Personal sending pricing changes from 1 July 2025​

We want to be able to continue delivering what Kiwis care about well into the future. However, like many other businesses in New Zealand, we need to adapt to the changing market, with the evolving demand for parcel delivery and the continued decline in mail volumes.

So, to maintain our service quality and continue improving, we’re making adjustments to our prices from 1 July 2025 (unless specified otherwise).

See our questions and answers for more information.

* Required postage is the amount that must be included on an envelope or parcel in order for NZ Post to carry that envelope or parcel across its network. If paying by stamps, GST must be added. The increase in RRP of some postage included envelopes may differ from the increase in postage due to increases in other supplier costs.
