Mail deadlines take guesswork out of gift-giving this Christmas
New Zealand Post has released its domestic and international mailing deadlines for letters and gifts, including YouShop parcels, ahead of the Christmas rush.
“Figuring out when to post your presents doesn’t need to be guesswork,” says New Zealand Post General Manager of eCommerce and Customer Solutions, Dr Sohail Choudhry.
“Whether you are sending within New Zealand or internationally our mailing deadlines provide guidance for selecting the service that meets your needs.”
New Zealand Post has also released the delivery target for its popular online shipping service YouShop.
“New Zealand Post wants customers to receive their gifts in time for Christmas.
“At this time of year the postal network is in overdrive. To avoid disappointment we advise that customers take note of mailing deadlines,” Dr Choudhry said.
