Hi.

My Son has an interested in selling lego in pieces via bricklink.

Most of his orders might be for 5-10 pieces of lego, so a small padded envelope should cover the requirement.

We are not keen to drop stuff off to the post office so want door to door service. I found economy NZ Post service for $4.80 does anyone know of something cheaper that includes the cost of the bag?

Volume won't be massive.

TIA

I mean, TradeMe Book A Courier service lets you book Aramex DLE for $4.49 (Urban)... but you don't want to use Aramex and also doesn't include a bag so not that helpful..

TBH, I think you're not going to get it any cheaper (without extra hassle). $4.80 for bag and postage is pretty good for casual shipping. That and NZ Post is probably the best (low cost) courier in NZ (with little after sales hassle). They sometimes even deliver econ parcels overnight.

Yeah, that's probably a fair call. Thanks.
