NZ Fragile Goods Courier

Handled like it matters, because it does

Fragile courier services, for the parcels that can’t break.

Some parcels you can throw in the back of a van. Most of what we move isn’t like that. Glassware moving between showrooms. Lab equipment to a clinic. A piece of art to a buyer’s office. A wedding gift across town. A piece of inherited china that can’t be replaced. When something matters enough to be marked fragile, it matters enough to be handled differently.

What we deliver, with care:
  • Glassware, ceramics, and breakables for retail and trade.
  • Electronics, computer equipment, and lab instruments.
  • Artwork, frames, photography, and gallery pieces.
  • Furniture, mirrors, and homewares.
  • Wines, spirits, and bottled goods (chilled where required)
  • Personal effects, antiques, and irreplaceable items.
  • Medical and surgical instruments where breakage isn’t an option.

Same care across every parcel, the same drivers loading and unloading every job.

Built for businesses sending fragile

The businesses we move fragile freight for, every week:

Retailers shipping glass, ceramic, or electronics.

Medical suppliers sending diagnostic or sensitive kits.

Galleries or collectors delivering framed art or sculptures.

Ecommerce brands moving fragile to customers.

If you work with a 3PL partner, we collect directly from their warehouse and apply the same fragile-handling standards from pickup through to your customer.

Packaging Advice for Fragile Items

To help us help you, we recommend:

Double-wall boxes with foam, bubble wrap, or paper cushioning.

Clear FRAGILE labelling and “This Side Up” arrows where the orientation matters.

Stop internal movement with foam, bubble wrap, or rigid dividers.

If you’re unsure how to pack something, talk to our team. We’ve seen what works and what doesn’t, and we’d rather help you pack it right than collect it wrong.

The people loading your fragile freight are the same people unloading it at the other end.
