Intercity Delivery

North Island, between the main centres

Same-day courier between the North Island’s main cities, every day. When freight needs to move between Whangarei, Auckland, Hamilton, Tauranga and Taupo, we move it, same-day where the timing works and overnight where it does not. Same fleet, same drivers, the same care across every parcel, whether it is a single envelope or a regular run between depots.

One network across the main centres

We run daily between these centres, not just in and out of Auckland. A parcel leaving one city in the morning can be in another the same day, handled by our own people start to finish, not handed off to a third party along the way.

The same care on every parcel

A delivery between cities should not be lower-stakes than one across town, and we do not run it that way. The same drivers, the same tracking and the same proof of delivery apply to an intercity run as to a local one. You get a live tracking link from pickup to drop-off, so a parcel moving three hours down the road is as visible as one moving three suburbs.

37 years on the road

We have been moving freight up and down the North Island for 37 years. Urgent is New Zealand owned and family run, built on getting the small things right, the pickup that happens on time, the call that gets answered, the delivery that lands where it should. For businesses that send between the main centres regularly, we can set up a standing run so it is handled the same way every time.

Built for deliveries that can’t fail.
