Just revisiting this thread...

Does anyone have a useful link to a guide of the different types of shipments you could make to NZ? Keep hearing of 'containers', but I have no idea how much you can actually fit in those. We are probably just looking at selected items like small appliances rather than large pieces of furniture.

Thanks

this explains a bit.... http://britishexpats.com/forum/overs...movals-783380/

A 20ft container fits roughly 1050 cubic feet of furniture, roughly the size of a single garage. If you don't need that much then the groupage service means you only pay for the space you need.

There's lots of other useful threads on our sub forum which might be useful if you're just getting started with shipping.... Overseas Removals, Shipping & Storage Advice and Information from Bournes International Moves - British Expats

Hope that helps!
