Courier charges increase.

We endeavour to charge a flat rate depending on whether North Island, South Island, Urban or Rural all of which are different.
We try to set these delivery charges to cover costs but no more. Often the charge made to you is less than what the courier company charge.
All of these charges have increased via a fuel surcharge over recent months and now courier companies are also increasing charges for other services.
A typical notice is as attached in the image. This notice is from Post Haste, but other courier companies are doing exactly the same.
Our rates increased in line with the fuel surcharge increase recently, and we will not be applying the increase shown unless the fuel surcharge increases again.

The charges we make are intended to cover the cost of freight and no more.
Thank you for your business which is greatly appreciated

If you train a Japanese martial art, you may be interested to understand where the etiquette that is involved originated.
Etiquette is not simply a formality imposed on practitioners, it is an important part of the training experience and creates the environment conducive to positive learning in a structured setting.

For 800 years, the Ogasawara family has taught Japanese etiquette through daily actions. We learn how this cultivates self-awareness and understanding of others.
