International NZ Post delay?

I ordered a parcel from overseas (darknet related) and it arrived in the country, went through customs all good blah blah but the tracking on it says it's been 'In transit to local depot' for around 16 days now.

Has anyone experienced anything similar with overseas orders?
Unsure if I should we worried as it passed customs no issue but with anything brought off the clear net it usually takes 5 days max to be delivered to door.

Have never had that happen before.

I take it you have a tracking number which is why you can see where it's at? Is it going to a drop or home address? If a drop then I'd call and enquire from a non-trackable phone then check the drop a week later.

What country did your package come from? How long did it take to get here?

That seems to be a trend currently, I know a few people who were/are still waiting a few weeks for their packs to reach the depot

Seems in some cases the packages go into a 2 week quarantine just like people.

Try using the Aus post website, they should give more detailed info than NZpost, or 17track.net

update, still waiting and nzpost website still says in transit to local depot.

As a side question anyone have an idea on the average time for parcels from NL to show up to door in NZ, been waiting a month for a small amount of acid but nothing yet

Usually i receive from overseas in anything from 12 days to 28 days but ordered from new vendor to me and so far its been 6 weeks, but i also ordered some other (legal items) from Europe which so far its 7 weeks and still no arrival so im guessing its backlogged somewhere in the world

What does it  say on the tracking? and have you had anything lost in the mail before?
