I have a friend in South America (Brazil, specifically) who I would like to send some Kiwi treats to. He is a Kiwi but has resided there for a few years and misses Whittakers as well as some other Kiwi food.

 

I realise I could package it and post it myself, but I'm trying to find people's experiences of places that pick and pack and send, and you just pay them to do it as I don't have a lot of free time.

 

https://web.archive.org/web/20201124154820/kiwigrubbox.com/ >> this place used to be quite good with a decent range and free delivery! but they've been offline for a few months now (hence why the Internet Archive link)

 

https://www.shopnz.com/collections/nz-gift-baskets-and-boxes >> this one is okay but the range is pretty tiny compared to Kiwi Grub Box

 

Anyone able to suggest something like this, preferably with cheap (or free) and tracked delivery?

I don't have any experience with those places, but in terms of DIY vs.getting a food place to send it for you, definitely outsource it, that way all of the hassles and headaches are being taken care of by someone else. In particular if it gets lost or tied up in customs or who knows what else, someone else will deal with it.

Opinions - this one looks okay eh? The flat rate shipping is quite reasonable too.
