Buying a Kiwitub in New Zealand - delivery.
Please include your address and a contact phone number. We'll email you a GST invoice with the total price including shipping, and payment options. As soon as that's paid, we can get a Kiwitub off to you.
Buying a Kiwitub outside New Zealand - delivery.
We've never actually advertised the Kiwitub outside New Zealand. But people do find us, and we've exported 50-60 over the years, mostly to Australia (but also to the UK, Alaska, France, the NZ embassy in Austria, etc.). The burner, flue and collection of bits pack inside the very tough plastic tub and lid, which then becomes a protective carrying container for them - we've never had any damage.
Do note that we haven't any support back-up outside New Zealand. On the other hand, the Kiwitub is brutally strong, long lasting and simple, and there's pretty much nothing you can do to it that can't be readily repaired, or small bits cheaply replaced. But this is at your own risk - we just can't offer a guarantee outside New Zealand backed by a service network.
If you want to buy a Kiwitub from outside New Zealand, just let us know - do please include your address and a contact phone number.
Especially for Australia, it's usually very much cheaper to just send the Kiwitub to a customs warehouse in a main city. The customer can drive up to the depot, pay any landing or other customs duties, and drive off with the Kiwitub on their trailer or ute. Collecting one Kiwitub in Sydney recently, the owners were in and out in half an hour.
We don't sell the Kiwitub burner on its own outside New Zealand. Sorry, just too complex and time-consuming to pack, administer and send.
