Did you complain to the sender that it had not arrived? We at work will generally request a redirection back to us in those cases when we send a replacement item out.

I've been issued Heisenberg's tracking number for one of my shipments. Every time I refresh the tracking info (after at least a few hours wait from the last time) I get a different status: Sent from warehouse, Delivered in June 2024, Waiting for delivery in Croatia, Undeliverable, Left the airport, In a sorting centre in Brazil, you name it.

Two more shipments, one has now been sitting out at the airport for longer than it took to get here from China, the other has been on MPI (so ag and fish) hold for nearly a week now. The item: A test cable for a logic analyser, shipped from Australia.

I had one "delayed" yesterday... for 56 minutes, then it was out for delivery.

My cables from Aus have now been in MPI hold for ten days. No notification, nothing, if I wasn't tracking things myself I'd have no idea what was up.

I'll call NZ Post on Monday and ask them W/T/F, I assumed it was just some glitch that would correct itself but it looks like I'll never get them if I don't take action.

I wonder if Post Haste qualifies as a worse courier service than the much-derided Aramex? So far it's taken them three days (and still waiting) to get a parcel across town. Better than Mainfreight who are just short of a week for the same thing, but they're not a standard courier service.

By contrast I can't complain about Post Haste too much.

Aliexpress and other ordered items are sent to our mailing address in Christchurch.

Once or twice a month those goodies are packed into a bag and courier collected via Post Haste ( Pass the Parcel) then sent to the depot nearest our actual location. In the last 7 years or so it has never taken more than two working days.

Online payment yesterday at 1.10pm, pickup in Christchurch at 2.32pm yesterday.

Delivered to their agent - the Coromandel Lotto store at 8.22 this morning. In my hands before 9am.

Adding:

They all must be in cahoots with each other to some extent.

As per my previous post 3 packages were delivered to the Coromandel Post Haste depot yesterday morning including one from a fellow GZ member.

The Christchurch Pass the Parcel (Post Haste) bag was collected by a NZ Couriers van.

Yesterday morning at about 8.15am I received a phone call from a Post Haste driver advising me that he had 3 packages on board that were being delivered to the Post Haste Depot.

1 x Pass the Parcel

1x Courier Post

1 x NZ Couriers

I wonder who owns what and the arrangements they all have?

Pretty much all parcels I sent in the last couple of months seem to be impacted. I raised two tickets and in both case the parcels were delayed in Auckland (one of them for a week),

Last week sent something to Dunedin, with delivery promised for Wednesday. It's Friday and it hasn't arrived yet.

Took a week to get a small envelope in a bag Auckland to Christchurch recently on NZ Post. Terrible.

I wonder if Post Haste long-distance uses a different service to Post Delayste cross-town? Now on day 4 and it's supposedly on board for delivery, but that's pretty bad to get it across town. OTOH NZ Post have been very quick delivering Ali shipments, on the order of one day between landed in NZ and delivered.

All three of those are Freightways brands, along with a load of others
