The Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment is asking for feedback on Kiwi postal services. 

It's proposing changes to NZ Post - including fewer weekly deliveries and reduced postal outlets 

People are sending 813 million fewer mail items than they were 20 years ago.

MBIE Communications Infrastructure and Trade General Manager James Hartley says this is the right time to hear from the public on the best way to maintain services.

"We know Kiwis are sending a lot fewer letters than they used to - 2002, for example, one billion letters went through the postal system. It's now down to $180 million. There's been a huge decline over that period... we think it's the right time."
