Thread: Anyone able to recommend a good shipping agent in NZ?

Unfortunately you are going to find that the Tasman Sea is the most expensive bit of water in the world for shipping charges by a long way. The shipping agent can be anywhere as you most probably won't meet as everything is done on the internet.

The problem you are going to have is the packing and palletisation/crating in NZ, if you can have that taken care of there are a couple of agents I would recommend, I've been in the industry for a long time now.

Also, shipping to and from NZ isn't that bad, I mostly deal with PNG, comparatively NZ is cheap.

I have the invoices to prove how expensive it is. I could get stuff from the US cheaper than to NZ when I was involved in retail selling and buying. New Guinea might be more expensive but NZ is not cheap.

Just looked it up, my current freight tariff for Tauranga with my preferred agent is AUD$150 per m3, seems pretty reasonable to me honestly.

Obviously that's not retail pricing but I wouldn't expect to be paying retail pricing to be more than more than $250 to $300 per m3 which is quite reasonable.

I think Conroys would be OK. They've been in the business a long time.
