Postal cut off dates near

NZ Post says Kiwis need to check ‘international send deadlines’ to take advantage of the most cost-effective way to get Christmas presents overseas.

International dates vary depending on the destination and the chosen delivery service, but those who want to take advantage of the economy international service will need to send items this month.

A parcel destined for the South Pacific, Europe, Asia or the UK using the economy option needs to be posted by Friday November 24 – with the rest of the world set at Monday November 20. Cut-off dates for courier and express items can be found on nzpost.co.nz – along with other helpful information for sending overseas.

Last year, NZ Post delivered more than 18 million items domestically and internationally in the eight weeks leading up to Christmas.
