Geek girl. Freelance copywriter and editor at Unmistakable.co.nz.
I'm a geek, a gamer, a dad, a Quic user, and an IT Professional. I have a full rack home lab, size 15 feet, an epic beard and Asperger's. I'm a bit of a Cypherpunk, who believes information wants to be free and the Net interprets censorship as damage and routes around it. If you use my Quic signup you can also use the code R570394EKGIZ8 for free setup.
Lias: I've also fruitlessly looked for such a company. NZ post should really offer Youshop there.

Thanks for the recommendation. Good to know they're out there, though the dummy quote I ran through their estimator was prohibitively expensive.
Sadly that's the best you'll get. Australian shipping overseas is ridiculously priced - as bad as if not worse than NZ overseas shipping. The only exception would be the flat rate flat packs available from Auspost stores for $20 to NZ. Which the forwarders probably wouldn't use (they'd have an account and printed labels).

I'm going back to Broadbeach in September so hopefully they'll still have the items I want in stock at Target. It's crazy that it's cheaper to ship from the UK to here, given the massively greater distance.

I suspect more competition. Shipping between NZ and Oz is crazy expensive. There must be a reason why it i so much. Although some Australian retailers seem to be able to get good deals, as an Oz bookshop charges $7 to ship to NZ which isn't too bad.

Considering Book Depository ship from the UK to NZ for $0 no matter the size of the order, its still not that great.

Book Depository is crazy - I'll order 3 books and get them all in separate parcels, sometimes on the same day! They must have a really good shipping deal going.

Exactly, Although to can cost $6-10 to have the books shipped within NZ, so not bad in comparison . I wonder why NZers pay so much for shipping in NZ, and shipping from NZ to other countries, when the cost should be the same as in the other direction. Who is paying NZ posties to hand deliver a 50 cent item shipped for free from hong kong?
