Hi Trista, it's the exact same product they are trialling except there is a different way of working out how much it costs. So no tracking :(
Basically for the trail there are now 4 international zones instead of 5:
http://www.nzpost.co.nz/about-us/media-centre/sending-from-marlborough/world-zones-for-marlborough-a...And for international air to say USA (6-10 day delivery) for one of my items it's $1 for the bag, $7.82 per item fee, plus $23.15 per kg. The minimum chargeable weight is 200g. So that's a minimum of $13.45 even though one item of mine would weigh less than that. When I put the same item details into the normal international postage calculator I get $11.50.
But I can't do anything about it so have to pay. It's a shame we don;t have an affordable tracked international postage option here in NZ. My $30 items are worth enough for me not to want them vanishing in the post but not worth enough to warrent pay $60+ for a tracked international courier!
