    I used executive excess shipping services and I sent 28 kg by sir freight. It was about €350 and the service was great.

    If you ship it it will cost less but take 2/3 months. Our box took 2 weeks to get to NZ.

    You'll need an address to send the package to in Aus. We collected ours at the airport but we still had to have a New Zealand address to put on the package for custom reasons. The shipping guy said we couldn't just send a package to the aiport in case it was full of drugs or something!

    hi watna! 350 is kinda good actually, seens how it was express, but i think ill wait the few months and hopefully it will be less,

    i think it might be best to get a quote off a company then?

    Yep, get a quote. They guy is really good. They provide you with a box and packing material (drop it off to your house) and then collect the box from you directly too. There's a few other companies around but as far as I remember these were quite cheap. Also, two boardies recommended them which I think is always good.

    I think it was a certain price for 20 kg and then more per kg after that. I'm really glad we sent stuff. If I could go back in time I'd send more! We didn't bring some electronic things that we should have (ps2 etc)
