Company Profile
A History of Innovation
Post Haste origins began back in 1977 when Armourguard Security Couriers (the original Freightways courier company) became Courier Systems Limited. We were established to be serious competition to the then independently owned NZ Couriers. A national network based on the existing Freightways road transport system was set up. It was not long before Courier Systems Limited was seen as a force to be reckoned with in the New Zealand market.
In 1988 Courier Systems Ltd changed its name to Post Haste.
Since its inception, Post Haste have established a strong and dynamic presence within the express parcel industry, developing a highly efficient distribution network locally, nationally and internationally. Our key focus over the years has been to develop long-term business relationships with both small and large customers.
The Brand
Time for a Change?
Our new look highlights our New Zealand origins and the pride that is associated with being a local courier company with great national coverage.
It’s not just about refreshing our look, it’s also refreshing our business attitude by investment in our people, operations and the technology that supports both. Our customers will reap the benefits of clearer focus through our people, our service and the final package that this delivers.
How We Do It
Continuous development and refinement of New Zealand's most extensive nation-wide network means that we deliver to 99% of populated New Zealand.
With over 240 couriers and 20 branches servicing 360 towns and cities nation-wide we deliver almost everywhere, every working day of the year. We also have access to an additional network of 750 couriers through our sister companies NZ Couriers, Castle Parcels and Sub60.
A dedicated fleet of 54 line-haul vehicles and 5 cargo aircraft means that we can attain our service standard of regional same day deliveries and overnight by noon to main business centres.
We have 87 Customer Services staff nationwide dedicated to providing you with fantastic back up service.
