I need to courier something worth about NZ$4K from Wellington to Christchurch for repair - it's not large or heavy. NZPost / Aramex both limit their insurance to $2K for retail customers, though they do have higher limits for commercial customers. Does anyone know a courier company that will make it easy to courier this with appropriate insurance?

 

I'm also going to ask the repair firm if they could arrange collection using their courier, but I suspect the answer will be "no that's too much hassle for us".

Interesting idea thanks Goosey. I didn't speak to anyone at NZPost, I just read their website that said the insurance limit is $2K. It shouldn't take "special services" to get extra insurance. That will probably cost a fortune.

 

I wonder if my contents insurance that cover the goods for anywhere in NZ will cover them in transit... I'll ask the insurer tomorrow.

I’d just recommend you call Fliway or DHL and see what they say.
