Thread: Freight Forwarding from US (and save a few $$).

May be of some use?
Have a look at Bongo

https://bongous.com/

No monthly fees, etc.
One supplier I looked at reckoned 82% saving on International shipping if using Bongo instead of just having items shipped directly to home in NZ.

I had a play and it was a bit cheaper. I could save about US$12 on a shipment.

You're right there muzza.
One US company has a fixed rate of US$48 (this is for a light parcel containing a few artists brushes I wanted).
The brushes were way cheaper than NZ prices but 'oh boy' the shipping made up the difference!

Nz post has a system set up too. You get your stuff sent to an address in Oregon and it then gets forwarded to you. I signed up the other day and have a DVD coming as a test run. If it works ok I'll report back.

All done through the same provider - Gateway Express
Support out of Singapore sucks balls

USPS is far cheaper for 99% of stuff esp flatrate boxes

I've been using You shop overseas, we ship2u with good results.

Thanks ishoot10s.
I'm just looking for the best deal to bring in some artist brushes (for me).
Probably only 6 to 10 brushes, so not a heavy or large parcel.
I'll try the other sites mentioned to see what the best deal is.
Regards,
Kelvin.

$14 flatrate USPS box, get a friend in the US to ship them.

DVD arrived today at a cost of 17 nzd. Took about a week. Litzs outfit wanted about 40 USD to send it down.

How about shipping Boyds stuff ? im wanting a couple of gunstocks and no reshipping agents seem to want to deal with them.
Thinking of going with ordering via a Canadian reshippig company as you can order up to $500 worth of gunstocks from Canada and they also ship to nz.
