DIY and Horticulture 3PL in New Zealand

Working in this field for over 25 years, RPC has been delivering products to garden centres across Auckland and the greater region.

As we have grown, our focus has diversified to see us working in building and DIY products too. RPC picks orders and delivers to garden centres and DIY stores throughout Auckland, and New Zealand every week.

Thinking Outside the Box to Build Solutions

It's not just about a 'one size fits all' mindset. We work with our customers to find solutions that help provide best in class service and solutions.

Variable Storage Solutions

Indoor and outdoor storage solutions give us the opportunity to provide different cost models for different product

Bulk Transport Solutions

Experience and understanding in moving product in bulk. This includes bulk garden mixes via tip trucks, or large loads of pallets and stock via curtain sider trucks to garden centres & DIY stores.

Stock Management Solutions

Assistance in managing raw materials, manufacturing/assembly and finish product stock levels and management.

End to End Visibility

Complete visibility of your products from start to finish. Track by batch number, serial number, expiry date, product/SKU, delivery address and more. All available 24/7 from anywhere in the world.

Getting Your Products into DIY Big Box Retailers

Getting ranged is the first step. Staying on the shelf depends on orders arriving complete, on time and labelled the way the retailer needs.

Hardware and garden retailers run large distribution networks with strict supplier requirements. Late deliveries, missing labels or short-shipped orders can mean rejected loads and unhappy buyers. We handle those requirements for you, every week.

Picked to the purchase order

Each retailer order is picked and packed against its purchase order, with batch details recorded where needed, so what arrives matches what was ordered.

SSCC and GS1 labelling

We apply SSCC labels to each pallet or carton, so distribution centres can scan and receive your delivery against the order first time. If your products arrive without the right barcodes or labels, we can add them.

Booked store and DC deliveries

In Auckland, our own trucks deliver to stores and distribution centres on time for booked delivery windows. Nationwide, we deliver through our transport network.

Retail-ready packaging

Our value added services team can relabel, re-pack, price label and build promotional packs before stock goes out.

We deliver and fulfil into Bunnings and Mitre 10 stores for lawn mower brands, consumable brands, garden brands and more. Read our guide to supplying DIY big box retailers.

Each retailer order is picked and packed against the purchase order, with batch details recorded where needed.

Bulky and Seasonal Products

DIY and garden products are rarely small, light or steady. We are set up for:

  • Bulky and awkward items such as lawn mowers, outdoor power equipment and large cartons.
  • Bagged and bulk garden products, from pallets of bagged mixes to bulk garden mixes moved by tip truck.
  • Seasonal peaks in spring and summer, with space and labour that scale up and back down.
  • Indoor and outdoor storage, giving different cost options for different products.

Who We Work With

We work with brands and suppliers right across the sector:

  • Lawn mower and outdoor power equipment brands
  • Garden, landscaping and potting mix suppliers
  • Hardware, tools and consumable brands
  • Importers and overseas brands supplying NZ hardware retailers, including Australian brands
  • Manufacturers who need raw materials and finished goods managed in one place

Stock arriving by sea? We arrange container devanning and get it retail-ready in the same warehouse.

DIY and Garden Logistics FAQs

Can’t see your question? Call 09 63 444 63 or send us your details.

Do you deliver to DIY big box retailers?

Yes. We pick, label and deliver orders to DIY and hardware stores and their distribution centres every week, on behalf of lawn mower, consumable, garden and hardware brands.

What is an SSCC label and do I need one?

An SSCC (Serial Shipping Container Code) is a unique GS1 barcode on each pallet or carton. Retailer distribution centres scan it to receive your delivery against the purchase order, so most require it. We create and apply SSCC labels for you.

Can you pick orders to a retailer purchase order?

Yes. Every retailer order is picked and packed against its purchase order, with batch details recorded where needed, so deliveries arrive complete and match the order.

Can you handle bulky products like lawn mowers?

Yes. We store and deliver bulky and awkward items, including lawn mowers, outdoor power equipment and large cartons, as well as pallets of bagged garden products.

How do you manage seasonal peaks?

Garden and DIY sales peak in spring and summer. Our storage and labour scale up for the busy season and back down afterwards, and you only pay for what you use.

Where are your warehouses?

We have warehousing in Auckland and Christchurch, deliver across Auckland on our own trucks, and deliver nationwide through our transport network.
