I think some local depots are better than others. My only wish is there was a shipping option where I can just go down to the depot to collect.
Hmm, I used to live near an NZ post depot and that used to be what we did. We were never home, so would just pick it up from the depot after work (after their failed delivery).
I guess they have the pickup points now, but only NZ post. I've definitely in the past picked up from other depots as well, but I guess no one actually let's you have it delivered to the depot (except perhaps NZ post letting you have it delivered to a post shop).
Honestly I wish all sites let you choose NZ post in addition to other options, I'd happily pay more to not have to use Aramex!
I used to do it for fastway/aramex and post haste depots here where I would ring them up when I saw the tracking say it’s at the depot and ask if I can come and pick it up. They are usually always ok with it.
NZ post however doesn’t advertise the depot numbers, only the 0800 number so it’s much more hassle. But they’ve been quite quick lately and most parcels get delivered over night any way.
Yeah never have issues with NZ post. I never thought of calling the Aramex depot, that sounds like a smart idea.
