Countdown
Countdown have reinstated their priority service meaning that disabled people and people who are over 70 can get their shopping delivered quicker. Anyone that has previously been approved as a priority customer does not have to reapply - you will already have priority access to delivery slots for your online shopping.
If you have not already applied, DPA have a code for our members to use for the Priority Assist application - please email info@dpa.org.nz if you need this priority service and don’t have a code.
New World and PAK'n'SAVE
A priority online ordering line for "elderly or vulnerable customers" has now been set for New World and PAK’n'SAVE customers. Customers can call 0800 363 977 between 9am-5pm Monday to Friday to book a priority slot at selected stores that have opted into the service.
