Shipping to Australia is INSANELY expensive and I imagine New Zealand is the same. One of my side activities is designing and prototyping motorcycle parts, which eventually get built by others. Shipping a motorcycle engine sump guard to Australia was $450 USD. They guy insisted he wanted one of my prototype units which I valued at about $200. It shipped in a box that was 12x18x10 and weighed about five pounds all up. I quoted DHL, UPS, FedEx and USPS. USPS was the cheapest by a long ways at that $450 price .

Second craziest shipping costs are to Canada. Also shipping a couple of very small motorcycle parts recently (windshield spacers made of UHMW) it was about $15 USD to Belgium and the UK and over $50 to the middle of Canada. The quickest to arrive was Belgium. The last arrived weeks later in the UK.

A spar crate to NZ? Has to be eye watering.
