Weeks 10–14 — Shipping & delivery
Sea freight to Auckland or Sydney takes 20–30 days. Light soft goods — swimwear, towels, caps — can go air freight in 5–8 days when the deadline demands it; boards and kayaks travel by sea. We quote both options where they make sense, handle documents and updates; goods clear customs and arrive at your door.
