Couriers
Please is a wholly owned subsidiary of New Zealand Post Ltd. It supports a
modern, efficient and well-presented fleet comprising over 500 self-employed
courier contractors who are all highly motivated in their mission to provide
a superior level of service. Contractors cover Melbourne, Sydney, Adelaide,

to several major regional areas such as the the Queensland Sunshine Coast,
Northern Rivers area of the North Coast of NSW, Newcastle, the Central Coast,
the Blue Mountains, Wollongong and the South Coast. Couriers Please deliver
over eight million parcels each year.
Founded in 1983, the Couriers Please system is commonly regarded as Australia's
leading courier parcel distribution network. Couriers Please provides facilities
to a large number of independent contractors allowing them jointly to form
an efficient and cost effective distribution network. The Couriers Please
System is a hub and spoke system. Each contractor works in a set geographical
area, picking up and delivering goods within that area only. Couriers Please
provides various depot facilities, and at pre-determined times during the
day, all contractors return to the central depot or local sub depot to sort
and exchange freight. Depots in different cities are linked overnight by air
or road linehaul to provide an overnight express service.
Our superior position is maintained with support of highly automated and responsive
technologies, including Ezytrak electronic scanning and signature capture,
Ezytone touch-tone booking, Ezynet online booking, mobile data despatch and
Ezytrak online track and trace. These systems combine to enable customers
to place a booking, track a shipment, obtain a POD, and enjoy all the benefits
of our state-of-the-art technology at your convenience.
As we look to the future we recognise the importance of building a strong
national and international network that supports an economic region on the
move. We will strive to enhance our reputation as Australia's leading parcel
distribution network.
