NZ Post asks customers to change how they shop
NZ Post is asking customers to start planning their Christmas shopping now to relieve pressure on parcel delivery services, which are "busier than ever" in Auckland.
A 90 per cent surge in online shopping in Auckland because of lockdown restrictions has led to delivery services being pushed to the limit. In response to the demand, NZ Post has gone from delivering 440,000 parcels per week in Auckland to more than 740,000.
