FAQ · Canterbury
Common questions, plain answers.
- Does Lazi work in Canterbury?
- Yes — Covers Christchurch as the hub, plus Ashburton, Timaru, Rangiora, Selwyn and the wider Canterbury catchment. Lazi is NZ-wide; the network's density grows with each new operator who joins, and Christchurch is part of that map.
- What corridors does Christchurch actually run?
- Common runs from Christchurch: Greymouth (~170 km), Nelson (~260 km), Wellington (~310 km). Lazi matches on equipment + route + timing, so the corridors that fire for your truck depend on what gear it carries and where it's heading next.
- How long until I get paid as a Christchurch carrier?
- Payouts land in your NZ bank account 48 hours after both parties confirm delivery. Same flow whether you're running out of Auckland or Invercargill — Stripe Connect handles the transfer, no invoicing.
