Absolutely normal for Conrad price for the transfer to be higher than Mirihi’s. In fact the differential is a bit lower than I remember. We prefer to use Mirihi to do the transfer, not because it’s cheaper but simply because we’re leaving Mirihi so it’s much easier to control the timing (they normally call Conrad and make sure they’re ready for us before we leave etc).

The Mirihi price is also about what I’m used to, maybe a little lower actually. The trip takes maybe 15 mins (slow start and end of course - middle bit at speed is just 5 mins I guess).
