| 1436824 | 2017-07-02 11:18:00 | Any idea on how much it would cost to ship a desktop, Auckland to Dunedin? Which company would you guys recommend? | Cato (6936) | ||
| 1436825 | 2017-07-02 21:32:00 | Assuming you are talking about a PC & not the top off a desk. Measure the area it would take up if packed into a box. Weigh it & put the info into www.nzpost.co.nz |

They are a division of mainfreight. It gets delivered at the other end by Post Haste. But the difference in price between Post Haste and Castle Parcels is a lot. |

Would you be brave enough to ship a monitor? |

| 1436832 | 2017-07-03 23:34:00 | Do it at your own risks! Friend of mine received a PC (in its original packaging box) sent to him from Australia by his brother, when he opened it, everything seems to be fallen apart! The mid-tower casing was dented quite badly, the CPU heatsink came off, even the SSD was not in it's housing bay! Having said that, I once received a monitor sent from Christchurch (after warranty repair) was in pretty good condition! Maybe I was lucky! |
