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.

Always check exact rates
