How it works
Four steps, one reference number
You do the first one. We do the other three.
- 01
Send us the link
Paste the product page from any US retailer. Tell us the size, colour and how many.
- 02
We check & quote it
A person reviews whether it can be imported, then sends you an itemised quote — no surprises buried at the end.
- 03
We buy it in America
Once you're happy, we purchase it with our US card and ship it to our US address.
- 04
We get it to New Zealand
We check it, repack it, fly it over and hand it to a local courier. You watch every step.
Typical end-to-end time is two to four weeks, depending on the retailer and the freight service. See the full journey
Why AmeriKiwi
A concierge, not a checkout
Freight forwarders give you a US address and wish you luck. We do the buying, the checking and the chasing.
Human purchasing assistance
US checkouts that reject NZ cards, addresses and phone numbers are our normal Tuesday. We handle them.
Import eligibility screening
Every request is reviewed by a person before we buy. If something can't come in, you'll know before you pay.
A transparent quote
Product, US shipping, our fee, freight, delivery and estimated duty — listed separately, in New Zealand dollars.
Package consolidation
Buying from three shops? We hold your parcels and send them as one, so you pay freight once.
Tracking the whole way
From 'bought in the US' to 'with your courier in Christchurch' — one timeline, one reference number.
Someone to help when it goes wrong
Wrong size shipped? Box arrived dented? You get a real person who already knows your order.
Popular use cases
What Kiwis actually ask us for
These are the requests that fill our inbox.
Limited editions
Drops and pre-orders that sell out before they reach the rest of the world.
Collectibles
Trading cards, figures, vinyl and memorabilia from US-exclusive stores.
Hobby gear
Model kits, craft supplies, sports and music gear at American prices.
Replacement parts
The obscure part your NZ supplier quotes six weeks and four times the price for.
American brands
Household names that simply don't ship here — or charge more than the item to try.
Transparent pricing
One service fee. Everything else at cost.
We charge for the work we do — buying, screening, receiving and supporting. Freight, tax and duty are passed through and shown separately.
- Nothing to pay until you accept a quote
- Product, freight and duty listed as separate lines
- Estimates are labelled as estimates — always
- Duty and GST are set by NZ Customs, not by us
AmeriKiwi service fee
NZ$35 minimum
or 13.5% of the product plus US shipping — whichever is greater.

Before we buy anything
Some things simply can't come in. We'd rather tell you first.
Every request gets a real review. Our software flags the obvious problems, but a person makes the call — and we'll always explain the answer.
Generally proceeds to review
Clothing, footwear, books, collectibles, hobby gear, toys without batteries, ordinary household goods and uncomplicated replacement parts.
Always manual review
Electronics, anything with a battery, cosmetics, unusual materials, and anything where import eligibility is uncertain.
Not accepted
Food, drink, supplements, medicines, alcohol, tobacco, vapes, weapons, perfume, aerosols, flammables, dangerous chemicals, meat, dairy, honey, seeds and plants.
