## Available product codes

Post Haste via Starshipit can be set up with two different product code types:

#### Overnight Delivery

Overnight is the standard service offering for Post Haste. Typically all same island deliveries are overnight. 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 Post Haste account, and the shipment is inter-island (e.g. sending from Auckland to Christchurch)
