Shipping Cricket Kit
 
Hey everyone,

Has anyone shipped out sports kit or more to the point cricket kit?

Any good experiances, who to use, how much it cost etc?

Or, anyone with bad experiances who think pick up new kit in NZ?

Thanks

Tails

Have you approached a local NZ club, email them, I'm sure they will advise?

would of thought best to bring- but make sure REALLY clean.

Did our shipping with PSS including Cricket Kit, Golf Clubs, Rugby Boots and two Bicycles.

All were in good nick when they arrived.

Cricket kit included - pads, two pairs of gloves, a helmet, three bats, a box, thigh guard and few other accessories as well as branded Cricket bag.

I didn't bring spikes over, they needed replacing and they play a lot of Cricket on artificial wickets in Auckland anyhow, so blessing in disguise.

Mind you, that'll depend if you good enough for the top levels of local Cricket, which I'm not.

As for picking up new kit in NZ you'll pay a premium from a shop here. If you're willing to bide your time on Trade Me to pick up bargains then that is an options, but my recommendation is that you stock up before you head here.

Thats great , cheers guys!

I thought the kit may be expensive over there so, im getting my stuff together to bring over.

I will give PSS a shout and see how much they charge....

I think its fair to say i will be on the artifical wickets these days and will be more of a social player (middle oder hacker) than anything!

Cheers Chaps
