I placed order on the same day but different time but I see the tracking all arrived into nz the same day and all being flag as inspected by custom since 20 May. Just worry if they will ask to pay GST over 1k again. If they need the importer code , the custom will email me or the supplier will contact me directly ? It’s from Pop Mart Official Store Ali Express. 

 

 

Assuming the items were sent via regular post, you will likely get a letter via snail mail asking you to pay. If a courier service was used, they will normally contact you via phone or e-mail. You can obtain a copy of the receipt from the order page on AliExpress if you need documentation to show you've already paid the GST.

 

For details on obtaining a Customs Number, see this page... https://www.customs.govt.nz/personal/send-and-receive-items/customs-number/

 

 

 

 

Yes they are using Post Haste from the final tracking number that show .

If you are doing many small orders again, load separate delivery addresses on aliexpress. This seems to stop them consolidating them.

 

Or place the order at least 2 days apart. I have found that 1 day may still get consolodated

 

 

 

 

Did you need to pay tax for multiple small item but exceed 1k before ?

A bunch of different shaped rubber seals to try and get one that will bodge-fit the Haier dishwasher that has a non-replaceable seal.

 

Choice items, sent combined, with Cainaio, so I was expecting it to be Post Haste, gave them my street address... of course it turns up NZ Post.

 

Gah, I wish they would make up their mind instead of it being a lucky-dip which courier will get the privilege.

I have just had a temu order split between nzpost for 2 parcels, and imile for another 2 of them. Seems the 1 metre long LED channels got upgraded to nzpost - perhaps they wouldnt fit into the imile drivers aqua.

I got one of these (from Temu for all of $5).  Really happy with it.  I assigned the knob to volume, one button to play/pause, next button to next song, and the third button to switch audio adapters.  I almost wish I had gotten a 6 button one now. My last order turned up with everything I need for a project except the glue which is rather important to it all!

Couple small things, but basically some miniSAS to SAS cables for my HBA card in my unraid server and some nicer sata power cables. 

Why? Because I got given 3x low usage 3.84TB HPE SAS SSDs. Always happy to put more SSD storage in that puppy.
