Mine seem to be a tossup between Aramex and DHL.

Hopefully, I don't jinx myself, but I've never, despite having literally dozens and dozens of parcels from Amazon, many with DPD, had a delivery late. Usually, if anything, they arrive early. 

An item shipped today via DPD from the US, ETA 26th. I'll update as to how I get on. 

It probably helps I am shipping to a business address, not a Residential, and it's central Auckland.

Have had amazing experiences, meta quest 4 days from Australia, returning it back to Amazon as faulty however took a month via  DHL/NZ post . The paper work I had to complete was insane , even though Amazon gives you everything you need to print out NZ post doesn’t accept it. I did 4 forms in the end $44 to return it and took over a month from wellington to Melbourne 

Mine are aramex as the last delivery. Both .com.au things that come from the US, and ones from the UK.

Not sure why people here are talking about DPD. All my Amazon orders have arrived through DHL.

 

Are you using free delivery or express delivery?

Ok so latest update from Aramex is "Your parcel is in our care".... Well isn't that nice 😉

 

Four Amazon purchases (3 from Amazon Australia, one from Amazon US) over past 10 days have all arrived. Aramex was on the delivery sticker. The packaging was fine (no damage, no weird mixing of orders). This is reassuring, if it persists.

Good luck with your order.

My Amazon USA deliveries usually come via DPD, handed over to Aramex when they reach New Zealand, and they usually arrive promptly. You often can't find the NZ tracking number until they get it. Once something didn't turn up and was declared lost, but a month later Aramex turned up with it and the logs said it spent a month with MPI. Other Aramex deliveries arrive eventually, not near as fast as Amazon deliveries.

My Amazon AU deliveries come via NZPost the whole way 90% of the time, or 10% of the time with DHL if they're not going to make their delivery target with NZPost. NZPost are pretty good, 3-7 days usually, DHL is one to two days.

This would be funny if it wasn't so sad - Looks like a driver returned the parcel without attempting to deliver. In fact they even sent me an email at 7:42 am to confirm delivery today.

• Onboard for delivery 19/07/2024 - 07:42:07
• Your parcel is in our care 19/07/2024 - 09:32:40

We'll have to wait and see what happens, but they've had this parcel at their local depot now for 5 days. so I'm not expecting much.

So I checked today. It's cleared customs in NZ and I expect delivery on Monday, latest Tuesday, around 5 days ahead of schedule, and STILL faster than my last delivery from Newmarket to Grey Lynn. 

Latest shipping status from a few orders:

None of these have actually shipped yet, but they seem remarkably confident about when they'll arrive.

So one delivery arrived today. No signature - but Amazon doesn't require that.

What is the issue is no knock on the door and no one rang the doorbell..

Really what is it with door bells in NZ? Almost no one I know will ever ring a doorbell!!!

Door bell?  What are you, some kind of foreigner?  Everyone knows that the door etiquette is to knock and then, in the absence of any response, call out "hellooooooo" a few times.

Stu: 

Aramex never knock on our door, or ring the doorbell. It's always a dump and run. Usually the item is placed against the screen door, so retrieving the package from inside the house is often awkward.

And then when you complain you get a note about improving their driver training and that this wont "happen again".
