What our customers have to say
The Queenstown P & S provided me really great service. I was using a really good walking stick on my many hikes in NZ. I decided at the last minute that I wanted to bring it home to the States with me. Unfortunately, I decided this on Sunday morning as I was leaving for the airport. The store was closed so I left the stick with a note on their doorstep. They contacted me by email and phone, and then a few days later my stick arrived at my home in perfect condition. Thank you for perfect service !!!!

We were trying to bring home family heirlooms whilst visiting earlier this year and the Pack and Send team were the only company prepared to help. They packaged the items really well and they arrived to Australia from NZ in excellent time. We’ll always be grateful for your help!

The service is very expensive and works, but beware - at the time of dropping off our excess luggage to be sent back to our home country we were not informed of the possiblity of there being additional customs administration charges to be paid in order to release the items from customs at destination. This caused a serious inconvenience to the person we had entrusted with collecting our items. Upon contacting Pack and Send in Queenstown they did not offer to refund the extra charges to us but merely apologised which was of no help whatsoever.

These people could not have been more helpful; made an accurate cost assessment, talked me through processes for getting shipment ready, labelled, collected and delivered, with alerts when I needed to do something further. Package arrived in excellent condition and staff were very friendly and helpful. I tried to do same task with other places and could not even get a reply to my queries. These people are so helpful and good at their work.

I am an Arrowtown artist selling high-end artworks to a largely international market, so the company I use has to know how to handle artworks and be reliable with deliveries. I have sent my artwork using Pack and Send Queenstown for several years now and they are fantastic at what they do. The staff are friendly and helpful and take the greatest care of my paintings. Every item that they have handled has arrived safely and been in perfect condition. I thoroughly recommend using Pack and Send Queenstown.

Unbelievable troubleshooting and brainstorming of solutions to a problem I got myself into. Shane at Pack & Send in Queenstown was able to source domestic transport for my parcel from Queenstown to Auckland within hours of our conversation. The information given to me by Shane allowed me to price my realistic best option, both financially and reliably which Pack & Send where miles ahead of all other companies and personal ideas. Can not thank them enough for their service and again HIGHLY recommend their business to any urgent package deliveries based on my experience. Ryan

I have been sending packages with QST P&S for several years. They have always been very helpful and have packaged the goods superbly. Lately I accidently left some photos behind and they were so kind as to Pack and Send them for me. Their courteous service goes above and beyond the normal call of duty. Their prices also are very competitive. Therefore overall they offer an excellent service.

Terrible service, would NOT recommend. They collected a valuable neon artwork to send to the UK but broke it before they even packed it. And then refused to pay for its replacement, offering only 10% of its value. They didn’t ask me to complete any forms and didn’t say that it wasn’t insured. Had to fight to even get a direct response from Matthew Everest the CEO. Definitely wouldn’t advice anyone to use them.

The most unprofessional and unsufficient company that I ever used in my life, terrible service Didn't provide correct informationThey didn't even know what they can send and not. Me and my Partner decided to sent a suitcase to Argentina. We werent aware about the laws and PACK'N'SEND neither even when is their job. Suitcase stopped in customs for 3 months and even hiring brokers as they told us we couldn't get it through. Brokers told us from day 1 that was impossible to freed an item like that. They don't inform you at all they just take your money, even they lie to you to cover themselvesCost 700 dollars and now suitcase is broken and back in New Zealand. Service incomplete and they don't want to refund the money. Waste of time and money. Definitely I do not recommend

We had exceptional service from Prue who help us send our ski gear back to the UK. She went above and beyond our expections, helping us pack our things effectively into a small box to save us money as well as accomodating our complex logistical demands. Could not recommend them enough. Thanks again

Updated, see end:I submitted the online form for a quote, the followed up with a phone call and the quote came through later that day. There were 3 mistakes on the quote including the destination of the package, the service requested and that it needed picked up. I rang to correct the information so that I could get the quote updated. I was told that I was wrong about my postcode and the staff member on the phone proceeded to talk over me and insist that the were correct ( the quote said wanaka instead of queenstown as the destination). The never sent a new quote, it's been a week. This was for $700 worth of shipping and insurance. I will avoid dealing with them again and would suggest that you look for other options.---------------Pack and Send contacted me after leaving the review and did a very good job of remediating the situation. Their communication was good and they worked very hard to ensure that the situation was satisfactorily resolved.

I use Pack and send for all of my overseas artwork. They box them all up beautifully and then arrange for DHL to collect from them. Takes all the worry out of the process and I can send fragile artworks with confidence knowing they will arrive in one piece. Thank you Marsden and Pru for doing such an amazing professional job at such a reasonable price.

The package was sent in the name of the company rather than the actual sender so recipient wouldn't know who it's from.

To Lindsay & Emily @ Pack & Send Dunedin.I have been living in China for some time now but still buy the odd thing from New Zealand and have it sent over. Last time I used another NZ wide postal service and the 10 day delivery ended up taking 3 months to arrive (with no tracking!). This time I remembered using Pack & Send from my days in Dunedin so emailed them to see if they could help. I am so glad I did.The service was exemplary and hassle free. I didn't have to worry about anything, Lindsay and Emily took care of all of it for me. And my package arrived, at my door in China, 3 days later!!!.Never have I experienced such wonderful, friendly and efficient service. Well done guys, you are the absolute best!

To Jeremy - Pack & Send, Takapuna Branch, Auckland.There I was sitting at home late this afternoon, when my phone rang and it was a courier (a very friendly lady), to say that she was close by and about to deliver the Chair and Footstool! It was such a lovely surprise, as I didn't expect delivery of it quite so soon.Jeremy, they both look fantastic in their designated room, and I especially have you to thank for the professionally wrapped, and speedy delivery, and I'm ever so grateful to you and your team at the Takapuna Branch, for making the whole process so easy and painless for me.I look forward to dealing with you again, because with the superb service you have provided, I now have every reason to always use Pack and Send, so thanks again!

Blown away at these guys' packaging. I had a very fragile and large item sent last week.. it did take a bit longer to arrive than anticipated but when I saw how well it was wrapped I could see why. A foam padded box, bubblewrap, cardboard and cable ties. These guys sure know how to package stuff properly. AAA+++

These guys Mark and Andrew couldn't have tried any harder to help me and they undercut NZ Post hugely.They will be getting all of my repeat business in the future.And to top it all off they tell me that my package will be delivered in less than a week. In the past it has taken up to three weeks for a smaller parcel go go to the same address.Hats off to you Mark and your super cool staff.

I would like to publicly thank, and recommend Richard from Tauranga Pack and Send. I required an urgent shipment of furniture and personal effects from Whakatane to Sydney in a very short time-frame and Richard could not have been more accommodating or willing! He uplifted within a couple of days and when I went to his office in Tauranga the day after uplifting to complete all the paperwork, he had packaged all items so thoroughly and carefully. He also helped me complete the customs paperwork very efficiently and within about 20 minutes we were all done! He kept me informed of progress and I received my shipment at my home in Sydney exactly one week later! Richard is professional, efficient and he cares about what he does. I can't recommend him and his service highly enough! I am so grateful. Elizabeth Sullivan, Sydney
