Gerry,

 

I have found in the past it is only when the value is over $500 that  I have paid gst

However generally the lesser values have attracted no attention at all . In the past I have had around 20-25 orders from the states and have only paid twice .Some even write on the declarations a much lower price which is really helpful.

Be sure to enjoy the latest President’s Pick “Birdsong” by Sebastian Faulks. This is an intensely romantic yet stunningly realistic novel spans three generations and the unimaginable gulf between the First World War and the present. "Birdsong is a novel of extraordinary depth… This is the kind of writing that will be admired for generations. I recommended Birdsong to you without reservation."—Terry Finley, President, Bamm.com

Dear Sir/ Madam,

 

1. If I bought a book for say $ US 50  what would be the additional freight cost delivered to any place in New Zealand ?

 

What would be the average delivery time to that country?

 

2. If the weight were 1 kg and the same price........ ? 

 

Regards,
