CourierPost are the best..... but the most expensive, but you can go to any local post shop tho and sort most of it out there. You can do an overnight service (Starts at like $20 for the first 5kg) or a three day service (two nights) which is roughly $9 for the first 5kgs....

If you give me a weight I can give you a rough cost :)

You could also go with...(in order of goodness) NZ Couriers, Post Haste, Peter Baker Transport, Now Couriers and any other two bit outfit :lol:

Yeah had a quick search, tried ringing round a couple places, some paces wanted upwards of like $120!!!
I'm not to sure whether or not a carb would fall under 5kg's though....
Just needed an opinion, sending some stuff through tardme and wanted to know of a cheap reliable company to use.

Definately the cheapest option,

Send it via Parcel Post, just make sure you have it packaged well. It should take 2-3 working days to get across island, and will cost you apprx $10.95 for the first 5kg, then $9 for each 5kg over that. (up to 25kg).

Just box it up, make sure it's well sealed (good industrial tape etc.) and then take it into the post shop and they will weigh it/send it.

Details can be found here:

(You are also covered up to $250 on insurance for the product, and can ask for extra services at a cost like 'sign on delivery', not sure about tracking tho.. will find out on friday when im next at work)
