Help with moving mountaineering equipment from Nepal

Can you help???
I am currently trying to get my mountaineering gear from nepal back to Christchurch where i currently live. There is about 20kg in two bags, the best quote i have at the moment is $950. Does anyone know of a cheaper way for me to do this.
Cheers,
Dan

Hey, I posted some gear home 5-10 kg through TNT. I can't remember the exact cost, but it was stuff all... 30 US maybe. It got to NZ pretty quickly (this was last Dec) but then held up in customs because I wasn't here to fill out a form. That was through a rough looking office of theirs in Kathmandu, near Thamel. But there was a German guy in sending three motorbikes to Sweden at the same time - so they do bigger stuff too. I have the emails from them if you want an address.
Talking to the Guides is a good idea though... mine was a one off
Have you called the guiding companies (specifically thinking Adventure Consultants) and asked how they move gear back and forth? They must have a similar problem on occasion.
