International Economy

When speed is not as important.

  • Saving money.
    International Economy parcels offer a 15% cost saving off the standard International Air price.

  • Only pay for what you send.
    Parcels are charged using continuous weight pricing. This means you will pay for the actual weight of your items in 10g increments. The minimum charge for International Economy parcels is 100g.

  • Range of sizes.
    To make your postage more cost effective, there are three letter size options for your international mail, up to a maximum weight of 200g.

  • Peace of mind.
    International Economy includes compensation cover for loss or damage up to NZ$250. Items valued over NZ$250 but less than NZ$1,500 are classified as high risk but can be sent if additional compensation cover is purchased.
