NZ Post is delivering about 2.2 million parcels per week in the final push before Christmas Day, with 16.9 million parcels expected to be delivered in total this season.
Chief customer officer Bryan Dobson says he’s proud of the way the teams are working around the clock to get Kiwis’ parcels under the tree in time.
“This is the busiest time of year for NZ Post, and we plan for the increased number of parcels well in advance.
“Last week we delivered 2.24 million parcels following the Black Friday sales – our biggest week of the year.
“This week we are expecting to deliver about 2.2 million parcels, and this will continue right up until Christmas Eve, when NZ Post couriers will be the last van in the driveway before Santa arrives.”
The deadlines for sending parcels are fast approaching. Economy and courier deadlines for sending overseas have passed with a small window left for the express deadline for some countries.
Customers still have a couple of days for sending parcels within New Zealand which need to be sent by December 18 for economy and December 20 for courier.
