Are all your details correct?
To ensure that we provide the
best possible service to you and
your customers please ensure
that all details are correct.
It is very time consuming for dispatch to amend
errors, or our drivers arriving at incorrect
destinations. As of Wednesday, 1st April there will
be a job correction fee of $4.00 for each job that
needs to be amended.
This does include
incorrect address details and incorrect service
types.
In line with providing a fast, timely delivery with
the size of Hamilton ever growing, and the
increase of cars on the road a 40 minute service is
only available for deliveries within a 5km radius.
Anything over 5km is a 60 minute job as 40
minutes is not a realistic time frame.
If booking a job after 4.00pm please note that we
close at 5.30pm so a 2 hour service is not
available.
We are currently handling volumes of
freight that has been our highest
record to date. This is a reflection
not only of how well the New
Zealand economy is doing, but how
successful we are as a local business. With this in
mind, we are experiencing that some of our
drivers are being kept waiting while goods are
being prepared for delivery.
The longer our
drivers are waiting the slower the parcels on
board are being delivered. To ensure that we
maintain our high level of jobs on time, as of the
1st April any parcel that is not ready to be
collected or any driver kept waiting a waiting fee
of $4.00 will be charged.
Lot numbers – no deliver
It is extremely difficult to deliver items to on-site
workers that are working at street & houses that
are identified with lot numbers. As our drivers are
spending extensive time looking for these
unidentified streets and lot numbers we have
made the decision not to deliver to lot numbers,
or streets that are not on google maps.

Words from Dispatch – Marcia
February saw a reshuffle in the dispatch office
with Marcia West taking on the role of dispatch
manager.
Here she shares a few words:
“Thanks for bearing with the adjustment phase
and teething period that’s followed. I strive to
bring the same level of quality as dispatcher that I
brought to customer services on the phones. You
are all equably valuable and I aim to treat you
accordingly.
I look forward to a new and
prosperous era for us all.
With humble thanks and kind regards,
Marcia
