Yep they will but gonna cost heaps. Be just about cheaper to buy a lawnmower in Auckland .

Stick it on a pallet and take it to a freight company, won't cost that much.

Turn the blade over and use it like a hovercraft to drive there

Pull it to bits and post each bit in a small envelope by regular mail. Be cheaper.

Meant to say its only a push mower not a ride on.

I've shipped a lawnmower through shipmytrade.co.nz, yes it had to be drained of all liquids. I used their large items service. I had to check they would take it unpackaged, which they did (I just had to make sure the sender attached an address label).

If it's only a pushmower, why are you talking abiut draining the fuel and oil out of it! Or is this just a wind-up!

Some courier firms Ive been told wont carry them with fuel or oil in them, not a wind up.

terminoligy i think mate. to some people a push mower means petrol mower. to some it means old school reel style.
