BIG ENGLISH MAIL.
BOOKS 'SENT 'BY PO'S'T
An unusually large British and American mail for /New Zealand is due at Auckland by the steamer Niagara, to arrive to-morrow. The mail consists of '2500 bags, which is about 1000 more than is usually brought to New Zealand in one ship. /It probably in'cludes a large quantity of parcels containing booksellers’ goods. Merchants prefer to have their goods sent from England and America iby parcel mail, as it is cheaper and quicker than freight, and packages by parcel mail are less likely to be pillaged 1 , as they are generally carried in special compartments. Another advantage of the parcel mail service is that the goods are delivered at the merchant’s door, whereas if sent as freight delivery would have to be taken at the ship’s side.
