Ferry Sailing Delays
Strong winds and large swells continue to disrupt Cook Strait ferry sailings, causing cancellations. This may cause up to 2 days delay for parcels travelling Southbound this week.
Otago Anniversary
In observance of the upcoming holiday of Otago Anniversary Day, please be advised that our Dunedin, Central South Island, Queenstown and Oamaru depots will be closed, and no parcels will be collected or delivered across these regions on Monday, 24 March.
We kindly ask you to expect an additional day in the delivery schedule for any parcels due for delivery in these regions on Monday, 24 March, due to the holiday closure.
Perishable Items: As delivery times will be extended, we recommend avoiding the shipment of perishable items.
Desert Road Closure
State Highway 1, Turangi to Waiouru (Desert Road), will be closed for repairs and rebuilding from 13 January 2025 for approximately two months. During this period, our linehaul units will use an alternative route to ensure deliveries remain on schedule. However, please note that some delays for parcels may still occur.
