Is everyone finding that shipping, if you are trying for some convenience, it VERY expensive? To send a single DVD, tracked as that is the only option from NZPost, it now costs $5.60. I tried the pricing calculator if I wrapped the DVD in paper and it was no cheaper. That is for anywhere in NZ. Additional $4.30 for Rural.

Thanks folks - excellent information here. 

Hey folks - when you book a courier and you do not have bags on hand, what happens then? Does the courier show up at the door with a prepaid bag?
