Just got a bunch of emails from NZPost advising my parcel has now arrived in NZ, cleared customs and is in transit to local depot. Went from not knowing where in the world Carmen Sandiego it is to almost being on my doorstep very quickly.
Im guessing that tracking is on the piss, but things are moving, albeit slowly. It would've been nice for NZPost to communicate this though, instead of fobbing me off. Thats all I wanted, some clear communication.
In contrast, I can also concur that AliX stuff is arriving quicker than ever, i've had things ordered and arrive during lockdown. Faster than getting things from Trademe.
