Answers For [Forecast T1-2025] Enquiry about Airmail

SCRIPT:

Hello? Jennifer speaking.

Hello Jennifer. My name's Ben Smith. I'm from the New Zealand Post Office Service.

I understand you left a couple of questions on our website forum.

Seeing as though you left your phone number as a contact, I thought you might prefer us to call.

Oh Ben! Its nice to speak to you again. I really appreciate your help last month.

Yes, as I will be moving to Australia soon and need to send some of my things via airmail, I just wasn't sure how to get my mail redirected.

I can help you with that.

It’s interesting that I recently got more inquiries about international mailing due to migration to other countries. May I ask why you are moving?

1Umm. . . There are a few reasons such as I have family in Australia and the weather there is warmer, but mainly because it hard to find a job here .

I have just got the news that I was successful in applying for a job in Australia! I'll be starting in November.

{[How exciting, congratulations! I have never been to Australia, but I've heard it's a nice place. Is it a permanent job?

No, I will only be working for that company as a temporary assistant over this summer ][2]}.

You never know I might get homesick and want to come back after a few months anyway!

I hope the job goes well for you. What postal address will you be using in Australia?

I had organized some accommodation at a hostel in Sydney for the first week,but that fell through, so I will stay at my friend's house until I find somewhere else. 3My things will have to be sent to her place for now and the address is 9 Queen Street, Sydney .

Can I know how long you will be staying there? We want to make sure you get your mail while you are there.

4I will be staying there for the first two months . You know, it's free staying with her.

That’s nice! Now, I've got a couple more questions for you. What is your full name and current address?

My name is Jennifer Simmons.

How do you spell your surname, please?

5It's S-I-M-M-O-N-S .

Got that. And your address, please?

6Oh, right. I'm currently living at 16 Ocean Road, Auckland .

And your postcode?

{[It's 0245.

That doesn't come up in our system as a valid postcode. Can you check that again, please?

Yes, sorry! I'm not good at remembering numbers. It's 0425][7]}.

When would you like your things to be air mailed?

8I will leave New Zealand on the 23rd of September, but I will try to send them on the 22nd .

so that's the day before. How long will it take for my things to get to Australia?

It will take about a week.

Perfect. That should give me time to get organized in Australia before everything arrives.

May I ask about the content of your delivery?

There are some things you have to sign a goods declaration for, such as expensive items or if you are importing medications in bulk.

I won't be sending anything like that. It'll mainly be personal items. I was thinking of posting some books.

But I guess that's quite expensive because they are heavy. And my guitar is kind of big.

Yes, it can be quite expensive.

9Ummm. . . I might not send them then. I definitely need to send some of my files .

I have one standard-size file box full of them.

Sure. Anything else?

10I've heard the beaches and the ocean are beautiful in Australia. I enjoy diving so I'm going to send my diving gear as well .

I have packed it into a box to send it more easily. Would you mind if I weighed everything and sent you information to get a quote on the price?

Just send it to [email protected]. Can I help you with anything else?

No, that's everything. Thank you for your help!
