Covid-19 Alert Level 2 Services: Warehouse Access
Now that we are having to operate at Covid-19 Alert Level 4, and given the latest news and information from the New Zealand Government, there is a chance that New Zealand may be in lockdown for longer than expected.
Over the past year, Tastok has been working to make Covid-19 Alert Levels easier and safer for our customers to work with us in.
As an essential service, and having a warehouse of operations during this lockdown, we are able to provide safe entry and drop-off from our locations. However, rules do apply.
We have prepared our warehouse so that people can drive up to the roller door. From there, the rules must be followed:
Please park in front of our roller door. If there is a car there, please park and await your turn. Our reception, office and bathroom will be locked and unavailable to our customers during Level 4 and Level 3. Access to our warehouse is restricted and highlighted by cones.
Please wear a mask. No mask, no service. Hand sanitizer is also on site for use. We recommend using it.
Please scan our QR Code when dropping off freight, or fill in our track and trace form. This helps the New Zealand government should they find that a person testing positive has visited our location. By doing this, you are helping your community.
Please fill out our customer form online and print it out to bring with you. If you can’t print it out, we can print it for you. Then all you will need to do is sign it. If you don’t have the ability to fill in a form, give us a call, and we will have a form prepared for you to sign on arrival.
It is preferred that one person per vehicle is able to unload their freight onto the pallet or trolley made available to you. All packages will be wiped down appropriately before being processed.
Once procedures have been met, you may leave. If there are any issues, we will give you a call. If we have more than one customer, we will signal them to park in front of the warehouse next. This enables us to serve one customer at a time, helping to keep social distancing in place.
Contact us for more information. Kia totonu, kia nonofo mo e puipui mo e leveki e tau momoui.
Covid-19 Alert Level 4 Services: Online Orders
Now that we are having to operate at Covid-19 Alert Level 4, and given the latest news and information from the New Zealand Government, there is a chance that New Zealand may be in lockdown for longer than expected.
Over the past year, Tastok has been working to make Covid-19 Alert Levels easier and safer for our customers to work with us in.
With the restrictions set in place by the New Zealand Government, some items are unavailable for purchase unless they are considered essential. We do have accounts with many suppliers such as Gilmours, Bunnings, Mitre 10, NZ Safety, The Warehouse and many other online businesses.
We are able to make orders for our family and friends in Niue, and then organise freight and Niue Customs clearance. We are working on an order form to help make this service easier to work with, and are happy to provide quotes upon request.

The Airport Fekau
When Covid-19 caused lockdown in March 2020, there were a lot of changes that we all had to adjust to. The border for Niue was highly restricted, flights to Niue were reduced and highly restricted and families were cut off from one another. The opportunity to get goods from New Zealand to Niue became more difficult, and we have done our best to help everyone.
One of the issues that we were trying to help with was the airport fekau - when a small package is brought to the airport for family or friends to carry to Niue on a flight. Usually with a small payment as a thank you. Restricted travel for family and friends meant restricted check-in and carry-on space.
We had an issue with the cost for these small items. So in an effort to help our customers as best as possible, we introduced the Knick Knack Box service. Basically, we created a “box” for all the little knick knacks (packages) to go into. Breaking up the cost for the “box” being shipped, the cost for a small package became more affordable.
This meant that we could send an airport fekau for our customers at a cost similar to the small “thank you” payment. The main reason for creating the Knick Knack Box service.
As we move forward and efforts to get Covid-19 under control improve the situation, we will continue this service indefinitely. As it will help our customers avoid traveling to the airport on plane day, and with our Courier Service we can even help with getting goods to our Knick Knack box when time and circumstance are inconvenient.
If you have any further queries with regards to this service, we are happy to help. Feel free to contact us. Monuina e aho.
