New Zealand’s Best Courier Service Revealed: Aramex

Aramex (including Fastway) has taken out Canstar Blue’s award for Most Satisfied Customers | Courier Services.
The way we shop has changed in the last few years. Brick and mortar stores have been making way for online retailers. And with a few clicks of a button (and the entering of a long card number) you can buy just about anything you need online.
Online shopping has been growing year on year. And with Covid-19, the shift has only been magnified. Last year in New Zealand, online shopping was up around 30%.

So with more revenue moving to online sales, it’s more important than ever to have a fast and reliable courier service. One that can get your customers the items they ordered, without any stress or hassle. Because running a small business is tough work. Without reliable shipping, customers are inclined to look elsewhere. So it’s paramount you get the right provider.

So, as part of our mission to inform consumers of the best NZ has to offer, Canstar Blue canvassed the opinions of NZ small business owners who had used a courier for business purposes in the past year, across a range of categories, to measure and track their satisfaction.

To decide which Courier Service provider offers the best level of customer satisfaction, each was rated across the following categories:

  • Reliability of Service
  • Tracking Services
  • Value for Money
  • Problem Resolution
  • Delivery Timeliness Options
  • Booking Process
  • Pick Up and Drop Off Options

Coming out on top this year is Aramex. Aramex, formerly Fastway, scored an impressive 5-Star rating in almost every category measured, Including Customer Satisfaction. For Reliability of Service (on-time pick ups and drop offs) they earned a respectable 4 Stars. A fantastic score, it’s a testament to the demands couriers are under as online shopping habits grow.

A for Aramex

Aramex may be a new name on the block here in New Zealand, but they have years of experience. Aramex is considered one of the leading logistics and transportation companies globally, so it’s fair to say they know what they’re doing. And if that wasn’t enough to convince you, Aramex New Zealand is actually the rebranding of New Zealand favourite Fastway, founded here in 1983 by Napier man, Bill McGowan. The Kiwi courier could be found zipping all across Aotearoa before they became a part of the Aramex family. So, as Aramex, you are getting the same great service, with the seamless global service Aramex provides.
