I know that with Couriers outside of main centers you have to phone ahead to see if they will deliver. I'm in Northland and depending upon where the item is going I may change couriers. Different companies structure the runs differently based upon their core customers delivery/pickup sites. If you are on the route then you should be able to get a drop off delivery.
But in the end if you are rural you may have to bite the bullet and have it sent to the nearest depo/agent then drive in.
ie I send stuff to family at Cookes beach (Whitianga, Coromandal Peninsular) but they have to drive in to Whitianga to collect or it will end up on the RD run and take an extra 4 days or longer.
