Chicken run: New Zealand Post will start delivering KFC to beat mail slump

[snookypookums]

[QUOTE][B]The New Zealand postal service has begun delivering Kentucky Fried Chicken in a bid to stem major revenue losses as the number of people using the postal service continue to plummet.[/B]

NZ Post and the fast food company have joined forces in a pilot scheme in the North Island port city of Tauranga, with KFC contracting NZ Post to handle the logistics of its new home delivery service.

Mike Stewart, a spokesman for NZ Post, said the company was grappling with how to survive long-term, when every week Kiwis sent a million fewer letters than the week before.[/QUOTE]

Either way this is pretty cool. A step up from most retailers in the NZ market atm.

I know McD's is still trialing deliveries still up at New Lynn.[/QUOTE]

does kfc in the area have an app and does that app allow for plug in scripts so for instance you can have google home or amazon echo order chicken for you when someone says "I'm hungry"?

So, The Mail Service has become UberEats? Amazing.

An innovative way to beat a slump, if ever I saw one.

My condolences.

If I still lived in New Zealand I'd abuse the hell out of this.

Best thing is I have family in Tauranga so I can just live down there and get fat for the rest of my life. :v:

Between this and uber eats I'm going to be one happy stoner.
