Christmas shopping is synonymous with madness. And while you may have gotten in early and avoided the crowds at your local mall, have you got those gifts for family and friends living afar in the post yet?
With the big day just around the corner, New Zealand Post has released the sending and delivery dates for international and internal mail over the Christmas period.
NZ Post Service Delivery Chief Operating Officer, Ashley Smout recommends people check mailing deadlines and delivery targets for all postal products.
"A little planning will go a long way in making sure postal items arrive when they need to over the festive season.
"It pays to allow one to two extra working days for delivery when sending mail over the Christmas and New Year period because of the statutory holidays," said Smout.
