Indiana is one of the few states that cannot give a single answer to “what time is it in Auckland”.
Which clock you are on
Most of the state keeps Eastern time, which puts Indiana 16 to 18 hours behind Auckland depending on the season. The northwest corner around Gary and the southwest corner around Evansville keep Central time instead, one more hour back.
In practice, an evening order anywhere in Indiana reaches Auckland around the middle of the next day. It is worth knowing when you are counting back from a birthday, because the date line eats a day before the parcel has even moved.
A Kiwi connection at the Speedway
New Zealand drivers have been part of IndyCar for a long time, and a New Zealander has won the Indianapolis 500. For a country of five million people, that is a lot of history at one racetrack.
If you are a Kiwi in Indiana, or you have picked up the habit from one, the Kiwi Classics aisle is where to find the things you cannot buy locally.
When to order
Indiana summers are hot and sticky, and chocolate does not enjoy them. From June to September, fill the box with lollies, biscuits and a couple of bags of crisps. New Zealand crisp flavours like pickled onion are rarely seen in an American store.
From October, the chocolate aisle opens up again.
Chocolate and the weather
Crisps and lollies in the sticky months. Chocolate from October.
Parcels travel unrefrigerated. Indiana summers are hot and humid enough to soften chocolate on a doorstep, so June to September is the time for lollies, biscuits and crisps. From October to May, the blocks are back on.

What to send to Indiana
Picked for this trip, not a bestseller list. One line on each says why it earns its place in the box.
Whole roasted almonds in milk chocolate. An autumn to spring order in Indiana.
Firm, fruity and made in New Zealand. Wine gums shrug off a humid July.
Pickled onion crisps, a flavour the American chip aisle barely touches.
Chocolate biscuits with hokey pokey on top, for the cooler half of the year.
Ordered most often to the United States
Built from real orders sent anywhere in the United States, refreshed daily. No names, no numbers, just what leaves Auckland for the United States most often.
One rate covers the first 2 kg
Your DHL Express rate follows the weight of the box, not where in the United States it is going. A half full box costs the same to send as a full one, so the trick is filling it well. Above 2 kg a step rate applies per 0.5 kg, and the exact figure shows at checkout once you enter your address.
Import charges are set by the United States, not by us
They are the same everywhere in the United States, and they do not change because your address is in Indiana. We never add them to your price and we do not try to predict them. The only reliable source is U.S. Customs and Border Protection.

How far behind Auckland is Indiana ＋
On Eastern time, which covers most of the state, Indiana is 16 to 18 hours behind Auckland depending on the season. The counties near Chicago and Evansville run on Central time and are 17 to 19 hours behind. Either way, Auckland is already into the next day.
What are pickled onion crisps ＋
Potato crisps seasoned to taste like pickled onions, sharp and tangy. It is a familiar flavour in New Zealand and one that American shelves rarely carry.
