There are cheap deals in the states for all sorts of stuff but often they need a US mail address. Is there a company that will send on to NZ? Also I see Cabelas is advertising in NZ. Do they have an NZ shop or will they post to NZ?

freight is the killer,
And don't forget about the GST, duty and any biosecurity fee they decide to charge on it entering NZ.
Try keep and it under $400 and you might slip under the customs radar.
I should add, I buy a lot but have an unusual freight saver in the familyQuote:

Sorry to hijack your thread mate
Have purchased a lot of bits and bobs from cabelas, largest item was Tipton gun vice, all arrived within a week, and it will say when ordering if they can ship outside the states or not.
Keep the orders under $400 NZD

cabelas is good for clothing and bits.

I have brought a fair bit from Cabelas over time. Always a good experience.

b) I have brought in maybe $300NZ of small parts for my Enfield in the last few months. Watch out for being caught by NZ customs. The limit is $400NZ I think but Ive heard of ppl being "caught" for much less....YMMV.
Didnt someone in here say the US customs confiscated his once used brass? might be safer to just not bother....unless you want a new miss's....Quote:

Because of freight costs I only buy stuff I can't buy here in NZ ,
Because of outright gouging I only buy locally stuff I can't get from the US.Quote:

cheers
Some companies only ship to billing address.Quote:

YouShop denied sending me 200 Lapua brass today from the US. Had to return them to the store. Bullets and brass no more. Even parts and some accessories.
Welcome xring. You snuck in under the radar.
