How Much Would It Cost to Ship 25,000

[The Less Blob]

comics to New Zealand and do you think a comic store there is viable?

 

Auckland home prices are more than I thought they would be.

Would guess it starts at a few grand for a box in a container on a slow ship pulling that completely out of my butt.

Cheapest way is to ship via a container, especially if you are moving other items as well. My friend just moved from Australia to Canada and she packed all her stuff up in a container. It took a couple of months to arrive though if I recall.

Just googled it and wow, I'm quite surprised as well.

I just asked her, for her the cost was $8,500 Canadian to ship the container, and about another $2K for insurance. That included all the packing and unpacking at her two locations.

 

Cost was based upon cubic volume of the container and not the weight.

Is the listings in us dollars?

OOPS! I forgot to convert to NZ$!!! OK, that makes it a bit better.

 

Nice gig down there is you are an internist here with some experience. Looks like you could make about $150K or more, which is as much or more than many make in the states and I'm guessing you have to deal with a lot more B.S. in the states.

My two cousins lived in New Zealand for a bit. They are Physical Therapists and got work with Peter Jackson. They loved living there and had all sorts of vacation time. They traveled to Australia, Micronesia, Chile, Nepal and Thailand among other places.

They were not able to get permanent work status, however.
