In a flash of inspiration, NZ Post decided to change the postcodes for a lot of new Zealand's mail delivery. And to solve the confusion, they installed a Very Flash Postcode Finder on their website.
According to NZ Post's website, Seaview Road, Piha ... does not exist. Or rather, it is not located in any of the following towns or cities:
- Piha
- Auckland
- Waitakere
Searching the very high-tech but not very accurate NZ Post PostCode Finder in order to get a correct address for your mail results in this:
If you think you live in the cities of Auckland or Waitakere, you're sadly mistaken:
Luckily for them, Brad - our marvellous postman - refuses to acknowledge their denial of our existence. We still get our mail.
Update: NZ Post only recognise this address if I state it as being in New Lynn, 30km away.
If I give it correctly, stating the name of the actual town, NZ Post gets it wrong by 272km.
