I work for NZ Post ( as a postie ) - and no we do not return mail that
does not have a postcode. In fact 90% of the mail that comes through my
morning sort does not have postcode on it. It gets delivered just the
same :)

Thanks, I'll look into that one.
I did laugh at the idea that NZ Post might be precious about sharing
their database given that they return mail that doesn't have a
postcode on it. I get that they probably want the traffic but repeat
visits from a small group of people doesn't really increase their
revenue making opportunities.

Interesting question, I've been pondering the possibility of an
open postcode directory recently.
I'm not keen on screenscraping as a data source myself. The data
isn't really Free (Libre) and more pragmatically there's too much
chance of lawsuits and minor formatting changes breaking things.
With a bit of publicity and careful explanation of the project's
aim it should be possible to get people to "donate" address /
post-code pairings to an open database.
The founder of OpenStreetMap has started a sister project called
Free The Postcode http://www.freethepostcode.org/ which is
working on developing a list for the UK. Who knows, a polite
request might obtain their software to ease starting a project
for NZ.
OpenStreetMap itself is interested in postcodes, but the NZ page
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/New_Zealand_sub-projects lists
postcodes as still to do - there may be some partial data there.

Nothing like bumping an ancient thread but has anyone written
anything to query the NZPost site? Curl or anything simila?
I gather they're considering building an API but nobody has
returned my calls so I have no idea if it's imminent (so hang
fire) or shelved (so build something).
thanks

NZ Post's Postcode finder could do with a hand - eg a
search for "Seaview Road, Piha" produces a postcode of
0200 (that would be /Paihia/, Bay of Islands). The same
search details work on all the overseas mapping sites
I've tried.
Searches on NZ Post with 'Town/City' set to "Waitakere",
"Henderson", "Auckland" all produce no results. The
correct answer is (obviously)
