hello all

I must recomend you look at you post service from nz post



I can have Two you post address that are assigned to you . one the uk one in usa

Warehouse that safely hold your goods i assume owned by nz post .

So know insteed hassle having to email the seller plead with them sometimes to send this far . Most are good

Amaizon wont send big items like rockband strat Guitar know i just go click and can buy anything my heart desires

you still have to play for the weight and around 100.00 nz for most the times i brought down to 17.00 for small stuff.

Its most probley only down side u dont know cost till it arrives at the warehouse , and then u get email message ,as it arrived. proccess dafter payment

clearance through customs here etc . bes t part for me got 21 days to play and u can change a destination adress at any time

In case my wife finds out ;-)


there a guide of the web page on cost of freight on volume and weight and there is weight limit of

The minimum chargeable weight is 500g. The maximum parcel weight is 30kg. The maximum parcel dimensions are: any one side no longer than 1.5m in length with a maximum parcel size of 3m (length plus girth.)

That first post was painful to read.

The YouShop scheme is quite good and I'm currently waiting for the first parcels of contraband that Amazon refuse to send here. Obviously terrorists have a use for Nike shoes and these must not be shipped from 'Murika under any circumstances whatsoever.:facepalm:

The YouShop depot is located in Oregon which, I'm lead to believe, has some tax incentives.

Your first parcel has a fee for sending it onward to UnZud, but any other parcels are charged at a flat rate of $6-.
Just get yourself organised and have several shipped there and combine the onward shipment home. You can store stuff for up to a month (iirc), for multi-shipment.

That's where the companies like 'Youshop' come in.... Quite often the US seller will ship within the states free, once it gets to the youshop warehouse the shipping is reasonable.

I used Youshop recently to get a regulator/rectifier from Oregon Motorcycle Parts. Tony only uses USPS and they charges were something outrageous like $50 (on a $90 item). Youshop cost me $17 all up I think, and it was nice and quick.

Make sure you read the fine-print on insurance. I believe they have a fairly low default cover and you are responsible for insuring anything over that.

Im looking at getting 6 boxes shipped into NZ which will probably weigh 20kg-ish all up. I'm going though youshop after USPS quoted almost 800USD. Fedex was beyond a joke.

If a parcel shows up with no invoice on the box what is the procedure? Do i just declare the value and contents and weather or not I want it unpacked or not?

Totally i got quoted 200.00 ukp and you shop did it for 100.00 ukp i found usa postale service slighty cheaper and quicker as well.

800.00 is stubid money i had set of vfr 750 forks and there heavy and long .. 300.00 nz mate from the uk depends where u get

your parts (which seller ) mine was with motofix in uk and ring them and asked for the best deal they chould get.email is good enough though.

That reminds me got mid section fairing panel still with them opps been really busy of late.

In syaiyng that i found 99% my ebay exp to do postage costs great but know i dont worry about the hassle.

if you got someting large email your seller the get qoute then u can compare to you shop by there online guide.

I found them competive and cheaper in most cases. really small stuff dont sweet it if sller ships to you.

I got sony action cam sent from private indvidual great cheap as chips.

Nope. Let's get this right.
The $6.00 is a discount on your next parcel, not a flat rate at all.....So before you pay a discount is applied to the next parcel and so on for multiple shipping of items...
