What are the costs for shipping to New Zealand?
The final price you pay for shipping to New Zealand will depend on a number of factors, like your end destination, your time-frame and load size. If you only have a small load, you could share a shipping container and only pay for the part that you use. Those with bigger loads can choose between 20ft and 40ft containers. Whatever options you choose, you will be given a detailed quote before agreeing to anything.

What can I ship to New Zealand?
We can ship virtually anything to New Zealand as long as it is legal to do so. Items we commonly take over include home and office furniture, appliances, clothes, vehicles, sports equipment and musical instruments.
Which New Zealand shipping methods are available?
You can choose between air freight, sea freight or a mix of both. As many customers have priority items they need to access quickly, some send these over via the air, opting to get the rest to New Zealand through the sea. The reason few people send everything over via air freight is that is very expensive to do so, with prices being calculated by weight. You could make a reduction on air freight costs by picking your goods up from the airport yourself.
