| 436870 | 2006-03-09 03:11:00 | I have been using trade me recently and for everything I have been sending it through NZ Postal service. It has been good but now I would like to send a larger package (A VCR). Is there a service that will help me with buying the things to package it in and that will be the cheapest to send it. I have looked at New Zealand Couriers. Are they good. How do they work I checked on their site and it said I needed an account? Could someone explain everything to me if possible. |

| 436871 | 2006-03-09 03:50:00 | Try the likes of DHL and their competitors. | Greg (193) | ||
| 436872 | 2006-03-09 04:04:00 | Ok ill test them out. | kiwimate27 (9833) | ||

| 436874 | 2006-03-09 05:04:00 | NZPost may be as good as any other, but having to pay $52.13 to send a parcel down to Balclutha (Courier, T&T and sig reqd.) is a little steep. I'm glad its a one off thing. |

| 436875 | 2006-03-09 08:32:00 | Courier Post is about $12 incl gst to send a parcel the size and weight of a packed VCR (up to 5kg) from Auckland to Wellington. I wouldn't touch DHL or any of the more commercial operators, too costly and too slow. Cheers Billy 8-{) |

Is that courier post part of the NZ postal store or is it a seperate enitity? |

| 436877 | 2006-03-09 10:13:00 | Yes, New Zealand Post owns Courier Post - not to be confused with New Zealand Couriers, which is a different company. You'll find it's website via Google, plus other competing firms, if you enter *courier post.* P.S. I once used Fastways Couriers to bring a heavy computer & monitor from Rotorua to Dunedin. That cost $40, but they might be worth a quote for lighter packages? |

| 436879 | 2006-03-10 00:53:00 | And of course, Courier Post (www.courierpost.co.nz) are a partnership of NZ Post and DHL. :D | Graham L (2) | ||
