Well that is the qualifications sent off to the NZQA for assessment.
Being a bit concerned about my certificates getting all damaged in the post to NZ I got a D3 (size 7) Royal Mail postpak (yes that is the correct spelling) and an A1 piece of heavy card. I cut the card to the length of the postpak and then cut it so that it was just smaller than twice the width, scored it and folded it. This created a stiff open sided "folder" to send the certificates so that they stayed flat.
The length, width and depth of the postpak when added together was less than 90cm so I could use the airmail, airsure service. As replacing the certificates would cost more than the £35 standard insurance I took out the extra cover for up to £500 for £2. Cost for that was £14.26.
I can track the airsure package and it is a guaranteed 48 hour service (aye right) so hopefully it will be in Wellington for their Tuesday am.
The assessment of the qualifications and the return of the documents will cost NZ$450 about £180.70.
Running costs=£1.90+ £2.50+£14.26+£180.70=£254.26
Total costs = £316.74+£254.26=.£562.00

Photocopying and pricing up sending a package
Just got all the photocopying of things done today. This meant a trip into a photocopy shop as libraries tend not to have A3 size photocopiers. Total cost of that, including parking, 72p!
I have been researching the costs of getting the info to New Zealand. The cheapest and fastest route is good old Royal Mail. Anything up to 2kg can be sent by "Airsure", the link to it is below, where NZ is a cost bracket all of its own. There are size restrictions like the total of the length, width and depth of the packet must not exceed 90cm. The letter should take 4 days to arrive and can be tracked too. Given the cost of the documents and the replacement costs I would advise taking the £500 insurance even though it costs a relatively high £2.

The next cheapest I found was £50, so I ain't taking those as an option.
Costs today 72p
Total costs = £283.25+£0.72 =£283.97
