It’s no secret we’re big fans of the behind-the-scenes part of postal delivery (see here, here or here). Russell (aka SonOfBilly) from New Zealand, spotted this love of ours and sent us this video by New Zealand Post:

That put a huge smile on our faces! Samson’s enthusiasm is contagious, and pretty much a mirror of our own delight when we see these videos. Keep them coming! 😊

Enjoyed the video! I was just there for 3 weeks & found their mail system confusing. I was told there's 2 companies, 1 presumably for international & 1 for domestic. But my postcards made it to countries in about 23 days!

Great video of NZ Post Samson. Awesome that our mail passes through some fantastic scenery, but then I'm a bit biased :)

Nice to see New Zealand again. For those visiting NZ, do not buy the tourist stamps available at the tourist sites- they are more expensive and took 2 months to reach Canada and the stamps ended up being covered by a big white label. Buy stamps from a post office. They sold me a stamp that was cheaper and only took 14 days to arrive.

Very nice video! I loved seeing the mail trucks that the mail person uses to deliver the mail to people's homes in New Zealand! Very different from our mail trucks (USA).

What a wonderful story, & I loved father trying not to show his feelings! We have similar problems in Oz, fewer deliveries & higher stamp prices, especially for overseas mail (just before Christmas!) - to keep profits up. Parcel delivery is proving vital for Australia Post to survive, against other courier services. Ah well, as long as our postcards get through! Thank you to all the people around the world who speed our letters & cards on their way - we appreciate your work!
