COMMUNITY NOTICE - Courier & Freight Services at Level 3

Ngaire from PACK & SEND Palmerston North

The past four weeks have been like nothing New Zealand has seen before! We’ve been in this together, so we would like to say a heart felt thank you to all our customers, with a special thank you to those that have supported us during level 4.

The past four weeks have been like nothing New Zealand has seen before! We’ve been in this together, so we would like to say a heart felt thank you to all our customers, with a special thank you to those that have supported us during level 4.

Ironically, we opened our business on the 25th March 2019 and closed it due to COVID-19, exactly a year to the day. Not quite the birthday celebration we planned, but it was the right one to ensure we get through this period in the safest and healthiest possible way. However, this has been at a significantly reduced capacity.

We are passionate about supporting local because we are Proudly Palmy and we are sure that if we support local business we will build a better and stronger community together.

As we move to Level 3 on Tuesday, we would like to reach out to our neighbours to let you know that through PACK & SEND Palmerston North;

• Domestic and International courier and freight needs will resume at competitive prices.

• When using our services we can provide FREE pickups within the Palmerston North city boundaries so you can stay safely in your bubble.

• Provide contactless payment options.

• In service centre packing service will also be available

• We can provide custom made boxes for those Fragile, Large, Awkward and Valuable items.

• NO CHARGE delivery if you are purchasing our quality boxes and packaging material.

• 100% commitment to outstanding customer service

Where to find us:
355 Main Street (Between Moxies and Steve Parson’s House of Travel)
On a side note; Moxies are also setup for meal deliveries and contactless coffee fix services. Check out their Facebook page for information.

Want to drop off your parcels?
No problem, we are all set up to meet the Covid-19 non-contact restrictions to keep you all safe with a convenient loading zone in front of our service centre.

Thank you once again for supporting local businesses.

All the best and keep safe.
Ngaire & Damon O’Donnell

Stories from the ANZACs

ANZAC Day will be marked a little differently this year. We’ll be warm and cosy at home and The Last Post won’t start until you press play. But one thing will be the same – remembrance.

ANZAC Day will be marked a little differently this year. We’ll be warm and cosy at home and The Last Post won’t start until you press play. But one thing will be the same – remembrance.

To help us remember those who served and understand what ‘to serve’ meant, Ryman recorded their ANZAC resident’s stories. Some are humorous, others are tragic and eye-opening, but they all offer insight into the courage, bravery, and determination required to serve.

What better way to remember than to read the memories of those who were there?
