I ordered a couple of boxes of contact lenses from clearly.co.nz yesterday (Monday). The order confirmation gave an estimated delivery date of Friday. They shipped same day from Sydney on DHL and were delivered today, Tuesday.

 

I don't really understand how they manage to do this, but this has been the pattern for past orders too.

DHL have their own planes so they don’t have to rely on other airlines for transport

I’ve always had excellent service from DHL, they’re by far the most consistent and efficient

I am not having to email anywhere as many tracking numbers as late last year so I think that they have their act together, or people are just now so used to it they wait a few extra days before following up about things.

A month since it "arrived" in country. 2 weeks since I queried it, and nothing's changed

 

Now I'm getting radio silence from nz post regarding my query about it. methinks it's lost.

I got some heatsinks from Ali in a bit over a week which was really impressive. OTOH the power line signal injector spent two weeks in transit after departing the Middle Kingdom and has now spent another week in the "arrived Auckland" state.

 

 

Still, I'm impressed at Ali's performance with their bog-standard shipping, they quote around two months but get it here in a week, in the middle of a Covid meltdown and the Chinese new year.

Finally, a response!

 

It's taken following up via twitter to get a response that wasn't "we're waiting on our international team to reply" from nz post. They will be compensating me for my parcel.

Wow, given Auckland's weather woes, and CourierPost's delays:

 

Ordered some items yesterday on TM.

 

Sent via CourierPost. Once picked up, NZPost showed expected delivery today in Christchurch.

 

I didn't give it any hope of arriving today as I had not received anything overnight from Auckland for years!

 

It has already arrived! Wow!

So compensation comes through today, $109.08. The invoices I sent them totaled $103.27. Go figure

 

At this point I'm glad to be done having to chase them for updates
