In Reply to: Container shipping to NZ... unsure? posted by kopu_kopu on Thursday, 15. March 2007 at 18:57 Bali Time:
Ask your cargo company in to give you the cubic metre price and also the price to ship the 20foot container. As you are making your puchases take a mental note of how many cubic you have. Then times it by the cubic metre rate and compare that with the price of the full container. Also bear in mind the price of getting the container released, all the costs involved in customs and it delivered here in NZ versus the price of the cubic metres being delivered etc. This can sometime make the difference. Also you need to have a MAF approved area for devanning the container, this is something you will have to discuss with your customs broker here in NZ.
Hope this helps in someway
