What is the best way to send my belongings from the USA to New Zealand?

Question

I will be moving to New Zealand, but only plan to take clothing, a few books, CDs, and a couple of pottery pieces. I'm not leaving until Dec. and would like to start sending a few boxes prior to my departure.

Answer 1

There is 1 great methods for you to ship your belongings.  One is through the post office which is much shipper  than the UPS service.

Answer 2

There are a few options available to you. I would look into an international moving company. They often ship things in crates & containers  etc & depending on the amount of things you want to take they can advise you on the best options & prices. Another option would be to contact the airline & ask about sending it on ahead as freight but you do need someone at the other end to collect it for you if your not travelling at the same time. I think that the websites have this listed as cargo but should be of help to you.  Personally Id do some searching through google to see what you come up with. I too shall be doing this in the next couple of years  (NZ is my home so I cant wait to get back there) & have already decided on the moving company option but only because I want to take some of my furniture & bigger personal belongings with us. We are simply getting too old to start over again. We are also going to be taking our dog with us & thats the one thing that I dont have a lot of success in researching. Good luck with your move. Hope it all works out well for you.

Call a shipping company to see whether they can send your supplies to your new address. You might have to purchase a barrel, fill it up, and off it goes. Good luck.
