640. Postmasters will send parcels for Victoria and South Australia forward on Auckland or Wellington, as the case may require, when a more expeditious despatch is likely to be secured thereby. The despatch via Bluff is to be utilised in other cases.
641. In all parcel-mails received from or via Australia, the names of steamers conveying the parcel-mails from Australia to New Zealand are to be entered on the parcel-bills unless they already appear thereon. In making up parcel-mails for Perth the net weight of the parcels enclosed in the mail must be shown on the label of the receptacle containing the parcels.
ARRIVAL OF PARCEL-MAILS.
642. Parcel-mails must be subjected to the same scrutiny as ordinary mails.
643. Parcels must be carefully unpacked, one by one, and checked with the parcel-bill; and if any parcel be found open, or in a torn or injured condition, it must be refastened, sealed with the official seal or by means of one of the labels provided for securing open letters, and initialled by the officer affixing the seal or label. The circumstance should be reported.
