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.
