Buying Camping & 4x4 Gear in New Zealand: Shipping, GST & Tips from Rainger Supply Co.
New Zealand Buyers: Your Guide to Camping & 4x4 Gear from Rainger Supply Co.
Kia ora! If you’re in Aotearoa and hunting for roof top tents, awnings, swags, recovery gear, lighting and tough canvas storage, this quick guide explains how we ship from Queensland, what to expect with delivery to NZ, how GST/duties work, and how we can help if a checkout quote looks odd. We’re friendly, fast, and here to make it easy.
Why NZ customers shop with us
- Pro-grade range: RTTs, batwing/270° awnings, swags, camp chairs, canvas organisers & tool rolls, recovery boards & ropes, LED lighting, power & solar.
- Built for the outdoors: We obsess over rugged materials, smart storage and camp-ready designs that suit Kiwi trips—from coastal missions to alpine weekends.
- Fast dispatch: Orders usually leave our Baringa, QLD warehouse in 1–3 business days.
- Human support: Website chat is staffed by real people. If a shipping rate looks off, ping us—we’ll re-check, re-pack or quote alternatives.
Shipping to New Zealand—how it works
Delivery time: Typically 3–7 business days to NZ metro after dispatch (remote areas can take longer). Some items ship in multiple cartons; you’ll receive tracking for each.
Service terms: We ship to NZ on Delivered At Place (DAP) terms—also called receiver-pays. That means NZ Customs may charge GST and/or duty on arrival. This isn’t included in our product or freight price.
Need an all-in estimate? Message us on website chat and we’ll help you estimate the landed cost before you buy.
