Parcel to NZ Royal Mail website problems?

For 2 days I have been trying to send a small parcel to NZ but every time the site gets stuck on the parcel size.  Is this a general problem or just me?

     Huge problem for everyone. There was a cyber attack on Royal Mail effecting international mail.

    If posting now, expect delays as RM can't send anything overseas at the moment

    Your PO won't accept any parcels for overseas delivery for the foreseeable future.
  • We inquired earlier today (need to send birthday gift to the USA)...

    You can send via Parcelforce at an exorbitant cost but that is the only option at the moment. Will wait until it's sorted ....if not....we'll use amazon.com & send direct over there... :)

    That's what I always do - so much simpler and they do a good job of the gift wrapping
