New Zealand Post has announced today – Friday the 13th of May – the closure of many of its Post Shops including the Dunedin Metro Post Shop and Kiwibank. The Dunedin Metro Post Shop is a busy and useful facility for Dunedin people, organizations and businesses. It is conveniently located in the centre of the CBD, and unlike other city post shops has parking available. It has a large number of PO Boxes with all day access for large parcels. It is nearby to cafes and hotels and other accommodation. It is used by a wide variety of people including tourists, locals, beneficiaries, business people, organizations and others. It is a one stop shop, it is in the traditional centre of Dunedin, and if closed people will be forced to travel to South or North Dunedin, or go to the congested and hard to access Moray Place post office on the other side of the Octagon. This is more than a business it is a community facility and should be seen by New Zealand Post as an investment in their profile and brand. Most of all it is staffed by some excellent workers who always treat customers in a friendly, efficient and high quality way! This is a bad decision by New Zealand Post. Join our campaign and sign the petition to change their minds and keep this important part of Dunedin alive and well. SAVE DUNEDIN METRO POST SHOP AND KIWIBANK. When we have finished collecting signatures we will send them to New Zealand Post.

I am currently finalizing a formal letter to the New Zealand Post board detailing the specific logistical impacts of this closure. My focus is on documenting the loss of accessibility for local businesses and the failure to provide a reasonable alternative for PO Box holders.

Ridiculous move by NZ Post. Taking away services from the CBD makes no sense at all. Keep it open!

This is so stupid. It is the only place in town I can actually find a park. Whoever made this call has never tried to visit the other branches.

Staff there are legends. Always helpful and fast which is rare these days. Don't close it down.

Total incompetence from head office. You are killing off the heart of the city for no good reason. LEAVE IT ALONE.
