Thread: Reshipping from UK

Not much help to you, but I joined YouShop - NZ Post's forwarding service from UK (& USA). If memory serves correct it's $22 NZD for the smallest parcel, a d the cost goes up by weight or volume (whichever is the greater).
The highest charge was an old cast iron 3 phase contactor sent over about a year ago - about $60 NZD.

Cheers, Vann.

You think it is bad now just wait to 29/3/19 aside from that I have always used Royal mail or TNT, the last package the company used Fedex as they said TNT have raised their prices

curious that comment about TNT.
TNT was bought out by FedEx back in 2016

What experiences do others have with forwarding from UK? Whose services do you use?

Curious to know if re-shipping fro the UK is actually worth it.

What happens with UK VAT when you use a reshipper?
Do you pay the 20% VAT twice -- once to the retailer and then again to the re-shipper as part of their domestic to UK activity?

My understanding is that if the retailer does the export no VAT is collected. From personal experience, I know that shipping directly from the retailer avoids VAT in Germany, Switzerland and Italy.

Not having kept abreast of the importation/GST changes, what is the implication of the 29/3/2019?
