New Zealand Post is moving to review its offerings amid a recent move to cut back on services.

A new Government agreement will let it close almost 400 postal outlets, and reduce mail deliveries.

They'll now only be required two times a week for most areas, down from three - and can fall from at least five times weekly in rural areas, to three.

NZ Post CEO David Walsh says these changes reflect New Zealand's changing communication habits.

"Our role is to deliver the services New Zealanders need - we'll keep delivering mail and we'll have to respond to the circumstances we're facing, but that's our job."
