<div dir="ltr">For whatever it's worth, a parcel that I ordered in china about a month ago (and that arrived in the country a day or two ago) was delivered to my door today. My guess is that couriers aren't picking up from non-essential businesses, but are probably delivering whatever they have. I doubt they're going to put the stuff arriving from overseas into a big pile and wait until it's over - that just seems like a bad plan all around.<div><br></div><div>So it's probably on you to figure out if you want to order from overseas or not.<br><div><br></div><div>Geoff</div></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Mon, Mar 30, 2020 at 10:06 AM Mark Atherton <<a href="mailto:markaren1@xtra.co.nz">markaren1@xtra.co.nz</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">

<div>Thanks Brendan.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Any idea if they are qualified as an
essential supplier - I can't see anything obvious.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Just checked and Digikey also have an
NZ$66 min for free shipping. RS will ship for free, but are much
more expensive.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>In any case (from what i understand)
local couriers will only deliver from Essential Service qualified
suppliers.</div>

Hi Mark

<div><a href="https://www.digikey.com" target="_blank">https://www.digikey.com</a> have free
shipping to New Zealand, and I believe it’s regardless of the

All,<br>
<br>
I received a very self-congratulatory note from Mouser
Electronics (in <br>
the US) telling me that they are now a fully qualified
Essential <br>
Service, and can ship from warehouses all around the
world. They have an <br>
NZ$66 minimum to qualify for free shipping.<br>
<br>
From what I understand, the local courier service can
only accept and <br>
deliver orders from Essential Service suppliers.<br>
<br>
So the obvious question then becomes, if I order from
Mouser, will it <br>
get delivered anytime soon.<br>
<br>
Has anyone placed an order in the last week, and how
did things proceed ?<br>
<br>
Thanks, Mark<br>
<br>
