Default Can you believe it -- aluminum unavailable in NZL!

The last time I tried to get something shipped from the USA to NZL the
*minimum* freight cost (for sea-freight) was going to be US$390 due to
the 1 cubic-meter minimum.

Importing this stuff would make it almost as expensive as gold :-)



Hmm... US$390 for three tonnes of aluminium might be quite a reasonable
shipping cost.
