Personal sending pricing changes from 1 July 2025 - questions and answers
Providing our service in an efficient way is very important to us. Regularly reviewing how we do things is key to delivering what people care about for years to come.
Like many other Kiwi businesses, we’re currently facing higher operating and labour costs, and inflation challenges. It’s our responsibility to continually deliver commercial returns and a sustainable delivery service for New Zealand, which means that we need to review our prices each year and sometimes increase them.

We don’t recommend using multiple KiwiStamps for larger letters as the value of KiwiStamps will be increasing from 1 July 2025 to $2.90 each, which means, if you use multiple KiwiStamps, you’d be paying more than required. For larger letters, our recommendation is to use a KiwiStamp, plus a stamp of a fixed denomination to add up to the postage value you need. E.g. The cost to post a Standard Mail Large envelope is $4.20, if you use 2 x KiwiStamps, you’d be paying $5.80. By using 1 x KiwiStamp ($2.90) plus other stamps to the value of $1.30, you save $1.60.
