ParcelPost™ Tracked
Want a low-cost delivery service with tracking?
ParcelPost™ Tracked is a great low-cost way to send parcels up to 25kg (actual or volumetric weight, whichever is the greater) when they aren't urgent but you want to know they've arrived safely. With a 1-3 working day delivery target, online tracking and confirmation of delivery, your parcels are delivered by courier right to the door, and there are no fuel surcharges or other extra charges for sending to a rural address.
- Affordable tracking for non-urgent parcels: The peace of mind of online tracking and confirmation of delivery, at a lower cost. This is a non signature required service.
- Great value: Nationwide size based pricing up to 5kg and zonal pricing up to 25kg.
- Reliable: 1-3 working days delivery target.
- Easy to use: With prepaid tickets and convenient postage included envelopes.
- No extra charges: Pay no extra for rural delivery and delivery to New Zealand Post PO Boxes and Private Bags and there are no variable fuel surcharges either.
- Compensation: To check what you are covered for, refer to compensation and high risk items.
