At last! The day has finally come in which we see kiwis “flying” to deliver all those postcards from New Zealand. Look at them!
Aren’t these just gorgeous? You can’t really see it in these pictures, but the birds have a fancy overgloss coating! 😍 And the maxicards… perfection! It’s so exciting to see photos of the stamp, and not just a digital version. It’s real!
The reception from the community to this new Postcrossing themed stamp has been brilliant — not just from New Zealanders, but also from many postcrossers in other countries, who have pre-ordered some on the NZ Post shop for their upcoming visits or just to keep. We know postal workers have been super busy packaging those orders, and they should be popping up in everyone’s mailboxes very soon. If you manage to grab hold of some, or if one day you receive one of these on a postcard, do share some photos on the forum or on social media and tag us — we’d love to see them!
This coming Sunday, postcrossers in Auckland are meeting at the Wattle Downs café to celebrate the stamp launch and make use of their cute new maxicards. If you’re in the area, come join them for some friendly chat and postcard writing!

The stamps and maxicards look fantastic. Congratulations to NZ Post for a great design.
Thank you its very exciting news for us here in New Zealand - happy postcrossing everyone
Done a big order of stamps and cards and looking forward to sending them out to people around the World. Apologies can't attend the Meet-Up, have a great time. I LOVE Postcrossing!!!!!!!
Have already sent three maxicards out today! So happy to be able to share this great design around the world :)
Very beautiful!
They look great!
oh wow that seems awesome!
Amazing!!! I hope to be lucky and get a postcard with one!
I can't wait for my order of this gorgeous stamp and maxicard to arrive! It's so exciting!!
I see your maxicard photographed above has no first day of issue cancel. Is that because it was photographed before the first day of issue? I hope mine have a postmark! 😬
This stamp is so cute, I love the illustration and will keep my fingers crossed to receive one. :)
Yay, my order of the Maxicards and stamps arrived today so I'll be sending a few asap!
Wow, these are soo cute! Hopefully one of them will find it’s way in my mailbox!!
I've ordered some for our first postcrossing meeting in christchurch on the 17th August
Oh those are gorgeous. I wish Australia would follow suit!
what a lovely stamp and card, hope to be one to receive such a gift, looking forward and congrats to all New Zealand postcrossers
Thats a good news, Wish if some one in newzealand can send a MAxi card with new postcrossing stamp. I assure you I will reciprocate with another maxi card from India.
Regards
Wonderful! Another stamp I can add to my collage and a new postcard 😊
Oh, what a great design! I hope to see it for real sometime...
What a lovely design!!!! Fingers crossed i'm receiving a card with the cute little bird someday.
They look good, but like almost all modern issues they probably can't be soaked off the card/letter. A new anti-fraud policy on the part of postal authorities which unfortunately drives the last nail into the coffin of the used stamp collector.
They look so cuteee!📨🕊
Gorgeous!
Way to go New Zealand!
Perfection!
that's a super fun design.
I love this :) I with the UK would do one too.
Really great....congrats NZ
How adorable! Hope someday to receive a card with one! 😎
Fun! Hope to find one in my mailbox one day!! 💌
These are wonderful and yes, I hope one day to find one in my mailbox! 😃
One of the most adorable stamps/maxi cards! 😍 Hopefully I'll be one day the lucky receiver of one of these.
Maggie is waiting for her card.
Awsome!! 👌👏
I would love to get them, from a NZ Postcrosser (I think never got any card from NZ yet... 🤭)
love it 💕❤️
so beautiful 🤩
Ordered a month back. Got a message it is shipped. waiting for it. Some can send me a card from meetup. Please DM me
Love New Zealand, Love the stamp, Love the card and the Kiwi bird.
Thank you New Zealand for the great design.
I hope to find one day a card and a stamp....I can't wait......
Great stamp, I really hope I will receive it once. Congrats to NZ for this great choice.
Love it! Well Done New Zealand Postcrossers!
I'm jealous ... we're hitting a brick wall with Canada Post ...
Very cute!
Great!
So adorable! I would love to receive one of these stamps. Congratulations, NZ Postcrossers!
Wunderschön und spannend! Ob solch ein Kiwi bis zu meinem Briefkasten fliegen wird
All except for one person has been complimentary of our own Postcrossing card and stamp, they're just so cute. I received my order today and will be VERY careful who I send a card or stamp to, if they're not a positive person then they won't be getting one from me. At least NZ Post allows us to personalise our stamps at no extra cost above the postage so I do most of my stamps now with photo's on them - unique!!!!! Thank you NZ Post for this great service.
They look lovely! I hope I will some day get one!
I'm so excited for New Zealand. Congratulations!
I'm planning to visit your amazing country next year so I should order some too to make my Postcrossing friends extra happy. A big HURRAY from Germany! 🎉
Love it! I hope I will someday get one!
Happy Postcrossing & enjoy the rest of the summer!
This is adorable! What a great stamp!
I like this
This looks great 🤩🇳🇿❤️
Very cute! Hope to find one in my mailbox one day! ❤️
So good ! loved it 😁
So cute. I had to order one of the maxi cards for myself as well. :)
Such a cute stamp! I hope to get one in my mailbox someday!
In response to the soaking used stamps comment: i collect NZ used stamps and NZ stamps are one of the easier countries to soak stamps off paper. Self adhesive stamps from NZ provide a challenge like they do with all countries, but they do soak off. Though this particular stamp is the standard lick'n'stick.
How delightful.
I received mine this week. Im gutted I have another event on Sunday (Disney on Ice with the kids) so I am missing the meet up. But Im excited to start sharing the postcards and stamps with postcrossing collectors.
I love them!
Super cute!
What a wonderful stamp and Maximum card :)
I'll not be able to participate in the Meetup .... but I'd be happy to receive stamp or Maximum Card some day :)
My stamps and maxicards arrived this morning. I was totally excited. They are even better in real. I've written three cards to be posted tomorrow and have a few more to send plus two sheets of stamps for later.
BTW all the very best for the meetup. I would love to attend, but Eketahuna is a bit far to come. Have a great time.
I need this. It's so cute!!!!
I ordered 10 maxi cards from NZPost on 27 June 2024 and hope to receive them as soon as possible.
Wow, very nice. I wish also to get one.
It's a beautiful stamp! Congratulations New Zealand! :)
Bute, cute, cute!
I love them , I wish to get a postcard from New Zealand with a one of these stamps
Best
Fadwa

I placed order in US, how long until arrives??? Looking forward to seeing it!
I have placed an order and it looks like they have shipped it. I can't wait to have it in hand.
The kiwi is flying =)
Was at the postcrossing meetup yesterday to celebrate the Stamp release.

Oh, I love this design! Fingers crossed I find one in my mailbox one day!
Good news to share.........Ordered maxicards arrived in my Singapore mailbox 6 days after the issued date (07/08/2024). Awesome with silver coloured postmark against the blue background. To place additional orders for friends n my collection too.
Great job NZ Post......looking forward to more such interesting issues soon.
Cheers n you have made many PostCrossers (both senders n receivers) n collectors very happy.
Thank you................
Ordered maxicards arrived in my mailbox today.

Very beautiful and creative, but I don't see the Postcrossing logo 🥲
Nice kiwi, I would like to receive a postcard with one of these stamps. I see how kiwis "fly" to Latvia from New Zealand. :)
Wow! Looks awesome!
From 1 to 10, I'd give it a 11 ❤️❤️❤️
Kiwi Bird Symbol

Thanks for the information. Now we have to wait to see if we are lucky and we get a postcard.
