Does anyone know a good, cheap shipper of goods from NZ to UK?

I am Googling through the people who advertise shipping student gear and household contents but have't found anyone cheaper than the Post Office to ship a 3.5Kg package.

The package is a windbreak from Katmandu - a nice one which is not available in the UK and is at half price in the sales.

It would cost about $75 to buy and another $75 to ship and we don't really want to pay $150 for it to have it in the UK.

Waiting on some replies, but I am getting the feeling that these shippers expect to shift a lot more than 3.5Kg and their minimum charge may be too high.

Meanwhile, and advice welcome.

Cheers

I'd be very surprised if the NZ post office isn't the cheapest way of shipping anything out of NZ.
