These guys do pickup and delivery, so a 6 pack was $12...<br />

Rhys I had some missed deliveries…tag:www.forum.realbeer.co.nz,2014-10-19:1500433:Comment:2116352014-10-19T21:34:10.523ZCain Harlandhttp://www.forum.realbeer.co.nz/profile/CainHarland
<p>I had some missed deliveries to pick up so had to go to a couple of places any way so did a price comparison and will post the prices I got here incise its useful to others. I was amazed at how much some companies wanted to courier a 6 pack, when I order a lot of stuff online and get bigger heaver boxes delivered for much less all the time. Its not that its a lot of money it just feels like a rip off when the same courier company charges you a vastly different price depending on if you pay…</p>

<ul>
<li>NZ post $18 - no insurance + long spiel about proper wrapping and how there was no insurance</li>
<li>NZ couriers $19 - no mention of insurance</li>
<li>Post haste - $13.50 in a prepaid bag (which adds a little extra protection to the package) with insurance + good friendly service</li>
</ul>
<p>For a comparison to show how business customers (who require a pick up) get a good deal and walk ins (who drop their package at the depot) get the shaft here are brewshops shipping prices which I'm guessing are a fair reflection of what they pay the courier company.</p>
<table class="simple">
<tbody><tr><td>up to 1kg</td>
<td>$3</td>
</tr>
<tr><td>1kg - 2kg</td>
<td>$6 (I'm guessing the 6 pack is here)</td>
</tr>
<tr><td>2kg - 10kg</td>
<td>$10</td>
</tr>
<tr><td>10kg - 15kg</td>
<td>$15</td>
</tr>
<tr><td>15kg +</td>
<td>$18</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>

<p>Any way rant over. $13.50 from post haste was the best I did (from 3 tries) for a 6 pack Napier to Hamilton. If someone found a cheaper courier they could post here for others.</p>

<p></p> All packaged up ready to go.…tag:www.forum.realbeer.co.nz,2014-10-19:1500433:Comment:2118672014-10-19T01:48:07.060ZDavehttp://www.forum.realbeer.co.nz/profile/DaveA
All packaged up ready to go. Not sure how I'll go, I matched beer already brewed to categories rather than brewing to a category from the start.<br />
Still, my first ever time so can only get better!<br />
<br />
Good luck everyone.
