This page is updated as the situation changes, which may not be daily.
We're continuing to process above forecasted volumes due to Black Friday sales, this has led to delays of 1-2 days in Auckland and 1 working day for the rest of the country. Our teams are working hard to deliver significant volumes of items during this busy time of year. We appreciate your patience as we strive to get parcels and mail delivered as quickly and safely as possible.
