In New Zealand, finding these at a fair price is nearly impossible. Local boutique shops and resellers often double or triple the price because the stock is so limited. However, the US Pop Mart store frequently has restocks that are much more accessible if you know how to shop US store sites properly. Staying on top of popular products is the best way to catch these drops before they sell out.

The math on saving $85 per set

Let's look at why it makes sense to shop internationally. In Auckland or Wellington, a single "Have a Seat" blind box can go for as high as $65 NZD, while a full set of six can easily cost you $380 NZD through resellers.

Item US Retail (Converted to NZD) NZ Reseller Price Potential Saving
Full Set (6 Boxes) ~$240 NZD ~$380 NZD $140 NZD
Single Blind Box ~$38 NZD ~$65 NZD $27 NZD

Even after you factor in the cost to forward packages, you are still looking at a saving of about $85 to $100 on a full set. You can use a shipping calculator to estimate shipping cost before you commit, but the numbers usually lean heavily in favor of buying from the States.

Getting your Labubu from a US store to NZ

Since Pop Mart US doesn't ship directly to New Zealand addresses effectively, you will need a freight forwarder. This gives you a tax-free us address which helps you avoid US sales tax at checkout, saving you another 7-10% right off the bat.

Here is a quick step-by-step guide:

  • Sign up for a parcel forwarding service to get your US address.
  • Go to the Pop Mart US website and add your Labubu plushies to the cart.
  • Use your provided US address as the shipping destination.
  • Once it arrives at the warehouse, choose your preferred international shipping method to NZ.

How to fix order cancellations with BuyForMe

One of the biggest hurdles for Kiwi collectors is the dreaded order cancellation. Some US stores, including big names like Nike, Sephora, or even specialty toy stores, have strict filters. They often block international credit cards or instantly decline orders sent to known shipping hubs. If you try to buy your Labubu and find your transaction keeps failing, you aren't alone.

This is where the "BuyForMe" service becomes a lifesaver. Instead of you struggling with a card that the store won't accept, comGateway buys the item on your behalf using a domestic US credit card. This effectively bypasses the regional blocks that stop many New Zealand shoppers. It is the safest way to guarantee your order doesn't get cancelled, especially during high-demand drops where you only have a few minutes to secure your plush before it sells out.

Shipping fees and NZ Customs rules

When shipping toys and vinyl collectibles to New Zealand, there are a few shipping rules to keep in mind. Luckily, plush toys are rarely on the list of restricted goods, so they are very easy to clear through customs.

In 2026, New Zealand's GST rules for low-value goods still apply. If your total order is under $1,000 NZD, the process is generally very smooth. You can check the latest international shipping rates to see which courier fits your budget—DHL is usually faster for those who can't wait to see their Labubu, while other options might save you a few more dollars. To keep costs down, consider consolidating your Labubu order with other us trends you’ve been eyeing so you only pay for one box to cross the Pacific.
