Mailboxes are a thing in all of New Zealand, but in rural parts of the country you can both send post from and receive mail to your mailbox. You put a flag up on the side if sending and it let's the postie know to stop and collect the contents.
Mailboxes are an opportunity to be artistic, creative, avant garde, or 'send messages' in ways considerably less conservatively than folks tend to build and decorate houses.
Hate a mailbox and it is relatively easy and low cost to change.
Even in town post never comes through a slit in your door.
