COMMUNITY NOTICE - Courier & Freight Services at Level 3
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.

Where to find us:

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
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
Do you think this ban is reasonable?

76.2% Yes
