Quick tips
- Add ~$5 if the buyer's address is rural delivery (RD).
- Saddles and bulk rugs need a saddle box or strapping — factor that into the price.
- Tracked CourierPost is recommended for anything over $100 so it's covered if lost.
- Inter-island (NI ↔ SI) usually adds $2 – $5 on top of the urban rate.
