At the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment, a spokeswoman said the department did not have any formal policy in place. It was not an issue at this point in time, she said.
An Inland Revenue spokesman also said the department did not have a policy in place, and staff members were welcome to have online shopping delivered to work.
At the Bank of New Zealand there were also no rules or policies in place.
The same applied for telecommunications company Spark, who said while there were no rules in place, employees were encouraged to apply "common sense".
A spokeswoman for New Zealand Post could not comment on whether Kiwis were being deterred from having goods delivered to their workplace, as the company didn't capture that kind of data.
"If it has an address, we deliver it. We haven't had companies ringing us to say don't deliver here."
Spokesman for the Retail Association Greg Harford, said online shopping and the delivery of goods bought online was already huge - and it was growing.
He said 58 per cent of people over the age of 18 in New Zealand were now shopping online.
"It's growing all the time. Online shopping is part of the way people live and shop now.
"It is really convenient for people to shop at work, shop on the bus, shop in the lounge at night. Online is now a really key part of shopping... people love it."
Customers were looking for more convenient ways to have their goods delivered, he said.
"One of the key issues if you have your parcel delivered at home, and you're not there, if stuff is left in the letterbox it can go astray.
"What we are seeing, is certainly overseas, and increasing here, is the development of click and collect services."
This allowed customers to buy their goods online, and then head into stores to pick them up.
"The other thing to note, is New Zealand Post is responding to increased demand," Mr Harford said.
"Customers definitely want the goods delivered to where they are."
New services offered
Following an increase in online shopping, New Zealand Post now offers a range of services to their customers.
• Customers can utilise an evening delivery service, meaning morning purchases are delivered later that evening. There is also a same day delivery service.
• Customers sending parcels overseas can print postage online to save time, and then drop parcels in drop boxes in a Post Shop.
• Courier Post staff can also collect parcels from customers to be sent away.
• You Shop is a service which allows customers to utilise a delivery address in the UK, so brands which do not ship to New Zealand can still be accessed.
• Parcel Pod lockers have been introduced in five cities. Customers receive a text or email when their parcel has been delivered, with either a code for electronic lockers, or instructions to pick up a key to access manual lockers.
• If customers are not available to pick up their parcels, they can have it delivered to their work during the day by adding a re-delivery address, have it delivered on a Saturday, or collect it from a Courier Post or Post Shop.
