New Zealand Post said today all operations in Christchurch will remain suspended until Monday, when they will be further reviewed.

The suspension includes Christchurch Mail Centre operations, postal and courier deliveries, box lobbies and PostShop Kiwibank stores.

"We have decided to continue the suspension of operations at this time so we can fully assess the safety and wellbeing of our staff and their families, support staff personally affected by this terrible disaster and check the structural integrity of our premises," Group Chief Executive Brian Roche said.

Mr Roche said options were being reviewed for alternative ways of getting mail to South Island centres whose mail is processed at the Christchurch Mail Centre.

For Christchurch customers, mail and parcels will be held until deliveries resume.

PostShop Kiwibank stores owned by New Zealand Post will remain closed until each has undergone a structural audit and cleared for resumption of business.

Franchisees wil decide when services resume at franchised stores and PostCentre outlets.
