NZ Post received requests from 26 stores to review its decisions, with 10 stores successful. However, not all postal services will be offered at these stores, with some not offering parcel collection or lockboxes. The Karori community came together to push for the reversal, making submissions to NZ Post directly opposing the decision. Hogg understood her post shop to be the more popular of just two services in Karori, home to 18,000 residents. The petrol station down the road was initially chosen by NZ Post as the only shop in the suburb to keep its postal services.
