These parcel notification terms (“Terms”) apply if you are set up to have your customers receive parcel notifications from us when you send them items by relevant Courier and Express services. These Terms also apply if we receive customer information from you before you are set up. If you receive courier services from us under our standard terms, then these form part of the Service Terms - Courier Services. If you receive courier services under another agreement with us, then these terms will form part of that agreement instead.

Nature of Service

1. The parcel notification service lets your customers receive notifications about the status of their courier parcels via email or SMS messages from us. More detailed specifications for the service can be found in the document titled “Sales Collateral Parcel Notification Service” previously provided to you.
2. To be set up for the parcel notification service, you must provide us with the registration information we request from you. This may include your TPID (account number), whether your parcels are signature required or not, whether you wish to use email or SMS for your parcel notifications, whether your parcels enable adds on (like no ATL, age restricted, or dangerous goods), and the likely volume of parcel notifications we may need to send to your customers.
3. Parcel notifications will only be sent for parcels with a New Zealand delivery address, and only for parcels where you provide us with an email address or mobile number (as applicable) in the correct field on the delivery manifest.
4. You can stop using the parcel notification service whenever you like by sending us 5 business days’ written notice.

Fees

5. The fees for the parcel notification service are as notified to you, or published on our website, from time to time. Any change to the fees will be notified or published at least 30 days before it takes effect.
