other country. Such application may be made to the postal administration of either country or colony of origin or delivery, but the certificate of posting must be produced when required.
-
The final decision upon all questions of compensation rests with the postal administration of the country or colony in which the loss or damage has taken place.
-
Any insurance effected contrary to the foregoing provisions is invalid.
-
The sender of an insured parcel addressed to the United Kingdom may obtain an acknowledgment of its due receipt by the addressee by payment at the time of posting of a fee of 2½d., in addition to the ordinary postage and insurance fees. No inquiry as to the delivery of an insured parcel for the United Kingdom will be made except by means of an acknowledgment-of-delivery form, to which must be attached the fee of 2½d.
-
Where not repugnant to the foregoing regulations, the general regulations hereinbefore contained relating to parcels apply also to parcels forwarded under these regulations.
