One business owner says she will be "massively out of pocket" after some of her customers' orders were on the truck.

NZ Post truck catches fire, 2000 parcels destroyed

About 2000 parcels have been destroyed after an NZ Post truck caught fire last week.

The truck caught fire in Te Kuiti in the early hours of 31 July, with parcels on board bound for delivery in Auckland, Waikato, Bay of Plenty and Taupō, NZ Post said.

I hope no one has been waiting for a delivery.

They should have been more pro-active about notifying customers about the incident, but it's incredibly difficult to identify every parcel individually at first. They don't typically get logged to a a truck for each leg of the journey, so the only way to identify what was lost would be to wait a day or two until it is reasonable to expect that everything would have been scanned to a depot or delivery, then tally up what hasnt been scanned.
