Elpie: I sent a parcel to Canada and paid for it to go by courier, signature required. Delivery was supposed to take 2-5 days. Tracking showed it left NZ within a few days but it didn't enter Canada for six weeks. I was beginning to wonder if Courier Post had put it on a Malaysian Airlines flight! Exactly seven weeks after I dropped it off at the post office it was delivered in Canada (without a signature). It has apparently not been opened. I wish it could talk to tell us where it has been all this time.
Geektastic: I sent a box of stuff from Sydney to the UK via Sea Mail when I was there in 2005.
It has yet to arrive....
Geektastic: And yet operations such as FedEx etc can tell you what van, plane, truck or building your parcel is in at any time!!
What really gets me is the way everything stops at weekends in NZ. Very annoying. Your parcel arrives in Auckland on a Friday then just sits doing SFA until Monday. Unacceptable.

Uh, no. If the parcel is going through the sorting or transit process, that stuff still happens over the weekend. I've had parcels from elsewhere (overseas, down south) that have reached Auckland on a Saturday or Sunday because the actual supply chain is 7 days. It's only deliveries that halt over the weekend, unless Saturday Delivery is purchased for the package. An optional service, incidentally, which must be purchased if you want your package delivered on a Saturday in almost all countries including your beloved UK (disclaimer that non-guaranteed delivery services seem to include Saturday as a working day for some reason, but they don't guarantee delivery anyway).
Seriously, I do not understand why you persist in being so negative about NZ. If you hate it so much, why stay?
