Domestic Delivery Updates

Friday 2 May - Weather disruption impacting lower North Island and parts of South Island

Large parts of the country were hit yesterday by harsh weather and flooding from heavy rain, this has led to states of emergency being declared in Christchurch, Banks Peninsula, and Selwyn District (these remain in place on Friday morning).

The Wellington area has also been experiencing severe weather conditions.

Overnight there was some disruption to our air-network, meaning that some inter-island freight will be delivered later than usual today, and some items will be delayed (meaning a Monday delivery).  For updates on individual courier items, please click here for track and trace.

In all areas impacted by flooding and high-winds including Wellington and Christchurch (+ Banks Peninsula & Selwyn District), safety of our couriers and the general public will be the primary factor in deciding whether courier deliveries/pick-ups can be achieved.

Our team are working hard to keep courier items moving around New Zealand, and the vast majority of items continue to move.  Again... for updates on individual courier items, please click here for track and trace.

Specific Canterbury Impacts...

Christchurch - localised surface flooding in some areas may cause delays, limited service impact.

Selwyn area - Slower drive times to poor driving conditions, limited service impact.

Banks Peninsula - no service to Akaroa as road to Peninsula is closed from Birdling Flat.


Wednesday 30 April - 2-day Inter-Island Road Freight Delays

Likely delays with 2-day Inter-Island Road Freight - There is currently a storm warning in place for the Cook Strait with significant wind and swell expected over the next 3 days.

Ferry services are cancelling sailings from later today which will cause significant delays to the 2-day road network, 2-day freight picked up from today will likely not be available for branches to deliver till early next week.

Dangerous Goods (DG's) moving Inter-Island will also be delayed, as these travel by Road / Ferry (we do not move DG's via our air network).

Next day Inter-Island delivery via our air network should not be impacted by these delays.
