Depends on shipping option/carrier, most of mine have been snail mail letter from customs which they only seem to post out once or twice a week. This time of year they will be busy with everyones online xmas shopping....
If/once you get gst/duties letter, pay online or over phone with credit card and usually on the courier that night.

It will most likely be with Customs, and they are generally pretty unhelpful if you try to rush them :/
I had the direct dial number somewhere, I charmed it out of lovely lady at NZ post. If your lucky someone is near the phone desk in warehouse and picks up. Have a plausible story ready about why you’d parcel is more important than the thousands of others there.
Have a pen ready as if your lucky they might have already done it and if you get the dollar amount due and release numbers you can pay online ASAP and get parcel moving. If not they are good at actually getting to it that day and wait for letter.
These people are genuinely busy so be polite and use sparingly or we risk this shortcut disappearing...

The notification for the last two items I bought that attracted GST came snail mail. The package contained a phone number and NZ Post had my email address. The letter comes telling you the date that the parcel arrived, but that date is fantasy because the tracking had already told me that it had arrived days prior. The date they say it arrived is probably the date someone at Customs got around to looking at it.
