Urgent Couriers' Guidelines for Chilled and Frozen Deliveries

Urgent Couriers provides specialized services for chilled and frozen deliveries, catering to various temperature-sensitive and geographic-specific needs. Below, we address key aspects of these services, including delivery coverage, service specifics, and packaging requirements.

Delivery Coverage and Specific Area Requirements

Coverage Areas

Urgent Couriers delivers chilled and frozen items throughout areas within its network. For specific locations, such as Rukuhia near the Hamilton Airport, a detailed address is required to confirm service availability. If you are unsure whether your location is covered, it’s best to contact the support team with full address details for confirmation.

Address Specificity

Providing exact address details is crucial for areas outside of central delivery zones. This ensures accurate confirmation of service availability, especially for regions with more logistical nuances.

Chilled and Frozen Delivery Specifics

Service Options

Urgent Couriers offers frozen and chilled delivery services both domestically and through economy flight services. For example:

  • Economy Flight Service: Chilled cheese samples can be sent, although there is no same-day chilled service available. Costs may depend on delivery specifics.

If you’re considering sending chilled items, feel free to inquire about the availability of other routes or services based on your preferences.

Packaging and Shipment Guidelines

Standard Packaging Features

All shipments requiring chilled or frozen delivery are packaged with ice packs and insulating materials. However, delivery timeframes must be taken into account:

  • Road deliveries may take up to 48 hours.

  • Friday shipments may lead to delays exceeding the standard timeframe.

We recommend carefully considering the sufficiency of insulation provided relative to the shipping duration. Recipients should ensure that the level of packaging meets their logistical and temperature-maintenance requirements.
