Default Small scale shipping question

Hi folks,
We are planning to turn up with backpacks after a couple of months in SE Asea on the way. We need to send interview clothes and a few other bits & pieces - probably around 20-40 kilos depending on price.

Does anyone know about the best / cheapest / most reliable way to send packages? Any advice on when it should be sent to arrive in NZ in November this year? Any comments welcome.

Hi
We sent a 40ft container and then 4 boxes seperately to nz with Britannia. I can't remember the cost but it wasn't too expensive, it does take about 8 - 10 weeks though because of MAF checking everything coming into Auckland this end. If u allow for this then everything will be fine. Hope this helps.

Many thanks for the advice. I'll include Britannia in the quotes and follow your advice re sending 10 weeks earlier. This should work out pretty well because we can send the parcel just before leaving ourselves.
