Default Global shipping Programme

I Stay away from any sellers using Global shipping (to NZ) or ask if the seller can send via UPS.
Here is 3 reasons why I avoid Global shipping:
1) We don't pay import fees into NZ on anything less than 200 GBP/300USD.
2) It takes longer to ship via GSP by about 2 weeks.
3) Cost is cheaper via USPS and is tracked if seller is willing to not use global shipping.

Apparently Global shipping is easier logistically for the seller.

How I get around it , by having a contact in the States and or using "You Post"which you have sent to a freight forwarding address in either US or UK and they will send, generally way cheaper and quicker than normal post.

Which is what I am going to use for Postwardens Badges on Battledress volumes.
