What are your shipping costs?

We have a flat charge per order for all shipping throughout New Zealand, $7.00 to all standard physical addresses or $9.50 to rural or RD addresses.  We do not ship to PO Boxes.

Orders to international addresses are shipped via NZ Post Air service at the current rate plus a small handling/packing charge. The international freight charge of NZ$25 for Australia, Singapore & Pacific Islands or NZ$30 for Europe, UK, United States of America (US), Canada & Asia charged at the Checkout often covers this cost.  Should an international order incur additonal freight costs you will be advised prior to dispatch and a request for an additional payment made.
