Are Postie and Postie plus the same?

Short answer: yes. Postie Plus was the original branding; the chain now trades simply as Postie, but it’s the same low‑price apparel retailer. The parent company is Hallensteins Glassons Holdings, which also runs the Glassons and Hallensteins chains across New Zealand. If you walk into a store with the blue Postie logo, you’re in the same place that used to be called Postie Plus.

Bottom line: The name changed, the stores and prices didn’t. New Plymouth shoppers can visit either location and expect the same range and discounts.

Where are Postie plus clothes made?

Most Postie clothing is sourced from manufacturing partners in China, Bangladesh, India, and Vietnam – a common supply chain for mid‑price apparel brands. The company does not publish a full supplier list or detailed ethical‑audit reports publicly, so while the sourcing countries are known, the specific factories and their working conditions aren’t independently verified.

Which countries supply Postie Plus garments?

  • China – Postie corporate website
  • Bangladesh – same source
  • India – same source
  • Vietnam – same source

The pattern: Postie uses the same low‑cost manufacturing regions as many high‑volume retailers, without publishing factory‑level details.

Does Postie Plus use ethical manufacturing?

The brand states it complies with New Zealand supply‑chain regulations, but it doesn’t provide a publicly searchable factory register. Shoppers who prioritise full transparency may find this lack of detail frustrating, though Postie’s pricing reflects a high‑volume, low‑margin model that typically relies on the countries listed above.

The trade‑off

Low prices often come from manufacturing in countries with lower labour costs. Postie doesn’t detail its audits, so consumers who want guarantees about factory conditions should seek out brands with published ethical‑sourcing reports.

What is the discount for Postie Plus Gold Card?

Postie’s Gold Card – officially the SuperGold Card – gives you 5% off full‑priced items at all Postie stores across New Zealand. That’s a nationwide offer listed on the NZ Government’s SuperGold website, so you can use it at both New Plymouth locations. The discount applies when you present your card at checkout. It’s not automatically applied to online orders; you may need to enter a code or contact customer service.

How to apply for a Postie Plus Gold Card?

  1. You need to be a New Zealand SuperGold Card holder (available to New Zealand Superannuitants and veterans).
  2. Visit any Postie store or shop online – SuperGold offer details page
  3. Present your card at checkout to receive the discount.

Can the Gold Card be used online?

According to the official SuperGold offer page, the discount is for in‑store use. The Postie website occasionally runs a SuperGold Discount Day online, but it’s not a permanent feature. If you shop online, check the current promotions banner or contact the store directly.

Why this matters

New Plymouth seniors who shop in‑store get the 5% discount reliably, while online shoppers need to verify before checkout – a 5% saving on a $69 order covers the delivery fee.

The pattern is clear: the discount is easy to claim in physical stores, but the online process is less consistent. If you’re primarily shopping at the New Plymouth Centre or Centre City, bring your Gold Card and you’re good.

Postie plus new plymouth stores and opening hours

New Plymouth has two Postie locations. Knowing which one is closer to your errands can save you a detour, especially on a Saturday when both are open until 5pm (Sunday they’re closed).

Two stores, one pattern: centre‑city convenience vs. a standalone strip‑centre anchor tenant.

Store Address Phone Opening hours
Centre City, Devon Street 74‑78 Devon St, New Plymouth Mon–Fri 8:30am–5pm · Sat 9am–5pm · Sun closed
New Plymouth Centre 7 Struthers Place, Waiwhakaiho (06) 757‑3040 Mon–Fri 8:30am–5pm · Sat 9am–5pm · Sun closed

The implication: both stores share the same hours (verified for New Plymouth Centre by the official store detail page). If you need to call ahead, the New Plymouth Centre has a dedicated phone number; the Centre City store may be reached through the general Postie contact line.

What is the address of Postie New Plymouth Centre?

7 Struthers Place, Waiwhakaiho, New Plymouth. The store is next to Anytime Fitness, which makes it easy to spot – Postie store detail page.

What time does the Devon Street store open and close?

Monday to Friday 8:30am–5pm, Saturday 9am–5pm, Sunday closed. These hours were reported by a third‑party directory (Wheree directory listing), so we suggest confirming with the store before a special trip.

The catch

Third‑party directory sites can carry outdated info. The official Postie store locator (Postie store locator) is the most reliable source for current hours.

Postie plus new plymouth online shopping and sale

You can shop the full Postie range online at postie.co.nz, with delivery to New Plymouth. The website carries the same product categories as the physical stores – women’s, men’s, kids, baby, and lingerie – plus a dedicated clearance section.

How to get free delivery on Postie Plus online orders?

Orders over $69 qualify for free delivery – Postie website. Returns are also free if you take them to a Postie store, which makes online ordering low‑risk for New Plymouth locals who can drop by the Centre City or New Plymouth Centre location.

Where to find clearance and sale items?

  • Online: postie.co.nz/clearance
  • In‑store: the New Plymouth Centre often has a clearance rack at the back; staff can point you to current markdowns.
Bottom line: You can order online and return anything you don’t like at the local store – free shipping on orders over $69 makes that strategy practical for New Plymouth shoppers.

Postie official retailer website

“Present your SuperGold card at checkout to receive 5% off all full‑priced product at all Postie stores across New Zealand.”

SuperGold NZ Government programme offer page

For New Plymouth shoppers, the choice between the Centre City and New Plymouth Centre stores is about convenience, not product range – both offer the same low prices, Gold Card discount, and family‑friendly apparel. The trade‑off is clear: you get affordable basics with a straightforward in‑store discount, but limited transparency on manufacturing ethics and online discount consistency. If you’re a senior with a SuperGold card, bringing it to either New Plymouth location saves 5% every time.
