New Zealand Post is New Zealand’s main postal service, with roots going back to the 1830s and operating as New Zealand Post Limited since 1987. To send mail from the UK to New Zealand you can use Royal Mail’s international airmail service; the cost depends on the weight and format of your item.
New Zealand’s postal service has been running for around 170 years and is the country’s main postal provider. Since the 1830s, New Zealand postal services have met the mailing needs of the country’s citizens. The service began when the first post office opened in Kororareka, when William Clayton Hayes was appointed Postmaster.
In 1987, the New Zealand Post company was created, and it remains the main postal service provider in New Zealand today. Although the market is open to competition, New Zealand Post is still the number one postage provider in the country.
It provides a similar postal service to Royal Mail in the UK or USPS in the USA. You can use Royal Mail’s international service to send mail to New Zealand by airmail; the price depends on the weight and size of your item and whether you use stamps or a franking machine. Franked mail is cheaper to send than stamps.
New Zealand Post works with several companies that help deliver the postal service across the country, including Kiwibank, Express Couriers Limited and Localist, so the service runs effectively and efficiently for customers and businesses in New Zealand.
