This was my latest order from Amazon AU.

 

I ordered something from Amazon AU a week ago that was supposed to arrive today. They haven't even got around to shipping it yet, grrr.

 

Whereas my order from amazon US with some printer filament and a new stapler arrived today way earlier than they said it would do.

Would you believe it? (Yup - Unfortunately NZPost are not efficient these days!)

It's just luck of the draw, here is a chart of my last month or so Urban parcels, this is taken from tracking data, pickup to delivery, except that Friday pickups get 2 days subtracted for the weekend (so in other words, this is "Working Days Plus Holidays")

My Amazon AU parcel arrived overnight once they finally shipped it, picked up 3pm Sydney yesterday, delivered 10am today. Man, DHL is impressive!

 

 

Meanwhile, Aramex have so far taken over a week to not get some cabling I need from one side of the harbour bridge to the other.

I just had the exact same experience, my eyes popped out of my head when I saw it was in the country and ready for delivery when I woke up this morning - the due date was next Monday. I had opted to pay the extra $3 for expedited but even with the estimated date I wasn't expecting that with the generally slow AU > NZ route.

 

I had ordered something from the US which I was happy to see being send standard DHL, until I found out they off load the lower cost shipping to another agent once it arrives here that is famously slow.

Pinged Aramex and whaddya know, it turned up this morning, after I bugged them about sitting on it for a week.

Some good news - I've sent two items (via NZ Post and, in turn, Courier Post) this week. I was told delivery time of "2-3 working days", both recipients received them the next day.

 

One was in the SI, one in Wellington. Well done NZ Post!

Received a Nespresso email tonight at 8.18pm to say my order has been sent, and "here are the tracking details".

 

CourierPost already DELIVERED the order at 8.26AM this morning.

 

I checked the Nespresso site at 7 this morning and it showed as "Processing" NOT Shipped!

 

Well done CourierPost. Delivery before being sent!

On the other side of the delivery coin (ie pickups not deliveries) I arranged for a pickup (NZ Post), clicked the submit button and in less than a couple of minutes I had the courier knocking on the door wondering where the parcel was...I was still packaging/labeling it!!...totally amazed on how prompt some of them can be - although this undoubtedly was luck of the draw in that he was literally outside the house when the order came in. Asked him to come back later (which he did) :D

Sounds more like an issue on Nespresso's end if they're sending out delayed emails. Wonder if it was a batch job gone wrong.

Waiting on 3 CourierPost Deliveries:

 

Not a lot of movement towards Christchurch! Or meeting their totally unrealistic "expected delivery" timeframes!

Pretty sure NZ Post ChCh Airport depot is in a bit of a state...

 

many items arriving and being held....waiting to "go over the belt"....

 

Pretty much a bottleneck...
