We’ve been privileged to help Kiwis get the essentials needed to work, study, and stay connected. It’s led to huge demand and some orders are taking longer to deliver. We’d really like to apologise to the customers who’ve experienced these delays.

To help get it sorted faster we’ve quadrupled our Customer Care team, and expanded our order fulfilment network so we can get thousands more orders delivered each day. Plus our remote Tech Solutions service will be free until May 11 to lend customers a hand with technology advice or setting up.

Thanks for your patience, everyone. We’re getting there.

We're keen to hear about your health care

Kelly Dennett Reporter from Sunday Star Times

The Sunday Star-Times is looking to speak to a patient who has recently had some experience of the health system - either receiving treatment in a hospital or clinic or at an ED - and would be willing to talk about their experience, and how it could have been made better, either by shorter wait … View moreThe Sunday Star-Times is looking to speak to a patient who has recently had some experience of the health system - either receiving treatment in a hospital or clinic or at an ED - and would be willing to talk about their experience, and how it could have been made better, either by shorter wait times, better communication or level of care. We'd need you to be happy to be identified and photographed (from a distance). If you think you can help, please email senior journalist Andrea Vance on andrea.vance@stuff.co.nz.

What this Lockdown has Taught Us!

Marie from Flaxmere

Viruses follow their own timeline.

People are more important than things.

No man is an island.

Cooperation is better than competition.

Viruses follow their own timeline.

People are more important than things.

No man is an island.

Cooperation is better than competition.

We must never think we are invincible.

Rules are meant to be followed.

Hindsight is always 20-20.

Every day is a blessing.

We must value those who are in the front lines, now and after.

Life is fragile.

If you're reading this, you're still here, so make the most of every moment! ☺☺

Today Was a Better Day!

Maybe it's the sunshine, maybe it's just that I am getting used to life as it is, instead of wishing for life as it was. Instead of seeing my home as confinement and now seeing it as protection.

Today Was a Better Day!

Maybe it's the sunshine, maybe it's just that I am getting used to life as it is, instead of wishing for life as it was. Instead of seeing my home as confinement and now seeing it as protection.

Instead of seeing the rates of infection going up, now seeing that what we are doing is working, and even if we need to continue doing it for a while longer, we will manage. But it was most definitely a better day today! 🌹♥🌹

Dear Hawkes Bay - ANZAC Day will look a little different for us this year - however, there are many ways for you to acknowledge the incredible men and women who have served our communities and given their lives for our country.

Dear Hawkes Bay - ANZAC Day will look a little different for us this year - however, there are many ways for you to acknowledge the incredible men and women who have served our communities and given their lives for our country.

We invite you to share a memory or photo to commemorate this special day on Neighbourly below. It could be a story of a member in your family who served - or perhaps the way you and your family celebrate ANZAC Day each year. (It might even be a photo of your freshly baked can't be-beaten ANZAC cookies).

We also invite you to take part in Stand at Dawn and join us at 6:00 am on Saturday 25 April. Stand at your letterbox, at the front door, in your lounge rooms, balconies, in your driveway. Wherever you are in the world, stand with us and take a moment to remember our fallen – but please stay within your ‘bubble’.

Stick to your bubble, not your couch - join Red Cross Virtual Tour

Red Cross Communications from Red Cross - Hastings Service Centre

During COVID-19 lockdowns overseas, we've seen someone run a half marathon on a tiny balcony and the distance of Everest up and down a staircase. What will we see next in New Zealand!?

We are an active country and we like to get outdoors in our beautiful landscapes. But we know that right now… View more

We are an active country and we like to get outdoors in our beautiful landscapes. But we know that right now we must #stayhomesavelives. Here is a way that you can still keep active in your own home, and still enjoy the beautiful scenery that we have here in Aotearoa! ? #RedCrossVirtualTour
