Who do you use for shipping to the US?

[kulgan 1042]

I have to send some packages to the US but I'm looking at about $750 for shipping if I go through nzpost. I've looked at UPS or Fedex but they are about the same or more.

 

Has anybody found a cheaper option for shipping?

Mainfreight or similar? But depends on volume, weight and air or sea? What do you need?

I've got a couple of boxes that are roughly 70cm x 70cm x 60cm and about 28 kg. I'll be needing to get them to Kansas. Just trying to find a cheaper option to get them there at present.

Sea freighting that should cost less than $150 I'd think... my suspension at ~27kg, similar volume was quoted less than $80 for LA -> Auckland.

Give Mainfreight a call (I'm not recommending them specifically but I'm not sure who all the others are).

Thanks, I'll give them a call on Monday.

It's looking more and more like regular post is going to still be the cheapest option.

So far everything else I've looked at will be over $1200.
