Mail Drop Fee rise.

[Privateservices]

Hello all,

Due to the increased costs we will be increasing our mail drop fees.
This will include a rise in our Virtual Mail Drop and Dedicated rental fees.

But will not mean a rise in our postage and handling fees, these will remain the same.

The fee rise will commence after out next system upgrade in approximately two weeks.
Although the increase will not be a great deal, we advise you to take advantage of the lowest priced street mailing addresses now!

If you have any further queries please ask our admin through our support centre.

I can't imagine why most people would be interested in such a thing.
Are your NZ customers allowed to pick up their mail from their box? If so, that would be useful, since you don't need ID to open one of your boxes.
However, if you only re-send mail to people, they may as well have it sent directly to them in the first place. If a package coming into NZ doesn't get seized by NZ customs, it does not mean that package won't get seized by Australian customs, for instance, if you were to re-send it to Australia.

I can’t imagine why not.

There are many more specific reasons to use our services.
You are right our services aren’t for everyone.
But they are for people who require a damn good and honest mail forwarding company!

First off bro, private-services.com does a great deal more than just receive and forward"questionable" packages. It also provides honest, law-abiding citizens the opportunity to keep all of their mail private and secure, especially in the face of the "terrorist bogeyman" being used to strip away Americans' privacy concerning their mail, telephone calls (both landline and cell phone), legal rights in the case of arrest/prosecution, etc.

And let me say this bro: You have a HELLUVA greater chance of having your "questionable" package getting through US Customs if the package originated in a very peaceful, serene and law-abiding country like New Zealand, than if the package was shipped directly from China, Thailand, Russia, Turkey, etc.

Hell, US Customs is so suspect of all the "questionable" packages coming from very peaceful and prosperous Canada (because of companies there selling pot seeds to people in the USA) that even having a package shipped from CANADA is not a sure bet to make it through without a problem.

So finding a country like New Zealand to have your package received--and forwarded from-- is much safer, even safer than Austraila.

BTW, if you read their website's Knowledge Base, you would see that private-services offers an "immediate account destruction" feature for customers who feel that their privacy has been violated.

Thank you very much for this great review!

We do aim to provide great quality mail forwarding services.

There is plenty of information on our website, perhaps too much but I am glad that you have got the point we are putting across.

Although we do not intend to promote illegal activities, this is a major concern for us. This is why we are one of the only mail forwarding companies that are protected by law.
That is we are legally registered under the New Zealand government. This protects our customers from the authorities and the fact that we can not be kicked out of the market for some silly wannabie who decides to send us crack!

Thank you very much!

LOL!!! Yeah, I'm sure that some wannabe dealer(s) might try to have shit like that sent through your system....so it's good that you have protected yourself, with the government of New Zealand backing you up.

If someone did try to send you something that was illegal, your address would be red flagged by NZ customs anyway, meaning that all future parcels delivered to your address (even if it's to a different box) will be opened and inspected by NZ customs.

Nice point,

But as we are a postal operator it will be hard for them to open everything.
Not to mention as im registered all I have to do is let custom’s know which addresses are ours and it will be sorted.

We do not have this problem at the moment so we are not worried. Anyway if drugs are sent through us we are fully protected. Thus ensuring our customers are protected also!

This is the reason that private-services.com is promoting its' services on a website like this, and not some drug user/dealer website where he would generate a ton of customers.

They understand that there is no point in making a lot of money in the short term, only to have your business shut down by authorities, as well as lose all the money they would make over the course of the years to follow.

BTW, I don't think that NZ customs is anywhere near as stringent in its' customs practices as the USA.

Remember, their privacy laws in general---and specifically concerning receipt of mail---are much more protective for people than they are in the USA.
