1322452 2013-01-13 00:19:00 I have a CourierPost parcel coming from Computer Food which was put in the hands of the courier in Auckland late on Friday afternoon using economy class which means a target of 2-3 working days. I am hoping that it will travel to Invercargill over the weekend and be in my hands tomorrow.

In the past I have had overnight delivery from ComputerLounge or Elive. I have to wonder if Economy class means that it travels by land transport rather than by air freight.

It would have overnighted in the depot in Auckland and maybe gone on the flight on Saturday.
Then it would stay in the Christchurch Depot till Monday (nothing happens on Sunday) and be driven down
It will then overnight in the Invercargill Depot and be out for delivery on Tuesday.

If it did not hit the Saturday flight then it wouldn't have left till Monday.
Overnight Monday night in the Christchurch Depot
Driven down on Tuesday and overnight in the Invercargill Depot
Delivery Wednesday.

1322454 2013-01-13 04:20:00 Anything I ordered from Auckland which was sent Courierpost arrived next day in Southland.

Posthaste on the other hand would send it to Invercargill, who would promptly put it back on their next truck to Dunedin, who would then send it to Wyndham.

Why? Invercargill blamed Auckland, Auckland blamed Dunedin.
None of them could see the stupidity in having it go past my place back to Dunedin and back out again.

I would, if I could catch them quick enough, go fetch it from Invercargill.

Bobh my post was of course related to a 3-4 day Economy ticket as you mentioned.

1322457 2013-01-13 23:52:00 Parts ordered from Elements14 (ex Farnell) in Australia mid-afternoon arrived at my door less than 24 hours later.

Now that is service!

RS not so much. NZ Couriers took 2 years to deliver some capacitors to me once!

Overnight may not include the weekend. Then again, Posthaste were never the best any time I got sent anything by them.
