I looked at that one too.... the dogs won't ship to Canada!

A remailer? I use NZ Posts Youshop from the UK and US at times not perfect, but broadly happy, does it work in reverse?

No. Is a one way thing.

Sorry, I know that with NZ Post, I meant is there a North American version that ships from NZ back

yes I have just been checking on it. It is pricy and there’s duty on the Ca end. Also most of the items are higher cost from the Airpoints store.

[QUOTE=Xiaotung;32632529]Have you tried the partner airline booking portal where you can book Star Alliance reward flights online? If it's not available to your Airpoints account, change your address to New Zealand and change it back once you are done.

I’m working on this avenue now. Can’t seem to get flight to Norway but Ohio is available

Buying a airpoints ticket LHR to AKL
 

Is it possible to buy a One way ticket LHR -???-AKL using airpoints ?

How would that help?

Air Nz Wine Store ships globally.

unfortunately not to Canada but thanks for the suggestion

Not to North America (I looked at having them ship wine to the USA several months ago and it was not an option). When they say "globally", it is somewhat deceptive. What they mean is to select countries around the world.
