AVID Gallery Objects and Jewellery

Within New Zealand

AVID Gallery uses NZ Post and Courier Post for sending smaller items within New Zealand.

For small items that fit in a DLE courier envelope the charge is approximately NZ$5, or NZ$10 if going to a rural address.  Additional charges will apply for insurance of items over $1500 value.

For packages under 25kg the price ranges from NZ$30 to NZ$100, depending on size and destination (North Island to South Island charges are dearer than within island). Additional charges will apply for insurance of items over $1500

Packages over 25kg are sent via Mainfreight, Pack'n'send or other local freight company, and are priced by weight and size. Quotes can be provided on request.

International Freight - Indicative Costs

Freight costs vary depending on your location and the size and weight of the item.  We can give exact costs once we know the size and weight of the package, the destination address, and the speed of service you require.

Small parcels such as jewellery items are sent via International Economy Courier, a tracked secure service, which takes less than one working week to most destinations.  The base cost to Australia is around NZ$35.

To give you some idea of the freight costs, we have listed below some actual freight charges (including packaging and insurance) for various works we have sent to specific locations.  These are guidelines only.
