Company profile

A history of innovation

Post Haste has been looking after New Zealand's courier needs for over 40 years now, beginning as Armourguard Security way back in 1977. We were one of the first courier companies to blaze a trail in New Zealand, and have been innovating since the 1970s. Since then, so much has changed, yet at our heart we remain the same – a Kiwi business with strong Kiwi values of doing it right by our customers.

The brand

In 2020 we made the decision to re-fresh the brand logo in an effort to not only refresh the image but to refresh our business attitude by investment in our customers, operations and innovation technology that supports both.

It is important that our brand reflects the major factors that influence our business and the pathway that has been created to achieve our goals.

The fern, an iconic symbol that represents our commitment to New Zealand business and the people that grow them. At Post Haste this two-tone fern with its soft edges is a reflection of our business approach. Kiwi centric, based on the strength of relationships between our customers and ourselves and the road we travel together.

How we do it

More than a network of vans, planes and branches...

These days Post Haste has grown to become a large part of New Zealand's courier infrastructure with 16 branches nationwide and 330 couriers servicing 360 towns and cities across our fair land.

A comprehensive combination of New Zealand's main commercial / business regions, residential and rural addresses means with Post Haste and the Freightways group of companies, there is nowhere in New Zealand you can't reach within 24 hours.

...we're a network of great people

Post Haste people recognise that we are an important part of your business. We recognise this in the way we work, how we price what we do and how we add value to your business. We'll get involved and we'll work with you in a very real and human way.
