New Zealand Post is slowly going out the door with declining dividends to taxpayers, a sustained decline in its commercial valuation and a negative or poor Total Shareholder Return. Letter volumes declined by a one-half in 10 years but the parcels business is growing because of the rise of e-commerce and Internet shopping.
