Sending a few things to the UK
Hi,
Does anyone know of a good company in New Zealand which isn't really expensive for sending a few items to the UK.
Items are computer and monitor and a couple of other things.
Thanks
Carole

True....the money you would spend on shipping might be better spent on new equipment....

I just looked at that site Seven seas and it quoted me over 500 dollars US to ship 4 suitcases I think that is more than excess on a plane........4 t chests were also over $500.

I know the more you send the cheaper it is but when my son did his it wasnt that expensive its obviously gone up a lot in price.....Such a shame as it was such a stress free service having them turn up at the door with the boxes and collecting them as soon as i said they were ready to go.....Then delivering them to the door in NZ....

Not sure if this will be of any help ......we shipped 9 boxes over to NZ ( 1 cubic mtr) with a local UK shipping agent, on arrival in NZ our shipment was handled by World Moving & Storage (worldmoving.co.nz) .....they were brilliant & really helpful...especially considering we wanted to turn our shipment around and ship it straight back to UK I can't remember the exact cost involved but it was def more than $500 equiv.

We are only allowed 23kgs on most flights, the 2 bag system is only to USA, Canada and South America.
Of course if you are lucky enough to get a BA ticket you can do the bag thing as per Charleygirl above.

Aw brilliant, 'ship it straight back again".
And are you happy you did?

Thanks for the advice. I will check it out but it does seem to expensive. We bought our son a gaming computer for christmas last year and so he wanted to keep it, but its a lot of money to spend shipping it back.

What about seafreight? Though I do believe there is a minimum charge so maybe not so good if you only have 3 boxes or something.......
