Hi Val I live in NZ and when my mum was alive her letters always seemed to arrive on a Tuesday taking only 5 days. Margaret

About 7-10 days (for parcels too). Mind you, if you allowed enough time for it to get there, you could probably write 'for delivery on......' on the envelope. They are so obliging over there that they would no doubt do it for you! Magsx

Hi Val, I knew I should have recorded when I received my death cert from the GRO. It was dated 2nd Sep and arrived a few days ago - so it wasn't long!

Want to send a special b/day card to New Zealand, does anyone know how long it's taking for air mail to arrive there? Val
