Get in early to make sure your Christmas parcels make it through the post on time.
That's the message from New Zealand Post, which has released its sending and delivery dates today to help people plan for the festive season.
International parcels will need to be sent by early December and an early-bird special is on for people ready to send their mail before November 15.
Domestic post should still make it if it's mailed before December 18.
Posties will not be delivering mail on: Christmas Day and Boxing Day, New Year's Day and the day after (January 2).
