Update of Maori Performing Arts non-issue

About the status of the stock All stock
that had been dispatched to PostShops

was recalled and has been returned.

Stock anticipated to be in circulation

over time In addition to samples that are

always kept on file for archival purposes,

and on the basis that our destruction

processes which are still
underway are completed as expected,
our reconciliation of all stock has shown
that eight orders to customers who had placed
casual orders for a variety of products,
including the Maori Performing Arts Stamps,
were fulfilled in error.

Forward requests for these eight orders
were processed and the mistake that occurred,
which enabled these orders to be supplied,
was due to human error.

Our processes have now been reviewed
and steps have been put in place
so that this error cannot occur again.

Along with the eight customer orders,
product was given to one of the Advisers
used in the creation of the product.

Additionally, we supplied 48 blank New Zealand
Post first day cover envelopes to some customers.

This is a normal practice in respect of these
customers who choose to take the blank
envelopes to their local PostShop on the
day of issue, purchase stamps of their choice
and have the issue cancelled at their local PostShop.
As is normal, these were sent well in advance
of the scheduled release for the series.

Therefore the product known to be
in circulation is as follows:
I wish I was one of the lucky ones
to have got something.

The Post have telephoned or written to
the recipients of the non-issued stamp
products and have asked them to return
the items that were sent.

what I would like to know is will these stamp
be worth any thing being that they are not
going to be released and if you was one
on the lucky one to happen to get the stamp
would you send them back if they ask you
to, me I would have to say that I would
not send them back I order them and paid
for them it would not be my fault that they
are not going to issue that stamps now.

Here you can read where I first reported
that the stamps was not to be issued.
