Postal services nearly back to normal

9:02 pm on 17 August 2011

Postal services were almost normal on Wednesday, after two days of disruptions.

New Zealand Post says deliveries have resumed in most parts of the country, but it will take some time to catch up.

There is a large backlog of mail which it hopes to clear within the next few days.

However, a few areas did not have postal services on Wednesday, including Wairarapa, the hill-top areas of Dunedin and Queenstown, and possibly Christchurch.
