Pricing changes

With inflation running hot (well over 7% for the past 12 months), it has come to the point we need to adjust our prices slightly to ensure smooth operation over the coming year. NZ Post has also announced they are increasing their pricing, and we have included these details here.

These changes come into effect on the 1st of July, 2023. The changes to subscription rates will be applied on the next renewal after this date.
