USL has a delivery partnership with NZ Post. This partnership gives us access to an extensive network of drivers and the latest delivery technology.
There are several processes in place to ensure that both USL and NZ Post meet required service levels, and we measure the achieved service level daily. The measure is taken from the time an order is released into our warehouse management system to the time it is dispatched.
The table below indicates USL and NZ Post service level targets for USL’s current business requirements:
