New Zealand Post has stopped canceling stamps on mail — at least
temporarily.

A New Zealand Post spokesperson told Linn’s Sept. 18: “New Zealand Post
is currently trialling some new processes to reduce costs, due to the
accelerating mail volume decline, this includes stopping the cancelling
of stamps by processing machines.”


Apparently, the experiment of not cancelling the stamps was cancelled
after a few days. According to a source which I have forgotten in the
meantime, on 8 October 2018 stamp cancellation should have resumed.
