My address is not a Rural Delivery address

October 01, 2024 17:20

I'm getting a tad annoyed with Trademe! They are saying my address is Rural Delivery when it is not. I have had other purchases delivered to my address with zero problems but all of a sudden they say my address is an RD delivery. The street in which i live is a relatively new street in an old suberb of Palmerston North. Come on Trademe get your act together and release my purchase! Ross

Hi.

It will not be Trade Me directly saying your Rural. It will be up to the Courier Company Delivery Maps.

Aramex has different Rural areas to NZ Post. So while you may not be Rural with NZ Post you might be classed as Rural with Aramex or vis versa.

Hi ross. As Teresa says your address could indeed be Rural with one or more different couriers. You can use this link to check it.

My problem is when entering shipping for the box I was sending, size being 60 x 40 x 40 came to $12.20 when loading my auction, however, when selling the item the box I managed to get it into was 47 x 36 x 30 - and under 3kg, the address doesn't come up as rural but the shipping is $33.28 - what's going on????

Hi Jan. I don't know any courier that would get an item across the country of that size for $12.20. I suggest you might have made a mistake when you input your dimensions originally. Either that or you calculated it on a local rate. So within the same region.
