Posting mail to South Africa
Over the past 2 months I have on separate occasions posted a letter to South Africa using ordinary non tracked service. Both times it did not arrive to the intended recipient. I popped in at NZ Post today to inquire about more secure options. $20 for signature only (not tracked) and wait for it, $106 for tracked. I'm not trying to freight a parcel here. I wonder if anyone else finds the latter option quite ridiculous and also if anyone else has any suggestions.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
