NZ Post is closing more than 140 service counters inside urban convenience stores, pharmacies and libraries around the country.
It said the current network was bigger than it should be, with fewer people sending letters and more sending parcels.
Around 560 post shops would remain open.
NZ Post said it would upgrade some of the stores and open new hubs for parcel sending and collection.
It said 90 percent of people living in urban areas would still be within four kilometres of a post shop.
Rural post shops would not be affected.
