Australia regularly gets exclusive Pokemon TCG releases — like the 30th Anniversary set or EB World Plus member-exclusive pre-orders — and these Australia-only drops and restocks often sell out within minutes. But major Australian card retailers like EB Games and JB Hi-Fi don’t ship internationally to New Zealand. Here’s how to use Ebaoguo to get these Australian-exclusive releases.
Can EB Games or JB Hi-Fi ship cards to New Zealand?
No. EB Games Australia states clearly that it only delivers within Australia and does not ship internationally (with a narrow exception for select items to New Zealand). JB Hi-Fi, Big W and Kmart are the same — if you want an Australian-exclusive release or a shot at a first-day drop, you need an Australian address to receive it.
Note: EB Games has a narrow direct-to-New-Zealand exception for select items, but it doesn’t reliably cover exclusive/limited releases — for an Australia-only first-day drop or anniversary set, forwarding is still the safer route.
The workaround: use Ebaoguo’s Melbourne address
It’s simple — use Ebaoguo’s Melbourne warehouse address as your delivery address, and we handle the rest:
- Register a free Ebaoguo account to get your own Australian receiving address and member ID — do this before you order.
- Order on EB Games / JB Hi-Fi, using our Melbourne warehouse address as delivery.
- Your parcel is logged in — the warehouse photographs it on arrival; note any extra padding requests for card products at submission.
- Consolidate with other orders combine purchases from other Australian stores into one shipment (30kg max per box).
- Ship to New Zealand

FAQ
Q: Will my cards get crushed in transit?
The warehouse photographs your parcel’s condition on arrival — request extra padding when you submit for forwarding, and confirm specific reinforcement options with support.
Q: Does EB Games / JB Hi-Fi need to know the order is being forwarded?
No — you simply use the Melbourne address as your delivery address, and the order ships domestically within Australia as usual.
Q: Can I consolidate with other purchases?
Yes — anything sent to your Ebaoguo Melbourne address, from any store, can be combined into one outgoing shipment.
Q: How much does forwarding cost?
From AU$10/kg, 5–10 days — get an exact price at the shipping calculator.
Bottom line: if you want it — Australian pricing, exclusive stock, or a limited release — a Melbourne receiving address is how you get it. Get a live quote and start forwarding.
