> Step-by-step guide to setting up NZ Couriers.

* Starshipit is now integrated with NZ Couriers in **New Zealand**.
* NZ Couriers (part of Freightways Group) is Freightways’ flagship brand positioned as the premier provider of network courier services to New Zealand businesses.
* Specialising in express parcel delivery, service standards range from 2.5 hours for local deliveries, to overnight by 9.30am for nationwide deliveries.  New Zealand Couriers sits at the premium service/premium price end of Freightways’ multi-brand strategy.
* NZ Couriers is available as a Domestic courier option when shipping from New Zealand.

## Before you begin

To integrate with NZ Couriers you'll need to have your:

* NZ Couriers Account Number
* Client ID and Client Secret

If you don't have these credentials please contact your NZ Couriers account manager or [contact NZ Couriers via email or phone](https://www.nzcouriers.co.nz/contact.html).

## Enable NZ Couriers in Starshipit

To enable NZ Couriers as a courier in New Zealand, go to:

1. **Settings** > **Couriers** > click **Add a new courier**.
2. Click **NZ Couriers** from the list of couriers (If NZ Couriers isn't showing ensure you have selected New Zealand as the **Shipping From** option)
3. Tick **Enable NZ Couriers**.
4. Enter your NZ Couriers **Account Number, Client ID and Client Secret.**
5. Click **Save**.

Once you've entered and saved these details click **Test to ensure it works** to confirm that your integration is correctly set up.

## Available product codes with NZ Couriers

NZ Couriers via Starshipit can be setup with three different product code types:

**Overnight Delivery**

Overnight is the standard service offering for NZ Couriers. It can be used anywhere in New Zealand as long as NZ Couriers offers pickups and deliveries in that area.

**Two Day Delivery**

Two Day delivery is offered as an economy service for inter-island shipments. This means in Starshipit you will only see pricing for Two Day, if you have pricing loaded on your NZ Couriers account, and the shipment is inter-island (e.g. sending from Auckland to Christchurch)

**Express Pack / Satchels**

NZ Couriers offer pre-paid Express Packs (Satchels) that can be sent locally, regionally or nationally at a flat price unless you are sending to a Residential or Rural address or opt for a Saturday delivery.

Express packs used for Saturday, Residential or Rural services require an extra ticket relevant to that service.

You can learn more about the pricing of express packs [here](https://help.nzcouriers.co.nz/pricing-ticketing/price-of-express-packs).
