ducati Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 Has anyone had problems with NZ Couriers North Shore. I have been using NZC with no problems and last week the driver on the North Shore refused to pick up a box of live fish - even though it wasnt marked!! Is this a one-off or should I be looking for another courier? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanjury Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 I always use nz couriers down here.. And we used the north shore branch (took them in) when we lived up there and never had any worries with them. I think fish are one of those gray areas for most courier companies it seems you can ring them many times and get different opinions on if they are allowed or not. NZPOST (even though we refuse to send with them anymore as they loose too much stuff) here wont take my fish but plenty of others send through them so who knows? If I was you I would start dropping off at the depot if that doesn't suit you then you may have to find another courier that will pick up from you?

ducati Posted November 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 Thanks for that - the fish actually went from South Auckland fine to the North Shore depot and the driver over there refused to deliver them. I think probably a one time thing but annoying to say the least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barrie Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 most companies have a no carry policy but are willing to carry at owners risk. I think that if something does go wrong, too many people make a issue of the problem and it makes it far easier to simply say no. I use NZ couriers and have never had a problem but in the beginning they were very anti. If I did have a problem, I would say all went well as to be able to use a courier is better than having to drive all over NZ myself In saying that, I have never had a problem. The worst delivery was delivered in the early afternoon the next day. I use 48 hour heat pads just in case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
