Written by the company

Why we’re different, is because we offer you a specialised niche shipping service specifically tailored to solving your problem. Because we are a family owned business we can be flexible and offer many services outside traditional freight forwarding. Services like fixing an oil leak on your excavator so it doesn't miss the next sailing. Or taking photos of your yacht loading if you can't be there in person to give you piece of mind.

Great information- on website and provided with quoting process.
Feels like you can be confident you are dealing with experts in this field as it is pretty daunting and expensive process!

Great service

Great service. Very good communications throughout entire process. Assisted with potentially difficult customs regulations at destination.

Hi Kieran,
We never promised that. We state "80% receive a quote in 30 seconds!".
We don't keep rates on file for every port pair in the world.
Given how unhappy you are before engaging with us…and before we have even quoted, we agree - it would be best for everyone if you took your business elsewhere

I think from a first timers approach to importing your company makes the most sense, on top of that Barbara in Christchurch is so good that if anyone asks me who the best is it will be Barbara Redway. she keeps it easy and a memorable experience that i will never forget. Thank you Barbara. Lets see how the now second part of my cars trip goes when you guys deliver it to Brisbane.

Shipped vehicle from UK to Fremantle…

Shipped vehicle from UK to Fremantle with no problems and good service except they unfortunately under quote and then over charge to make up for it. They then pass the query around different departments until you get tired of it and give up.
BEWARE !!

Further to above review I have had no offer of recompense and no plausible explanation except the less than truthful justification for the Panama Canal levy which they say is a mistake and should be for the Suez Canal but the shipping company inform me that the ship went via the Cape and didn't use either canal.
I have now given up as their explanations cant be trusted.
They have charged for services that were not quoted and manipulated the currency exchange to suit themselves.
Have now received reply as can be seen here.
Of course the quote is 4 months old it took Taurus 2 months to get it on a ship and a further month of shipping. All lame excuses and still no explanations. Not to be trusted !!!!

Hi Michael,
Thanks for the feedback and I’m pleased you were happy with our service.

Sorry, we agree to disagree on a couple of the charges. You were not passed to different departments, only to me as the owner of the company.

Your quote is over 4 months old and yes in that time the routing of vessels can change. However, we honoured the quote you accepted even though the vessel's routing and costs have changed.
All the best and enjoy driving that special Porsche.

4x4 truck and caravan for overlanding trip …

We shipped our truck and caravan from Lyttleton to Southhampton in the UK and picked it up on Tuesday this week, exceptionally well organised and stress free. Arrived on time, excellent communication right through process. I couldn’t recommend these guys more, all round professional service, thank you
