We have had our kids in to help pack orders.

On a big day everyone gets pulled into the warehouse. Freight forwarding staff come out to help process orders, office folk get on the floor, and yes, the kids have been in too. For a fee, of course. They negotiate hard.

That is what a family business looks like when the volume spikes. Method Global has run that way since 2008, across New Zealand and Australia.

Nobody decides to become a warehouse.

It happens by accident, one job at a time, until the person who was meant to be growing the business is the person picking orders at nine at night.

Every one of these is a real job that has to be done properly. That is exactly the problem. They are real enough to eat your week, and none of them are the thing only you can do.

How many hats are you wearing this week?

30/08/2026

"Customers come to us when they realise they cannot wear all the hats it takes to run a business."

That is one of our directors describing the moment almost every customer arrives at.

Nobody goes looking for a 3PL because they want one. They go looking when the packing has taken over the evenings, when nobody can take leave without it falling apart, and when the thing they are actually good at keeps getting pushed down the list.

That is the point Method Global takes it off you. Orders picked and packed properly, and your week back to grow the business instead of run the warehouse.

Around 24 people across three sites in Christchurch, Auckland and Brisbane, handling 1,500+ warehouse orders a month.

Which hat are you wearing this week that was never meant to be yours?

Get your freight sorted before September.

Spring doesn't just bring warmer weather. It triggers a chain reaction across every port, airline, and warehouse in New Zealand and Australia. New season retail stock, pre-Christmas inventory, and fresh produce exports all hit the freight system at once. The carriers get tight, the rates climb, and the businesses that left it too late end up paying a premium for the leftover space. One thing we see every year at Method Global: the real bottleneck isn't the ship or the plane. It's the last mile and the warehouse capacity to receive, unpack, and dispatch quickly. If your 3PL isn't locked in, your freight timing becomes irrelevant.

We handle the freight most companies push away. Dangerous goods, perishables, high-value beverages, event and aviation freight. That complexity means we plan earlier, deeper, and with more contingency than standard forwarders. The team is already mapping out capacity across our 4,650m2 of warehousing in Christchurch, Auckland, and Brisbane so our clients aren't chasing space in a panic.

Method Global processes over 300 import and export shipments a month alongside 1,500 warehouse orders. We know what a stretched supply chain looks like, and we know how to keep yours out of it.

EXW, FOB, DDP: three letters, big money.

Incoterms decide who pays for freight, who carries the risk and who gets the bill when something goes wrong mid-ocean. Plenty of importers agree to terms without realising what they just took on.

The Method Global team walks clients through this before they sign, not after the dispute. If your supplier picked the terms, it is worth asking who they really favour.

One container of whiskey, loaded properly.

Filling a container isn’t just stacking pallets until the doors close. Weight distribution keeps it safe on the road, freight placement protects fragile cargo, and every item is meticulously accounted for.

As specialists in international beverage shipping, we handle your import, export, and customs requirements seamlessly.

Method Global manages the entire process end-to-end—from the warehouse floor to the seal on the door. Backed by 300+ import and export shipments a month across New Zealand and Australia since 2008.

Your own warehouse looks cheaper on paper. Then you add the lease, the racking, the WMS licence, the forklift maintenance, the three new staff you didn't budget for, and the Saturday mornings you spend packing cartons instead of building the brand.

The real crossover point, where 3PL becomes cheaper than doing it yourself, hits earlier than most growing brands calculate. You're not just paying for space. You're paying for the mistakes you haven't made yet: the mis-picks that trigger chargebacks, the pallet of stock damaged by a temp who wasn't trained, the peak season scramble when your shipping table drowns.

Method Global handles this daily across 4,650m2 of warehousing at three sites, processing 1,500+ warehouse orders a month for brands that ran the numbers and realised their time was the most expensive line item.

The show starts whether your gear arrives or not.

Event freight is logistics with the safety net removed. There is no next slot, no quiet reschedule, no partial delivery that sort of works. The date is the date.

It is one of Method Global's specialties for exactly that reason. Swipe through for how event logistics differs from ordinary freight, and what to lock in early.

Freight is a people business first.

Systems track boxes. People solve problems. The difference between a shipment that quietly arrives and one that becomes your whole week is usually a person who cared enough to catch the issue early.

That is the team we have built at Method Global. Experienced operators who treat your freight like their reputation depends on it, because it does.

Two countries, two customs systems, one freight headache you don't need.

When you ship across the Tasman, you are not just moving goods. You are navigating New Zealand's MPI biosecurity rules on one end and Australia's Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry on the other. One missed declaration or incorrectly coded tariff, and your freight sits in a bond store racking up demurrage charges by the hour.

At Method Global, we clear freight on both sides of the Tasman through a single internal team. That means your shipment has one point of contact who understands both regimes, not two brokers blaming each other while your goods sit idle. We handle the paperwork, the biosecurity lodgements, and the customs entries end to end. It is the reason we move 300+ import/export shipments a month without the finger-pointing.

Trans-Tasman freight is our home lane. We have been running it since 2008.
