Couriers..F@#$king Couriers.

Dear Now Couriers,

A package was dispatched to me with your company on the 26th Sept. The package was to be couriered from Auckland ############, Waiuku.

If you are on a rural delivery route, the consignment is often passed on to the postie if it isn't an urgent delivery.If this is the case the address is critical if it is not to be passed on to the wrong RD contractor.
I live a few hundred meters past the end of the Helensville RD1 route,If the address is put down as Kaukapakapa,which I am 5 km from,I get a call from the RD1 postie telling me she has left the parcel at the KKK gas station.
If it is correctly put down as Warkworth,40 Km away,the postie delivers it to my door and if I am out knows where to leave it in my shed.

I get consignments from australia,ordered at 4 pm,by 9 am the next morning by DHL

I did have one courier almost drive off without delivering a package,after stopping at the bottom of my drive and not coming up to see if I was home.
I only spotted him by accident.
Idiot! he drove 55 km to my place and was going to go back without checking

I prefer that the postie gets the package,because she knows what to do if I am not home

What gets my goat is when you pay for door to door, and then they palm it off to the rural delivery guys, which adds 3 days for some unknown reason.

Gets damnably annoying, that is for sure, and of course non urgent items are delivered on time every time.

If your RD guy's on the ball it shouldn't take anylonger than his normal delivery time at your place

I am a courier... well... I'm a courier on forced long term holiday... anyhooo... I have managed to get things from auck to hamilton in approx an hour... it just depends what kind of courier and how much your willing to fork out... cost the client about $250 to get that kinda service...

Well its Saturday the 30th now and I look out of my lounge window across the Manukau and I can see Auckland. In fact if I used my binoculars and the person who sent me the package stuck his head out of his office window and waved. Chances are high I would see him. Now couriers have promised several times to ring me back in the next half hour (yeah right we could put that up as the worlds 4th greatest lie). I still wait for my delivery and or their phone calls. Jeez its tough out here in the sticks, quietly waiting..waiting..waiting..!

I did a bit of courier work on my Repulse, it was a hell of a fun job tbh, but that was just local sprint work. The courier networks we have now are monumentally huge, and if you stood in the middle of courier post, or NZ couriers South Auckland hubs, you could be mistaken for thinking that no one could possibly move all that shit, and know where it's all going.

The main thing that effects couriers is Murphy's Law.

I tell you what, a jimmy hat full of smack is a lot easier to conceal than an A3 Document Tube.

I've not walked the same since.

That's because you repeatedly inserted it.

Any update Terbang? Like has it arrived yet?

I live rurally with a driving time of 8 minutes from Waiuku.

Is this the delivery address you gave them? Could be the problem.
