Being a cluster of only three islands in the South Pacific Ocean makes it a bit difficult to get to, especially since it is not near much.  Most shipments head to New Zealand, but you can still ship to Tokelau.  They accept shipment both by ocean carriers and by air mail, whichever you prefer.  No matter which avenue you choose, you can get a tracking number and some insurance for your parcels so you can keep an eye on them as they travel to their new home.
