Couriers designate certain areas of the world as remote areas, these areas are harder to reach for delivery than main cities and towns. As they take longer to reach couriers charge extra to cover the extra travel and time costs to deliver to these places. In New Zealand, both Northland and Wharehine are considered to be remote areas. If you book courier services to a remote area, the extra charges will be added to your basket before you check out.
Any item you send to New Zealand is subject to customs charges unless the value of the item is under NZ$400. Different types of products fall under different custom duty rates, check the New Zealand customs site for more information and specific rates.
Gifts are exempt from customs duty and taxes if the value of the gift falls under NZ$110. You may have to provide proof that the gift is genuine.
At ParcelHero, we have our own list of items that we prohibit from sending anywhere. Check that list before you book any delivery. New Zealand also have a list of prohibited items that cannot cross their borders under any circumstances. This list is long and includes brushes containing animal hair, laser pointers, money and objectionable materials. Read their full list of prohibited items before you book a delivery with ParcelHero.
New Zealand is a little different from other countries when it comes to addressing parcels. The nation has many rural areas that require a different address format to ensure a successful parcel delivery. What follows is a typical urban address example:
James Brown [recipient]
Flat 2 [apartment number]
125 Queen Street [house number + street name]
Johnsonville [suburb (only in some addresses)]
Auckland [city]
0620 [postal code]
NEW ZEALAND
A rural address is likely to have other lines in it, this is relative to the specific address that your parcel will be delivered to. Check with the intended recipient before booking a delivery to ensure a successful delivery.
There are 11 days when ParcelHero will not collect or deliver parcels in New Zealand.

Be sure to check for holidays when booking a delivery, to make sure that your parcel won’t face any delays.
