Sea freight is charged by cubic metre. Sell bulky furniture in NZ and buy second-hand in Australia — you'll often come out ahead financially and avoid the 6–10 week wait.
Trans-Tasman flights are cheapest booked 8–12 weeks ahead. Avoid school holidays and long weekends. Flying into Melbourne or Brisbane is often cheaper than Sydney.
