Berleyguts Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 (edited) What weight? Economy Air via Australia Post to NZ for 2kg, would cost $31.60 but standard Air is faster and only about $4 more. You can calculate different options on the Australia Post website.

frankS Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 Why not buy from a New Zealand shop near your friends and have them post local. Frank 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank i have enough new tackle to open up my own stall at the markets , also buying from a New Zealand shop will cost much more then buying things on clearance, or online in Australia , doing what your saying in my case will cost me more .

I have different experience. Clearing excessive tackle stock at home is obviously a good reason. However I find online NZ tackle shops offers (particulalry for demanding applications such as LBG or heavy jigging or game fishing) much better - wider stock range and better prices. Some online NZ shops have websites/ pricing separately for local NZ and AU customers with price difference much more than just FX exchange or shipping cost rates. Even Shimano, Daiwa etc local NZ web sites had ( not sure if now as I just stopped checking them) wider choice than Aussie ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
