Hi

Recently I have bought some things from Hong Kong from different companies. Neither of them have arrived. At least one is reliable and my friend has received everything he has ordered from them. My question is, have I typed my address wrong?

Address line 1: ** ******** ****
Address line 2: Manly
Postal Code: 0930
City: Auckland
State/Province: Auckland (I think this might be Whangaparaoa, but I am not sure)
Country: New Zealand

If I have typed anything wrong, please tell me. THanks

Going by the NZ Post Address/Postcode finder https://www.nzpost.co.nz/tools/address-postcode-finder, the correct address is:


Address Line 1:  NNN  Street Name    Street Type
Area:                Manly
Suburb:             Whangaparaoa     0930


Address Line 2 is technically reserved for 'RD#', however it's possible that 'Manly' actually replaces that (I'm not 100% sure)

Personally with those fields, I'd fill in:


Address Line 1:  NNN Street Name  Street Type
Address Line 2:  Manly
Post Code:         0930
City:                 Whangaparaoa
State/Province:  Auckland   (Esp if it's once of the old style international forms that force Auckland)
Country:            New Zealand


Otherwise, I'd follow NZ Post's lead, skip Auckland completely, Manly as City, Whangaparaoa as State/Province because that is what NZ Post now say it should be for 'Post'.

Honestly though, NZ Post/Customs are going to find you if you've got your: House Number, Street, 'Manly', Postcode, and Auckland. Trust me, they can track people down with less.  You should consider calling them and starting a lost parcel/letter investigation (the sender might need to do that).
