    Best way to post a towbar to NZ?

    I'm looking for the best (cheapest) way to get a towbar from Vern in Mirboo North to me in the south island of NZ.

    I'm using 75x40x12cm (best guess) for size (0.036 m^3) and guessing 20kg for weight.
    Auspost is about $AU210
    Packsend.com.au is about $AU180.

    Who else should I try?

    Interparcel are usually pretty good for international parcels.
    The best price using those dimensions and weight is $109.32. I used postcode 8083 Christchurch for the purpose of the quote, it might be different depending where you are.

    Pack and Send have always been more expensive when I've had quotes. I've used Interparcel to send dual rear carriers to Dubai, Hong Kong, USA etc

    Thanks Murray, that's a fantastic price. I'll hit them up when I get final weights and dimensions.

    Yes it's a square receiver type for an RRC. Mine are currently the "plow" type.
