Do you mean smallish type parcels or a container load? From a retailer or private residence?
If it's a large amount of stuff, we moved recently from the UK home to NZ and used a company called Anglo Pacific that I would highly recommend. We also had to send an individual box home and used the Excess Baggage Company for that. HTH P :) |

Probably smaller type parcels, its for private residence. just cause i have seen some fablous things at IKEA..(sooo love that store, wish they would hurry up an build one here...), like a rocking horse maybe some smaller furniture and cloths. planning on filling suitcases to the brink!!

I recalled this article a short while ago.....this Auckland company will bring in stuff for you from Ikea in Australia for a fee, which would I suspect be cheaper than shipping from Europe.

Alternatively you could contact a freight forwarder and have them ship the items in a container with other peoples parcels (called an LCL [less then container load] shipment, probably take 6wks plus travel time) or airfreight but that will be very expensive. Some freight forwarders I have dealt with are Oceanbridge, Kuehne and Nagel, Hemisphere Freight, JF Hillebrand. Sorry can't think of any more ------------- Lindsey
