Import duties (nor GST) on goods under $400 don't apply to New Zealand; I think I have found the cheapest method of buying LEGO and shipping to NZ. I am going to compare various costs of the LEGO Creator 10242 Mini Cooper for comparison.Purchase from Toyco in NZ http://www.toyco.co.nz/ = NZD $161.99 which includes a 10% pre-sale discount. The issue is the delay. The set has not yet arrived in NZ. = NZD $179.99 + $70.00 shipping = NZD $249.99Purchase from shop. using NZ Post YouShop https://www.nzpost.co.nz/tools/youshop/app to the UK = £74.99 + free shipping to UK = NZD $144.84.
YouShop shipping = NZD $45.75. Total cost NZD $190.59Purchase from shop. using NZ Post YouShop to the USA = USD $99.99 + free shipping to Oregon = NZD $128.14. Oregon State does not have sales tax. Total cost NZD $173.89.The YouShop shipping costs is based on "volumetric weight" determined by the box size. Often LEGO is shipped in generous boxes so the shipping costs may vary. In summary, the cheapest method is to purchase locally at Toyco however there is usually several months before new releases are available in NZ. Toyco also have discounts for AuckLUG members http://www.aucklug.co.nz/.After that, using YouShop and purchasing from S@H to USA is by far the best method for limited editions as the total cost is similar to what is available internationally but the shipping is offset.I hope this helps. If you are a member of AuckLUG, Toyco should have your name and details, otherwise contact them and they will give you an ID number. Use this email address: info@toyco.co.nzDiscounts vary and there are exclusions (Limited Editions and Expert Creator and a few others) but normally 20-25% off retail.
I have used YouShop for orders to the UK. /article/13885/january-cock-up-at-shop-lego-com-lego-responds#commentsBy Reg in New Zealand, 14 Jan 2015 00:16@flagsnz - thanks for that.It's the US Youshop freight option that I'm referring to but as @L67 said, "LEGO doesn't want their US inventory being shipped overseas. stop the practice recently", so that's probably why the order was cancelled.I've looked at your price comparison thread and I guess I could try UK Youshop but it's probably better to be patient and wait for Toyco to get their shipment in.I will attempt to use YouShop for orders placed in USA. Worth noting Toyco have 20-25% off most Lego every other week, available to everyone!The more astute of us wait until ToyCo have a sale, and then play them off against the Warehouse to take advantage of TW's 'beat them by 10%' promise.
