I ordered a monitor and a cable on Monday. Freeship did reduce the cost of freight, but there was still a charge (I guess due to the size of the monitor). Both packages were sent via Courier Post/NZ Post. (Even though they were picked up from the same place, at the same time, the monitor took a day longer to arrive).




People often mistake me for an adult because of my age.

 

Keep calm, and carry on posting.

Yep used it the other day but why do PB Tech still use Aramex as a courier.  It takes a good week for something to get from Hamilton to Morrinsville where as NZ couriers takes 2 days at the most when shipped from PB Tech anywhere. 

 

Edit.  Just looked at the last two freeship items and they both use Aramex  where as the ones I paid shipping came NZ Couriers. 

 

 

Good point! Yesterday the Aramex courier came to deliver while we were out and so left a card instead - now I have to go to a depot to pick up. So, the free delivery has become a false economy (especially as it's just a couple of USB cables).

 

I have previously set up an Authority to Leave, but Aramex requires you to have a barcode sticker at the leaving place - not really something I want on my front door.

I got three things from PB on Monday, two were sent from PB in New Plymouth via Aramex and one from a supplier (or PB itself) in Auckland via NZ Couriers. Both arrived the next day. All free.
