And has anyone used Parcel monkey or MyUs ?
Most of these shipping services seem to have some really bad reviews.
I’ve used Youshop in the past, five years ago an almost identical item cost $55 to ship, today’s estimate is $198.
In Parcel monkeys shipping options one of them is via New Zealand Post costing US$59

I use MyUS, no issues apart from the fact they are Florida based so buying things in cali goto fl then go back to cali

Most problems are the result of previous solutions...

All comment's I make are my own personal opinion and do not in any way, shape or form reflect the views of current or former employers unless specifically stated

Given the lack of big sliver budgies flying between the US and NZ that level of price rise dies not surprise me.

Whoever you use, make sure they dont use USPS as they are no longer sending mail to NZ ( due to the lack of big silver budgies flying our way )

Have a look at the big players like DHL / UPS / FEDEX as they have their own planes and will possibly be faster.

I use MyUS which has been the cheapest so far, and a pretty decent service in terms of keeping you updated on progress. Haven't used it since USPS stopped delivering to NZ so I don't know what their prices are like now.

The prices seem fairly reasonable ,more some of the negative reviews that were a concern.
Pretty much all of the companies had similar complaints made against them. When something went wrong poor, or non existent communication, indifference etc.
