Made in NZ
Printed here, so it arrives in days.
Paper Chain books are printed in New Zealand and delivered to the door, so nothing waits at the border and nothing crosses the Tasman. When we last checked, the printer quoted the same four to six days for every town we tried, from Whangārei to Invercargill.
It was made for exactly this: a grandmother in Hawke's Bay, and a family on both sides of the world who all had photos on their phones and no good way of getting them into her hands. One link goes round. Everyone adds a few. A week later she has a book.
If your family is the same, scattered and well-meaning and slow to reply, this is the easy way. You start the book, we remind them, and Nana gets something she can hold.

Hard-to-find addresses
Add a phone number for the courier if the house is down a long drive or shares a letterbox. There's a place for it with the address.
Sending from overseas
Family in Australia, the UK or anywhere else can add photos from the same link. The book is still printed here, so you pay New Zealand postage, not international.
