Hi Yauyau, I apologise for not responding to your question! Yes, we operate the Arrowtown Post Office but just the retail side of things. The mail is collected by a New Zealand Post employee and they take over the logistics of the postal service from there. Our mail is processed in a large New Zealand Post centre in Christchurch. There should have been a postmark on your cards - they must have just unfortunately been missed by the machine somehow. I hope you enjoyed your time in Arrowtown and New Zealand.
