Our Auckland branches are not accepting one-off cash sales and sending of parcels from 'walk-in customers' during Level 3.

Are there any restrictions on items I can send to the Auckland Region?
There are no restrictions on the type of freight we can move through our network at Alert Level 2 & 3. However, we recommend holding off sending items to businesses in the Auckland Region that aren't allowed to open during Alert Level 3.
Should items be sent to Auckland businesses that are closed, and Level 3 extends, Post Haste Couriers may return the items to the sender (and charge the sender for returns) to ensure our network can continue to operate (we do not have extensive storage facilities for undeliverable freight).

Alert Level 2 - NZ excl Auckland Region
Delays not expected: Delivery timeframe you should expect
We are getting back to peak volumes at Level 2 with most NZ businesses operating back operating. With distancing and other protocols in place, it can be a challenging environment to pick-up; process, and deliver freight.
We are back to pre-COVID service levels for deliveries and don't expect any delays. However, please do package any perishables with slightly extended delivery times in mind.
What delivery timeframe should I expect?
Residential addresses - We are maintaining standard service expectations for residential deliveries.
Business addresses - We are maintaining on time delivery service standards.
Please wait before calling us
As expected with the increase in volumes, phones and customer services teams are busier than usual. We are doing our best to answer your calls; emails and help you.
Due to distancing and other safety protocols, staff numbers in our Branches are not always at full capacity and call-wait times may be longer than usual.
Please use our online tools where possible and only contact us for crucial issues.
Thank you so much for your patience.

Yes, all deliveries and pick-ups continue to be contact-less during Alert Level 2.
Pick-ups - Please have a pick-up space available for our driver that is safely distanced from other people for contactless pick-ups.
Deliveries - Contactless deliveries are being performed during Level 2.

Given the volumes and the staggered way that businesses may open, there may be some delays. Please be patient, we will deliver them as soon as is possible.
