Postage to New Zealand.

Buffy Somers, 10 November, 2008 at 10:57 Posted on Off Topic Posts 0 4

Three weeks ago I ordered some baby items to go to my best friend in New Zealand - they still have not arrived. Judging by the amount of postage I paid (four pounds) it was overland, not air mail. Do you think I should wait a little longer, or is there any way I can perhaps contact Royal Mail and enquire?. I have never had parcels go astray between N.Z and the U.K before, so am not sure what I can do?.

    Did you actually say 'send this airmail please' when you took it in?

    Stuff generally arrives within a week, but we've had even airmail stuff take the better part of a month before now, in either direction, for no apparent reason. Unless you've sent it by one the tracking services (recorded/airsure type stuff) there's very little you can do.

    It also could have been opened by customs which sometimes happens and delays the item getting to the person

    Three weeks isn't that long for it to be delayed really airmail can take 1-2 weeks even without a delay

    Cheers all. I ordered it from a website, it was sent from there. I guess I'll wait another couple of weeks and see what happens.
