Fastway want $62
Courierpost want $82
NZ Post $52.80..... Its the volume which sends rate up not the weight.

I've found taking items into a friendly nzpost shop and asking for a quote normally helps get a more accurate price

yeah, take it into a postshop and get them to quote...... my sideskirts cost $90 to send to china, so I think they may be quoting premium prices

Courierpost, nz couriers and fastway look upon big stuff as "dirty freight".
They make more money filling their vans up with satchels and small parcels.

I use a2 logistics for my over size stuff.
