Hi Mike, List,

You may want to take a look at the International shipping calculator 
page of the USPS:

http://ircalc.usps.gov/

For a 10 pound package to NZ, the cost is $48.25 for Airmail Parcel 
Post with 4 to 10 days delivery. Although much slower at 4 to 6 weeks, 
the cost for a 10 pound package to NZ by Economy (surface) Parcel Post 
is $28.10.
