Title: Shipping of a duc to NZ for a few weeks Post by: BribieDuc on August 28, 2008, 01:46:39 PM Does anyone have any advice for a trans-Tasman freight forwarder or shipping company?. I'm taking my little Monza to NZ for a few weeks in March next year for a rally. I'm looking for a cheap and easy way to move it, crated, from Brisbane to Christchurch, and return. Anyone done this other than with the GetRouted option? ;D
Thanks, John Title: Re: Shipping of a duc to NZ for a few weeks Post by: Betty on August 28, 2008, 02:47:26 PM Haven't done it, sorry .... and get routed was going to be my suggestion. Like I said, haven't used them, it was the only mob I had heard of.

I flew over to Auckland, stayed with a mate, bought a bike, then got him to sell it for me when I'd finished with it. Lost a bit of money but similar cost to shipping I suppose.
All I can suggest is look through the back of some current Road Rider magazines or something. They often have ads for this sort of stuff. Title: Re: Shipping of a duc to NZ for a few weeks Post by: 748s on August 28, 2008, 08:56:50 PM some links on this site to check

Containers have probably killed that boat. Title: Re: Shipping of a duc to NZ for a few weeks Post by: ellingly on August 29, 2008, 04:50:40 PM http://www.getrouted.com.au/
