For Customers in Wellington & Christchurch
Jungle Air is our very own priority delivery service which operates 7 days a week within Wellington and Christchurch! All Jungle Air orders are sent out and delivered on a same or next-day service.
We offer a similar service for Auckland called Jungle Express- you can learn more about this here.
Jungle Air is an optional premium delivery upgrade in checkout, and you will be presented with this option if your order and address are eligible for this service.
Our drivers deliver parcels to eligible addresses all over Wellington and Christchurch between 5 - 9:30pm. We use live-tracking technology so you can stay updated on the delivery progress of your parcel. Once your driver starts your delivery, you can track the progress using the SMS tracking link provided to your mobile phone.
Because we use SMS tracking reminders which are sent straight to your mobile number, a New Zealand phone number will be requested in checkout to give you access to these tracking services.
Please Note: Jungle Air is not available for closed business addresses, or PO Box/Parcel Collect addresses. We require instructions for delivery to properties with restricted access.

If you are expected to be home at the time of delivery, you can leave a comment for the driver to call you upon arrival.
