Talk about just about anything else that is non-gaming here, but keep it clean

How much would it cost to ship a Gamecube to New Zealand?

Post by yosh »

From British Columbia. I have a friend who really wants a gamecube, he has some NTSC games and a controller, so I just need to send him the console and some cables. How much would it cost?

Hi there, I'm from New Zealand as well. You'd be best to check that up with your post office, since it varies depending on the size and weight.

Also, make sure that he has a dedicated stepdown converter or an Australasian Gamecube Power Adapter.

Haha, not quite! :D Australasia is a region of Oceania, consisting of Australia and New Zealand, amongst others. The reason I said that is because we use the same power plug.

Hobie made this weight chart. Post office should be able to provide the rest.

A loose GC with the digital port is 3 pounds. Unless they have a transformer to plug a 110v unit into the 240v probably better off letting them get a power brick there. Packing and an AV cable might add another pound depending. Go to USPS.com and get an estimate for 4 pounds weight.

I didn't know there were (m)any kiwis on Racketboy. :o

And on topic, I have no idea.

Dual citizen myself! My dad was born in Wellington and grew up in Lowerhut. I've visited a few times and I'm probably going to spend a semester out in Otago. I love me some NZ.

Where you from?
Don't that just look oh so tasty?
