How it works
Can you redirect mail for free?
You can't redirect your mail for free, but you can either pay to redirect your mail or update your address across all providers at the same time.
Contact our Customer Care Team 0800 COURIER (0800 268 7437) Our Customer Care Centre is open 7am-6pm Monday to Friday and can be contacted on 0800 268 7437.
When should you notify post office of change of address?
First Things First… You can make the Change of Address process faster and easier by notifying everyone who sends you mail of your new address and the date of your move, two weeks before you move. Most bills and statements have an area for making an address change notification.
Whether you're moving permanently or temporarily, we recommend changing your address at least two weeks before Moving Day. This will give USPS enough time to send you the Move Validation Letter before the trucks arrive.17-Mar-2022

Is courier post the same as NZ Post?
CourierPost and Pace were already NZ Post brands. We are now unifying these parts of our brand under NZ Post so our customers have one place for all their delivery needs.
If another person's package was delivered to the wrong address at your doorstep, you should contact the courier company in charge of delivery. The courier company will then rearrange the transfer to the right recipient.04-Feb-2020
Why is NZ Post so slow?
There are currently some delays with international deliveries. The COVID-19 pandemic is still causing delays to some parcels coming in and out of New Zealand due to reduced airfreight capacity and processing delays in certain countries.24-Apr-2022
