Fragile and High Risk Items

There are some items (i.e. fragile and high risk items) that we will only agree to carry if you comply with our conditions of carriage for that item.

High Risk items may only be sent if you purchase additional compensation cover for the full value of the item. If you send a High Risk item and do not purchase additional cover/compensation, we are not liable in any way, and will not pay any compensation, for any loss of or damage to such items. High risk items include:

• Any item with contents valued at more than the standard compensation limit for the selected service;
• Jewellery, watches, precious metals or stones, collectibles, antiques, paintings, sculptures or other works of art;
• Stamps (un-used).

Fragile items can only be sent if they are packaged to withstand transport and handling.

A more detailed guide to the conditions of carriage for high risk and fragile items is contained in the Postal Users Guide and is also available by visiting Compensation and High Risk items, or in the ‘Making sure you’re covered’ brochure at your local New Zealand Post retail outlet.

If you give us for delivery any prohibited item, or any high risk or fragile item without purchasing additional cover/compensation, or in any other way you do not comply with the Postal Users Guide:

• you understand that we and our employees and agents are not liable to pay any compensation to you for any loss or damage to or delay in delivery of, that item; and
• you agree to pay us for any resulting liability, costs, damage or loss of any kind.

Return of Items

If you have indicated that you wish your item to be returned to you in the event of non-delivery:

• For items sent via International Express Courier, your package will be returned to us as your agent by the same method it was sent. You authorise us to accept receipt of the package.
• For items sent via International Economy Courier, International Air, International Air with Tracking, and/or International Economy, your package will be sent to us as your agent by post. You authorise us to accept the receipt of the package, which will constitute the return of the postal article to you for the purposes of the Postal Services Act 1998.

You will be liable for any duties, taxes or government charges associated with the return of the goods. Your package will be returned to you provided you pay the full costs of return. This cost may exceed the original cost of sending the article.

If you refuse to pay the return costs for your package, or if you cannot be contacted by us after a reasonable period of time, you agree that we may dispose of your returned package in whatever manner we deem fit. We reserve the right to recover the costs incurred by us even if the article has been destroyed after return to us.

If you have indicated that you wish your item to be treated as abandoned/destroyed, your item will be destroyed by the overseas carrier.

Packaging

Packaging is the responsibility of the Sender and provision of complimentary packaging and/or acceptance of an item by New Zealand Post does not free the Sender of responsibility. The Sender of an item is responsible for any damage caused to another item by their package.

You agree that we may open any package and inspect any item at any time.

Weight

The maximum weight of any item accepted by us for sending via International Air and International Economy is 20kgs. Lower weight limits may apply to certain services in certain countries.

The maximum weight of any item accepted by us for sending via International Express is 30kgs, however a maximum weight of 20kgs may apply at some postal acceptance points.

The maximum weight of any item accepted by us for sending via International Economy Courier is 30kgs.

Maximum dimensions also apply. Individual countries may have lower maximum weights or dimensions. We may reweigh your item at any time to confirm the chargeable weight. In relation to items sent via International Express, at our sole discretion, we may charge according to the actual or volumetric weight of an item.

A more detailed guide to the maximum weights and dimensions of items is contained in the Postal Users Guide

Customs Requirements and Duties

You are responsible for complying with Customs requirements, completing all Customs documentation and checking whether Customs duties or other charges are payable on your item.

The Receiver is responsible for payment of any Customs duties, sales taxes and other regulatory charges made by Customs authorities in the destination country in relation to the item. In the event of non-payment by the Receiver of such duties, taxes and charges, or if the item is undeliverable, you will be responsible for paying such duties, taxes and charges if they are not refundable.
