Since we've diverged into a discussion of courier service (price and delivery delays definitely have an effect on Trade Me sales) I have been waiting for a package Post Haste picked up in Nelson on 15 November.  OK, there are delays, but they have a mandatory signature required delivery which I've tried to opt out of but have had no response from the local branch. 
Plus, the tracking system is cr*p - according to the tracking it's still at the picked up in Nelson stage but  I received an email today with "Good News" that the package had been picked up from the Head Office in Auckland. I am in Wellington. I'm expecting it to arrive when I'm not home and I'll have to arrange another delivery or drive to the depot.  In future, I will ask all sellers which courier company they use and just not buy if they say Post Haste.
