Why the jumbo 60-serving tub is the smart choice
If you have been browsing your local pharmacy in Auckland or Wellington lately, you have probably noticed that Thorne products are available but expensive. Specifically, the Thorne 'Daily Greens Plus' usually only comes in the 30-serving size. In 2026, the value gap has widened. The jumbo 60-serving tub, which is a US-market exclusive, offers a much lower cost per scoop compared to buying two smaller tubs locally.
For those of us in New Zealand, the math is simple: buying the larger format directly from the States saves a significant amount of money over the long term. Since this size is not stocked by NZ distributors, the only way to get it is through a package forwarding service that gives you access to US inventory.
Overcoming US store payment blocks with BuyForMe
One of the biggest headaches when trying to shop US store sites from NZ is the checkout process. Some major retailers and even specialized health supplement sites have a habit of blocking international credit cards. You might find that your order gets cancelled immediately because your billing address is in New Zealand, or because you are trying to ship to a freight forwarder.
This is exactly why the BuyForMe service exists. Instead of fighting with a checkout page that won't accept your card, you simply tell comGateway what you want. They use a US domestic payment method to complete the purchase on your behalf. This proxy shopping solution is the safest way to ensure your Thorne jumbo tub is secured without the risk of a cancelled transaction. It takes the stress out of the process, especially when dealing with stores that have strict regional restrictions.
Setting up your US-to-NZ shipping route
Once you have secured your jumbo tub, you need a way to get it across the Pacific. Since most US supplement stores don't offer direct international shipping to New Zealand—or if they do, the prices are astronomical—using a tax-free us address is the standard move. By shipping your package to a warehouse in a state like Oregon, you avoid US sales tax entirely, which adds even more savings to your Thorne haul.
Using comGateway as your freight forwarder allows you to consolidate multiple orders. If you are also eyeing some US-only athletic gear or other health supplements, you can bundle them together to save on the total shipping weight.
Managing your shipping budget and rates
Before you hit the buy button, it is always a good idea to know what you are going to pay for the journey to your doorstep. You can use a shipping calculator to get an instant estimate of the costs based on the weight of the 60-serving tub. Thorne's jumbo tubs are sturdy but relatively lightweight, making them ideal for air freight.
To get the best value, check the current international shipping rates. Depending on how fast you need your greens, you can choose between express options like DHL international shipping or more economical routes. Many NZ shoppers prefer FedEx international shipping for its reliability and tracking updates as the package moves through the Pacific hubs.
Understanding NZ import tax and GST in 2026
When importing goods into New Zealand, you need to stay aware of the current customs regulations. As of 2026, the import tax and GST rules remain consistent for personal imports. Generally, if your total order value (including shipping) stays under a certain threshold, you might not be hit with extra fees at the border. However, for larger orders or high-value health stacks, GST is often collected at the point of sale or upon entry.
Check out our guide on import duties to see how these charges are calculated for NZ residents. Being prepared for potential customs fees ensures there are no surprises when your international shipping service notifies you that your package has arrived in the country. By planning ahead and using a buy for me service, you can bypass the local pharmacy markups and keep your wellness routine stocked with the best value Thorne has to offer.
