Takin stuff to NZ
Hi has anyone taken just approx 10 boxes of personal stuff and approx 10 cases of clothes and shoes? If so how much did this cost?

Yes I'm sure they have but it's difficult to give you any idea on cost since you don't give any details likely cubic meterage or weight. If you know this you'll be able to find out approximate costs online.
I'd recommend you don't take anything other than your max weight allowances on the flights as pre-purchasing extra baggage is expensive and turning up overweight and paying the overweight charges are extortionate.
For all the other stuff you can go the shared container route where you just pay for your portion of the container. There may be 1, 2, 3, 4 etc other parties all have stuff in that container. It's the cheapest way to do it but places your stuff at maximum risk and the shipping can take the longest time due to the potential of many drop off's along the way? Bear in mind your's will be the last drop off being NZ is the furthest away unless everything in the container is coming to NZ.
