What are the cheapest/best options.

 

Need to return some items we thought were coming from OZ. Turns out they came from China.

 

Approx 1.8Kg and currently NZ post are quoting just over $50

I found this company on Google, about $20 but I have no idea if they're legit.

Hmm. Doesn't look like someone I'd use.

Just for comparison's sake I recently this parcel to the US (about the same distance I guess?)

 

Weight: 2.4 kg

 

Dimensions: 24 cm × 24 cm × 24 cm

 

 

 

Cost waz $94 via NZPost - cheapest option.

$50 is great, although I would recommend you select NZ Post's "International Courier" option if the retailer requires tracking for the return.

Did you look at options on NZ post website. They have additional options that are not in store.

Absolutely get tracking. Nothing I’ve ever returned to china without tracking ever arrived.

International Economy Tracked will track the parcel with no signature for $55

 

International Courier adds signature at $79 for the same parcel
