Since 1964 our courier company has been driving ahead of the competition thanks to our passionate team, innovative systems and friendly, results-focused service.
Established in 1964
New Zealand Couriers began looking after kiwi business on 5 November 1964. From very humble beginnings, we are now a world class business moving over 30 million items a year. We know we need to be better than our competitors and we are driven to prove this every day. While we take pride in our 60 year history, we also know that moving forward we need to continue to prove ourselves every day and with every parcel we move.
NZ wide, NZ owned, proud to call NZ home
As New Zealand’s leading courier company, we’ve been helping Kiwis get their deliveries sorted for over 60 years – right around the country and the globe. We’re proud to serve the local communities we work in, ensuring their business and personal sending needs are met, taken onboard and expertly delivered. Our difference is simple, we don’t just deliver packages, we deliver reliability.
Getting the details right, from A to Z
Logistics is about more than A to B. It’s about getting the details right each time, every time and doing it a little better each time. This is why our network and service is market leading, we have over 50 years of continual improvement and development invested into our network, making us New Zealand’s most experienced courier provider. Because we built the network ourselves, we have the advantage of greater flexibility and influence This is why, while one of the largest NZ courier companies, we can still offer an agile and individualised service in which your parcel never leaves our control.
Logistics is about more than numbers too. But it certainly helps when your service is backed by the right figures. With 70 trucks, 4 cargo planes, 22 branches and over 500 couriers our overnight delivery covers 99.9% of NZ, with business delivery in the main centres by 9:30am the next working day. We also provide over 1000 same day local and regional services and a comprehensive, cost-effective international freight service.
People power – a nationwide team of over 1200
Behind every successful business, there’s usually a bunch of dedicated, committed people, and we’re proud to say that we have some of the best in the industry working to deliver for you. Our people know their stuff and they’re experienced in what they do – many of our team have been with us for more than two decades, so we must be doing something right!
We believe in keeping things personal. So when you call us, you’ll almost always speak to someone at your local branch. They’ll know the area – and possibly even you! You’ll receive service from a dedicated team of freight professionals who are part of your community, with the backing of a nationwide team of over 1200 down-to-earth, passionate people behind them to get you sorted on time, every time.
Making IT easy
We’ve always believed it should be as easy to send items as it is to receive them. Since 1964 we’ve done everything we can to make certain our systems can deliver on this service promise. Our web platform now makes it easier for you and your customers to instantly access our services, book a courier, track your items or buy your tickets and packs. Alternatively, our phone-based V.A.N network lets you make a booking in under ten seconds.
Just as our historical success has been based around forward-thinking technological systems so too will the future of our company rely on this approach. All of this means no matter when and where in New Zealand or the world you need to send a package, you can relax knowing we’ve got it under control. Or in a word, sorted.
