Making Shipping Easy & Quick.

Since 2017, EMA have become experts in shipping anything to anywhere around New Zealand. We use two methods for livestock shipping:

  • Overnight Courier
  • Same Day Airfreight

Overnight Courier

We provide overnight courier services with both NZ Couriers & NZ Post. Depending on what is shipping will depend on what carrier we use. Livestock is only sent with NZ Couriers.

Normally, dry goods are sent same day the order is placed (excludes weekends and orders made after 2pm weekdays), and livestock is sent at the first opportunity or when is suitable.

A tracking link is automatically sent once the carrier collects.

Pricing for this service is presented to you at checkout and is dependant on item, destination and size/weight.

Same Day Airfreight

This service is used for livestock only, and is available for any Air New Zealand serviced airport around the country.

Same day airfreight is our preferred method of transport, and for select species, is the only method of transport we will use.

Airfreight vastly reduces the stress inflicted on the animal at a critical point in the animals life, allowing for quicker adaption into the animals new home, as well as greater longer sucess.

The service is an airport to airport service - you'll be notified of the flight details (bookable at a date that suits you) and collection details.

As this is a airport to airport service, you'll need to collect the consignment from your local airport.(Details will be emailed ahead of flight).

This service is a flat $75 NZ Wide, and is up to 15kg in weight (approx 7x large fish/13x small fish/small coral).

How we pack

Our trained staff members are accustomed to shipping livestock, we do it everyday! How we ship these delicate animals can be found below.

  • All livestock is shipped via polyboxes.
  • Livestock is packed as late as possible prior to collection. For airfreight this is 2 hours prior to flight (due to Air NZ requirements + transport to the airport by EMA staff) and courier livestocks are packed from 2pm the day of shipping.
  • Oxygen is used where appropriate.
  • Livestock is double bagged to prevent leaks.
  • Livestock is covered with paper to reduce stress by light.
  • Heat packs are used where appropriate and according to the destination.
  • All shipments are then labelled as live fish, using clearly designed labels.
