Courier parcels and mail

Last updated: 11:30am, 21 March.

The Air Network and Road Network experienced some disruption on Thursday 20 March due to unplanned aircraft maintenance and a road incident in Pirongia, in the Waikato. This has impacted the transportation of some parcels, which may delay the delivery of parcels by up to 1 working day in the following areas:

  • North Island: from Auckland to Wellington
  • Inter-island: the lower North Island, and Christchurch metro

This page is updated as the situation changes, which may not be daily.
