Container Shipping Options to New Zealand
When it comes to shipping a container to New Zealand, you will be happy to know we offer three main options to get it there. We can help you decide on which option is best, which will depend on your time constraints, amount of goods, and budget.
Consolidated Container
On a tight budget or don’t have enough to fill a whole container by yourself? Choose the shared container option to share the unit with other customers. It ships when it fills, so you may have to wait on other people. This is the more affordable option of the three.
Exclusive Container
Also referred to as a sole container, this is the middle choice in terms of price. It comes with a more predictable sailing timeline because it’s just you filling an entire 20 or 40-foot container. It will cost you more but it has a quicker time to set sail. If you have enough goods to fill a whole container, choose this.
Air Freight
When you simply can’t wait around for weeks to receive your shipping container in New Zealand, try air freight. It’s the most expensive option but only takes a few days instead of weeks.
Destination Ports in New Zealand
We frequently sail into these 10 main destination ports in New Zealand. In fact, New Zealand is one of the only countries that have so many ports for containers to sail into. Those ports include:
âś“ Auckland
âś“ Hamilton
âś“ Tauranga
âś“ Christchurch
âś“ Napier-Hastings
âś“ Dunedin
âś“ Rotorua
âś“ Nelson
âś“ Wellington
âś“ Palmerston North
Wellington is the capital of New Zealand, which is a frequent port we service, but we also sail into many other ports all over the country to match your logistical needs.
Departure Ports in the USA
To get to New Zealand, select one of these main departure ports in the USA.
âś“ Los Angeles, CA
âś“ Houston, TX

The port your container sails out of will directly determine total transit time as well as cost.
