CHRISTCHURCH PHILATELIC SALES
Christchurch stamp collectors have been lucky over the past 3 decades to have had a local Philatelic Sales Branch of New Zealand Post from which to purchase current New Zealand stamps, first day covers and other philatelic requirements. We have also been lucky with the calibre of the philatelic staff concerned.
Current Philatelic staff member Joan Merryweather and manager Terry McQuinn.
| The Philatelic Sales has recently shifted from the Historic Christchurch Chief Post Office building at 15 Cathedral Square to a new location on the South side of Cathedral Square in the ANZ building. Opening Hours are 8.30am to 6pm Monday to Friday. On weekends the post shop is also open for shorter hours Major Credit Cards are accepted |

The Christchurch Philatelic Sales also operates as the Ross Dependency Philatelic Agency and postmarks all mail posted in the Ross Dependency in the Antarctic which is brought to Christchurch for datestamping and onwards transmission. |
