why would of it departed Auckland? maybe just to the mail handling centre

I had a simialr thing.

ring nzpost, the usps I think hands it over to NZpost.

what was it in your case @steven

"why would of it departed Auckland? maybe just to the mail handling centre"

At that point it gets handed to NZ post and USPS stops tracking it.

If you ring NZ post and quote your tracking number you should find its on the way.

I had some Enfield sights sent via USPS and it looked just like this but even more tortious, It took 2 weeks to leave the US from the time the guy posted it.

Start the track on www.nzpost.co.nz , that's who it's with now. The "departed Auckland"will be the transfer to the mail system. Be prepared to wait a week, if not longer as the postal system can take ages since they consider a USPS parcel as a low priority.

It goes through the Intl Mail Distribution Center at the Intl Airport. Goes from there to the NZ Post Distribution Center at HighBrook ( on the Tamaki Estuary ).
When it enters the NZ Post system it's given another tracking #, the prefix of which will match the despatch priority it had out of the U.S.
0800 736 353 or 0800 501 501 are the NZ Post numbers.
They get you to put in your tracking # without any prefix.
If you're still in Helensville I'd expect delivery this week, unless they've been passed to Customs, in which case you'll get a letter from them in due course........

I've been waiting on a parcel. Says it cleared NZ customs on the 27th, Nek Minit, next log in the tracking says landed in Sydney on the 29th. Hope it finds its way back to NZ soon.

Some shipments are pre-cleared, on the basis of content and value by the handler.
This precedes the actual arrival of the goods in NZ and " expedites " the process.....not saying this has happened in your case but it's standard practice .

That makes sense. It supposedly landed in NZ the day after it left the US. Possible of course, but unlikely without paying extra for the shipping. It is apparently back in NZ today, four days from being shipped by the seller. Still pretty good going I would say.

been keeping on eye on nz post as well just says Left country of origin
that may change tomorrow as its a week day if it doesn't ill ring them in the arvo

We are talking 2 days ago yes?? And we had a weekend yes?? I would say without panicking you will have it wed/Thurs. I would panic if it has been in nz and you still dont have it 2 weeks after getting here not 2 days. I know ya can't wait etc but no point stressing

yep not worried as yet but I did give nz post a ring this morning and they had no record of it entering the country

my molds came today safe and sound

Thank fuk for that. Now we can all got some sleep :cool:

my parcel has been stuck in the Netherlands for a week :pissed off:

Actually been surprised how quickly packages are being shipped and processed this close to Xmas. USPS and DHL are still my favourite carriers. I had one package take 3 days from purchase till it was sitting on my desk ex China. Crazy!

I had a parcel sent from California left LA went to Canada from Canada back to LA back to Canada, Canada to LA finally LA to Auckland only took 28 days
last parcel from the same supplier only 6 days, best off shore parcel service has been Japan faster and cheaper than the US, some American sellers like making
money on the freight, all ways check the total price including freight, I am looking at a Bushnell TRS red dot the cheapest price is not the best buy the freight is
$10.00 more than the second cheapest price making it $4.00 more, and the freight on that is $17.00 more than it should be.
