Sail Barge Shipping Estimates

Post by MattG »

I did some quick calculations based on the dimensions that Hasbro has shared, to see what it might cost to ship one of the HasbroLab Khetanna Sail Barges to NZ.

I compared MyUS, which we've been using for many years ( http://www.MyUS.com ) with NZPost's YouShop ( https://www.nzpost.co.nz/tools/youshop )

Based on calculators I can access on both sites, MyUS estimates shipping at US$81.92 (NZ$113.10) while YouShop comes in at NZ$256.50.

Calculator links:
MyUS (who charge based on weight only) - https://www.myus.com/pricing/
YouShop (who charge based on volumetric weight, plus additional other fees) - https://www.nzpost.co.nz/tools/youshop/youshop-pricing

If anyone wants to sign up for a MyUS account, which incurs a monthly fee but gives a 20% reduction on all shipments ($7/month after 30-day free trial ...good if you bring in regular shipments), feel free to sign up via our affiliate link:)

Expected duty (from https://www.customs.govt.nz/personal/du ... estimator/ )

Value of item = US$500 = NZ$688.72

Duty inclusive of MyUS shipping (NZ$113.10) = $209.11
Duty inclusive of YouShop shipping (NZ$256.50) = $230.63

So, grand totals, in NZ$:

Using MyUS shipping = $1010.93
Using YouShop shipping = $1175.85

God damn Hasbro they don't think about the rest of the world i tried to point out that most of the non US collectors wont buy this because of the shipping issues.

AFAIK, the most recent official update (just before Xmas) said "Check back for the next update in early 2019, right before the barge ships."
