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.

Oh no, won't someone think of all those critical Temu shipments! Anyway...

(Seriously, there must be a lot of irreplaceable stuff that goes through the post - this is actually a fairly big deal and I'm sure there will be people quite badly affected. Horrible to think about actually)

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)

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