Courier parcels and mail
Last updated: 11:10am, 21 October.
Heavy rain and adverse weather conditions are affecting deliveries in the lower North Island and upper South Island. Deliveries will continue where it is safe to do so, however please expect minor delays for both mail and parcel deliveries.
Unplanned maintenance has disrupted the transport of items travelling by sea to the Chatham Islands. We are working to minimise disruption by implementing additional third-party air capacity. However, capacity is constrained due to increased volumes travelling by air; please expect delays of at least 7 working days for mail and parcels. We will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates as more information becomes available.
