Thanks for explaining why I was able to ship home the oven Desert Flyer.

Just to add to what a previous poster wrote, if it's at all possible to travel with your extra pieces and keep them under 70 kg, I believe it is, it would be far cheaper to pay the extra baggage fee than to pay a cargo hauler. DHL wanted about $600 to ship the oven (Air New Zealand only $250), but extra checked pieces would have only been $40. Unfortunately, the oven was too heavy to check.
