One business owner says she will be "massively out of pocket" after some of her customers' orders were on the truck.

About 2000 parcels have been destroyed after an NZ Post truck caught fire last week.

The truck caught fire in Te Kuiti in the early hours of 31 July, with parcels on board bound for delivery in Auckland, Waikato, Bay of Plenty and Taupō, NZ Post said.

I hope no one has been waiting for a delivery.

    Yeah, if it was just temu trash I’d be reaching for a light myself, but… Let’s just hope it’s not registered mail with passports and stuff that matters (rego would be another massive PITA)

        It’s the personal stuff I’d worry about.

        One of my friends once messaged me that he’d just written me a really long handwritten letter so long his hand hurt and it was in the post to me. I never got the letter and I never heard from him again, his profile went inactive, I haven’t been able to track him down.

        I sometimes wonder what was in it and whether me not replying to it (since I couldn’t) made us not be friends any more.

      Given how long stuff takes to arrive from Temu, Ali Express etc, I’d be pretty annoyed about even that.
