New Zealand: DELAYS IN MAIL TO LOS ANGELES

New Zealand mail to the United States is being delayed because of problems at the entry port, Los Angeles.

New Zealand Post planning manager, David Espie, says the problem appears to have been happening for about two weeks.

Espie says thousands of postal items go to the US each day, and some are getting through. He says it is difficult to know how much mail is being affected, and the reasons for the delays.

Espie says if the problems continue, NZ Post will look at alternatives, including using another city as the mail entry 0point.
