How to Get Free Courier Bags with iShipping: Sizes, Steps and Smart Shipping Tips
1. Why Courier Bags Are the Smarter Choice for NZ Online Sellers
If you sell online in New Zealand, you’ve probably noticed that shipping costs climb quickly, especially when sending from Auckland to the South Island.For sellers dealing in small or high-volume products, even a few extra dollars in courier fees can quickly eat into profit.
That is where courier bags come in. Instead of being priced by distance, courier bag rates are based on size. Whether you are sending to Wellington or Queenstown, the cost stays the same and starts from around $3.96 for standard non-rural deliveries. As long as your item fits and the bag is sealed, it is ready to go. No weighing, no quoting, and no hassle.
Packaging costs can also add up. In New Zealand, courier bags are not cheap, and finding a balance between cost control and professional packaging can be a real challenge for small businesses.
To make shipping simpler and more affordable, iShipping now offers free courier bags for all sellers who use the platform.These bags work with NZ Post and Aramex services and are available in DLE, A5, and A4 sizes, helping you ship anywhere in New Zealand with lower overall costs.
2. Free Courier Bag Sizes Available
iShipping provides three free bag sizes to suit everything from small accessories to apparel and gift boxes. If you need other bag sizes, feel free to contact us. We also offer them at discounted prices for iShipping users.
- DLE (13 × 24 cm) ：Best for small, lightweight items such as earrings, USB cables, receipts or nail sets. Compact and affordable.
- A5 (19 × 28 cm) ：Perfect for cosmetics, stationery, phone cases or fashion accessories. Just the right size for a neat, professional package.
- A4 (25 × 35 cm) ： Great for clothing, books or small gifts. Spacious and flexible, the everyday go-to for most sellers.
All three sizes work with NZ Post and Aramex services.By using standard courier bags, you can simplify packing and access flat-rate nationwide pricing (excluding rural deliveries). That means more predictable shipping costs and easier budgeting for your business.
