Dear valued customer

Due to weather related road closures overnight there will be delays with deliveries into Central Otago today (Wed 31 July).

All deliveries to Cromwell, Queenstown, Wanaka, Alexandra, Roxburgh and the surrounding areas will be delayed by approximately 5 hours.

Please advise your customers, and refrain from requesting any ETA’s for these areas before 12pm.

We are expecting further snow conditions across the South Island over the next 24 hours, and we will send further updates if there are any more delays.

Thank you for your patience and understanding during these weather related delays.

Kind Regards,
Big Chill Distribution Ltd
