I found a description of someone who rented a non-operating refrigerated container to ship stuff from the USA to New Zealand for $1500. http://www.faqs.org/faqs/cultures/ne...section-6.html

There was no date on the page, so I'm wondering if anyone has tried this recently, and what the cost was.

Or, alternately, anybody get quote on renting a 20' container from West Coast (USA) ports to Auckland or Wellington? Or shipping their household goods via a moving company?

I could call around, but right now I'm just trying to develop a budget and/or decide whether I should ditch all my stuff here :

Thanks!
