COVID-19 NZ Couriers: The Tortoise, The Hare, and the Snail; CourierPost is the Latest Loser! Talk about Snail Mail!

======================================================================
Update:
======================================================================
Sadly Pet Depot is no longer providing good service. Cat food ordered on 2 July was not ready for the courier to pick up until 10 July- over a week! Today (14 July) we are still waiting for the food to be delivered 😦

CourierPost is the Latest Loser: 18 days to deliver a parcel!
A very late Mother’s Day present for Jenny from ThinLizzy.

In New Zealand, in one seven day period we made three online orders to three companies.

Each company used a different courier company for delivery.

Our orders arrived in reverse order of my purchases.

Our first order arrived last, my last order arrived first:

• NZ Couriers:    1 day to deliver (2 days from order)
• Aramex:           3 days to deliver (9 days from order)
  (Aramex had been on TV news about slow delivery)
• CourierPost: 18 days to deliver (20 days from order)
  (put in our letterbox- not where we specified)

Below are our orders:
(Company; Order time; Courier; Pickup time; Delivery time)

• Pet Depot: 12/5 11.22 am; NZ Couriers: 12/5 4.12 pm; 13/5 3:10 pm
• Briscoes:     9/5 1.29 pm; Aramex: 15/5 5:14 pm; 18/5 8:11 am
• ThinLizzy:  6/5 6:50 pm;  CourierPost:  8/5 11:43; 26/5 3:57pm

Below is the tracking from the Courier Companies:
