New Zealand Post is the New Zealand's national postal operator, providing shipping services both domestically and internationally. In addition to standard deliveries, it also handles package deliveries. As part of the EMS cooperative, New Zealand Post is an official operator for the delivery of EMS shipments.

The international postal regulations strictly prohibit the shipment of narcotics, psychotropic or explosive substances and materials, inflammable substances, or any other kind of danger. All shipping rules, including those that restrict dimensions, weight, and postal packaging, can be found on the CourierPost's website.

Which tracking numbers does New Zealand Post use?

Letters and parcels are sent with a CourierPost tracking number, which can be used to track the movement of the package. The sender may not register small packages and letters, in which case they will not have a tracking number.

The international postal identifier consists of an alphanumeric sequence:

  • RT123456785NZ: small package from New Zealand;

  • CA123456785NZ: shipment from New Zealand;

  • EE123456785NZ: express shipment from New Zealand.

According to the international format of the Universal Postal Union, the structure of the tracking number has a specific meaning for each letter and digit:

  • First letter R/C/E: indicates the type of shipment. A CourierPost tracking number that starts with the letter R (Registered) designates registered small packages;

  • 123456785: this numerical sequence provides a uniqueness;

  • NZ: refers to the country of the originating postal service.

Tracking of CourierPost postal packages

The longest pause in tracking shipments from New Zealand occurs between export and import. Without worrying, you can get an idea of where your package is at a certain point by tracking the CourierPost shipment on the Postal Ninja website with translation of all tracking statuses.

With a "package received" status, the recipient can be sure that it has been sent. After that, CourierPost shipments in transit go to a distribution center, where they are sorted and directed to the international mail exchange point. The CourierPost items are then cleared through customs and delivered to the designated postal operator in the destination country. This is known as the "export" tracking stage. Once imported, they go through a similar process in the destination country. The final tracking status indicates that the package has been delivered.
