The store at Pack & Send Riccarton, as well as the staff, was spared by the devastating earthquakes in February last year. Since that dreadful event they have been busy assisting the businesses and people of Christchurch get back on their feet.

Some examples of the work that the team at Pack & Send Riccarton performed:

  • Retrieved and delivered over 1500 suitcases, backpacks, laptops and cellphones back to International tourists and business people who were staying in hotels located in the city on the 22nd February
  • Supplied over 1000 packing boxes to residents and business owners who had to evacuate their premises.
  • Provided packaging materials for the recovery and storage of the irreplaceable stain-glass windows at St Paul's Parish and Wooden Cross atop the Catholic Cathedral.
  • Packed and Sent numerous computer servers for Christchurch businesses to various locations around the country, and Australia, so they could continue operating.
