Another is that strategically we have been organised enough to take advantage of this growth.” Despite the amount of work recieved it was always fun getting the job done alongside coworkers who. My experience in working for Post Haste Couriers I’d say was hectic due to work loads recieved on busy periods. Mail Sorter/Dispatch (Former Employee) - Penrose, Auckland - 18 July 2018.

POST HASTE COURIERS PALMERSTON NORTH CRACKED
In 2004 the company sold $63-million worth of parts last year it cracked the $144-million mark. Toyota NZ has seen massive growth in its parts and accessories business in the past 14 years. In 2005 $11.3-million worth of accessories were sold by Toyota NZ – last year they topped $27.9-million. Parts & Accessory Sales manager Sven Tulicic says they can provide 97.8 percent of accessories off the shelf – and that’s not easy in a department that is growing rapidly as more and more owners want to customise their vehicles. It’s an even better situation with accessories. And if there was sufficient demand for a particular part, this would be added to the local inventory. He added that when Toyota NZ couldn’t supply a part off the shelf, it would be airfreighted from Japan or other source factories at no extra cost to the customer. “And every day we get asked for 30-40 parts we didn’t expect because of used imports.” “Our record is 90,000 parts lines in one month,” says Dave Rhodes-Robinson, manager Parts & Logistics Operations. Toyota says it can deliver more than 95 percent of parts ordered, right off the shelf – and that includes parts for used imports which might vary in minute detail from parts for NZ-new vehicles. In a country where around one in four vehicles is a Toyota, Lexus or Daihatsu, this is a big ask, and the nett result is that Toyota NZ has more than $25-million of parts stock in its local inventory, and most of them available within 24 hours anywhere in the country.Īnd that’s no idle boast. John Oxley went to Palmerston North to have a look at Toyota’s parts department – and came away amazed.ĭo you know that Toyota holds parts for most Toyota group vehicles imported into New Zealand, even if they aren’t New Zealand-new?
