nzcichlidluva Posted December 5, 2012 Report Share Posted December 5, 2012 I have never shipped fish before and am wondering who is the best courier company to use and how to go about this ? I'm transporting fish from Aucks to Chch. When is the best time to drop the fish of to the depot ect. I love my babies and want to do the best for them? Please help!

Adrienne Posted December 5, 2012 Report Share Posted December 5, 2012 From Auckland Post haste is great. Deliver to their depot as close to closing time as you possibly can. Not sure of cost but around $30-35 for a box under 5kg. There is also a certain cubic cm limit on the size of the box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F15hguy Posted December 7, 2012 Report Share Posted December 7, 2012 also post haste has limit to how rural they will go even with a rural ticket, NZ couriers will deal with you if it is rather rural. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrienne Posted December 7, 2012 Report Share Posted December 7, 2012 NZ couriers in Auckland will not take fish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

camtang Posted December 7, 2012 Report Share Posted December 7, 2012 several tell me they do not carry fish, as I am picking up fish from them or informing them that i have some arriving in the up coming days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F15hguy Posted December 7, 2012 Report Share Posted December 7, 2012 the girls at posthaste Tga are always excited when I pick up new fish and ask for a peek.... I know I shouldn't open the box for them.... but they are soooo damn hot.....(I mean the fish.... seriously....honestly.....) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzcichlidluva Posted December 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2012 Thanks for the info going with Post Haste ...apparently they fly them, will find out cost when I get there. Guy on ph also said to make sure I ask for urgent morning delivery as they usually do all Comercial businesses first before private addresses. So I have everything prepared and I'm really hoping my fish will arrive safe n sound. :cr3: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camtang Posted December 11, 2012 Report Share Posted December 11, 2012 "urgent morning delivery" is a myth as I have recently found out through another company Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
