Hi there,

I ordered a box from Pass the Parcel ( www.passtheparcel.co.nz ) on the 28th and it still hasnt arrived. I know it is in a Xmas/New Year period so there is a lot of holidays, but they did say 2 working days.

Has anybody used them before? Good service or what?

Thanks :)

They seem to be a branch of Post haste, so i guess they should be a little decent ?

Pass the Parcel… So, where has it come from?Well, it is a branch of Post Haste Couriers…

Post Haste is a courier company that has spent over three decades at the forefront of the New Zealand courier industry. With over 240 Post Haste couriers servicing 360+ towns and cities in New Zealand, we can deliver your parcels with ease.

And, Post Haste is a company of Freightways…

Which has the security of being not only a NZX 15 listed company, but also one of the largest courier and freight companies in New Zealand that can trace its roots all the way back to 1964. Consisting of Post Haste, NZ Couriers, Castle Parcels, Now Couriers, Sub60, and DX Mail we collectively have over 1700 employees, 1000 contractors, 100 line-haul vehicles, 30 depots, and 5 aircraft.

I have always found them to be good. But it could just be that time of the year when people are on holiday and less staff
