trophy_malaw Posted July 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2010 well just to let everyone know i ended up using post haste which i really regret. they charged me a whoping $52 to move a poly box over night from aucks to bulls. and the lady was SOOO freaking rude at the depo centre. they where packing the truck and pretty much told me pay it or that box anit going anywhere,. guy i swaped my pembas with used NZ couriers and was way cheaper, anyways i got my shellies over night the next day before 9am they arrived . How ever for him 9,10,11 roleld around and no pembas turned up . freaking out he called post haste and asked what was going on and they had no idea, yeh they use a tracking service but couldnt tell where the parcel was all that it had be droped off the day before (USELESS) . after running it up an hour later we finnaly found out that it was sitting at palmy north depo waiting to be picked up so ryan ended up driving up there to get them intead of waiting around.... just shows the price differance, service and time of arrival differs. would NOT use post haste again. Am currently running up a complaint for the poor service and over pricing... SHAME ON YOU POST HASTE. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of those heating pads burn oxygen. You package them up too tightly there's no air for them to burn. They go cold. Did you happen to feel it a few minutes after opening the package? Also the opposite is true, too much airflow they burn out a lot quicker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barrie Posted July 24, 2010 Report Share Posted July 24, 2010 they need to be warmed up befor packing as well I reciently sent 2 pads to Palmy over night. The person I sent them to didnt notice the box for another day (I should have phoned him) and they were still warm enough for the fish to live.

Adrienne Posted July 24, 2010 Report Share Posted July 24, 2010 Post Haste here in Penrose is great. With the 40hour heat pads they have to be opened up and left to warm before packing. They need oxygen as Barrie says to keep them running and they can not get water on them or they do not work. I double heat pack in the winter and put one at the bottom of the box with a small piece of poly to stop it touching the plastic bags but not so big a piece of poly that the air can't circulate around it. The other I put at the other end of the box at the end of the bags again with poly to stop it touching the plastic. When I arrive at the depot I poke a small hole in the top of the poly box with a pen to allow a small flow of air to get into the container. This time of year is always dubious for sending as the depots can get very very cold at night and early morning deliveries to small towns can make the boxes sit outside in the frosts. Some heat packs don't work unless they are laid a certain way in the box either i,e, one particular side has to be the side away from a flat surface.

Adrienne Posted August 1, 2010 Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 I asked at my local branch the other day and apparently different Post Haste depots charge different rates for the same things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ira Posted August 1, 2010 Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 Ignore what I wrote - they need AIR to keep them running :oops: There is oxygen in air. The other 79% of the air is unimportant to them.

givemealook Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 We use Post Haste couriers, they are fantastic all the stickers are free ie. fragile etc, been using them for a year and only 2 fish have ever died. i used all courier services and post haste are the only ones that have never had all fish die.

givemealook Posted August 5, 2012 Report Share Posted August 5, 2012 I found post haste to be the best, i have used all of them and only post haste never killed any of my fish, one time they missed the connection and they sprinted them to the person free of charge. got there in an hour after located and none of the fish had died. they are really cheap and super helpful. they always ask if its cold water or tropical fish and leave it to the last minute to put out in the depot which is great. You do get the odd fish die but nothing compared to the other places i had lost out of a lot of money before i found Post Haste. :thup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
