✨ Parcel-Post Regulations



Aug. 8.] THE NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE. 2119

  1. When a parcel for delivery is observed to be damaged the addressee should be requested to open it in the presence of the delivering officer in order that the extent of the damage may be immediately determined. This will place the Department in a better position to deal with any claim which may be made on account of the damage. No suggestion should, however, be made relative to compensation either to the sender or to the addressee of a damaged parcel. Neglect of this rule may result in the officer at fault being required to pay any claim which may arise in connection therewith.

  2. On the first of each month the Postmaster must make a careful examination of all parcels in his office and satisfy himself that everything is in proper order. He should also at frequent intervals personally supervise the parcel-work with the view of detecting or preventing irregularities.

DESPATCH OF FOREIGN PARCEL-MAILS.

  1. The hour of closing parcel-mails for places outside the Dominion should be timely notified, and a paragraph inserted in the mail-notices giving the latest time for receipt of parcels.

Parcels from other places must reach the despatching office at least four hours before the closing of the ordinary mail.
