NZ TO UK FORWARDING
Parcel Forwarding from New Zealand to the UK
Shop from eligible New Zealand retailers, use your Jetkrate NZ forwarding address, then review onward shipping to the UK once the parcel is received.
Want to buy from New Zealand stores and send the order to the UK? Jetkrate helps when a retailer ships locally inside New Zealand but does not offer a practical delivery option to your country. The simple version is this: you shop with your Jetkrate New Zealand forwarding address, the retailer delivers to the New Zealand warehouse, and once the parcel is received you choose the onward international shipping option that makes sense. That does not mean every order is worth forwarding. It works best when the product is hard to find locally, the retailer's direct international option is limited, or you are buying enough value to justify the total landed cost.

ROUTE CHECKS
What to check before forwarding to the UK
Forwarding works best when the product is eligible, the destination details are accurate, and the total landed cost still makes sense after freight and possible destination charges.
Address accuracy
Postcode, flat, building, company and phone details should be accurate before dispatch.
Restricted products
Food, supplements, cosmetics, batteries and restricted goods need careful checking.

The forwarding workflow
The retailer sends locally to Jetkrate first. After warehouse check-in, you decide how an eligible parcel moves onward.
PRODUCT FIT
Choose parcels that justify the forwarding step
New Zealand forwarding is strongest when there is a clear reason to buy from NZ and the parcel is compact, eligible and sensible to ship internationally.
Usually stronger fits
- Eligible fashion, footwear, gifts, beauty, books and hobby products
- New Zealand-made goods, merino and specialist local brands
- Compact purchases with enough value to justify freight
- Products with low return risk and clear import category
Usually weaker fits
- Return-sensitive clothing or footwear without sizing confidence
- Food, supplements, cosmetics or batteries without prior checks
- Very cheap single items or oversized retail cartons
- Fragile or presentation-sensitive goods that are risky to repack
Product fit and parcel handling
Choose compact, eligible parcels and use consolidation or repacking only where it suits the item and destination.
SERVICE CLARITY
Package forwarding, not courier booking
This page is for package forwarding from a New Zealand retailer through Jetkrate. It is not direct courier booking for a parcel already with you in New Zealand.
LANDED COST
Include VAT, duty and return risk
For UK-bound parcels, compare the full landed cost and the practicality of returns before buying from a New Zealand retailer.
