I have not dealt with this vendor, but there are many other vendors that ship overseas. I mostly use Quadratec and SummitRacing. I have got a lot of the stuff directly from them.
Also, you can use somebody like
www.buyusa.co.nz to get your freight from US. I have used them in the past with good result.
Other option is to talk to Dave at
www.wooders.com.au and see if he can organise something for you. Good guy.

Not yet, but soon. You can still get certed with over 50mm for now as far as I understand it.
Going to need a cert for long arms anyway (again as I understand it).

Someone directed me to kiwishipping.co.nz today. From an email dated June last year they were quoting $5 per cubic foot ($75 minimum) to Tauranga or Auckland, including customs paperwork. I assume that's NZ$ and I'm going to check. They provide an address in California to ship to and you can consolidate multiple items into one shipment. They need paperwork, but an eBay or PayPal invoice is good enough.
Edit: they seem to ship to Welly also, which is what I hoped with the flashy Mainfreight depot they have there now.
