Friday 9th September will see the opening of the Rugby World Cup in Auckland. To accommodate both the celebrations at waterfront and the game at Eden Park, several street closures are planned.
Great news if you want to join in the celebrations, but a bit tricky for delivering parcels!
Whilst we will endeavour to maintain services wherever we can, we will however be unable to access some areas that day.
We have taken on board additional bike couriers to assist with delivering your items across the areas affected by the rugby world cup, however they too will have limited access across the following times.
The affected areas are as follows:
