I have written about this topic before:

I am always on the look-out for reliable and cheap services to ship goods from the United States to New Zealand.

Unfortunately my favourite service (Opas) was sold to another freight forwarding company in the US, who are by far the most expensive.

I tend to avoid NZ Post YouShop for the reasons listed previously. They are expensive and do not accept li-ion batteries. At the moment they are running an app refresh promotion which gives another 20% off their listed quotes for freight (still not great).

This discount can be secured using the new App, and entering the discount code below:

NEWYOUSHOP20

I have moved towards utilising referral bonus discount codes to get the best price of freight forwarding services from the United States as an alternative to YouShop.

These include Stacktry.com, if you use my referral link you get $10USD off your first shipment:
https://www.stackry.com/register?referral=7752646

Stacktry have reasonable economy rates for items from the US. The 10USD off is a sweetner.

There is also MyUs.com, who offer 20% off your first shipment if you use the following referral link:
https://www.myus.com/signup/?aid=1004636&ReferId=FhLBaayAWT4=&utm_source=RAF&utm_medium=MyAccount

So between those links hopefully you can score a discount if you need items shipped from the United States to New Zealand.
