Training and Support
You don’t need a background in freight or logistics to be part of the team at PACK & SEND. In fact, some of our most successful franchisees were landscape gardeners, insurance representatives and administration assistants. We are confident that the training and support that you will receive, both initial and ongoing, will provide you with the necessary skills to fully operate your PACK & SEND store from day one.

Upon your return from Christchurch and once your PACK & SEND store is ready for business, further in-store support is provided for your first week of operation.
