Try these guys shipping to and from OZ

it's consolidated cargo can take a few weeks, but rates are something like $600 USD from US ports to OZ ports, and they go other places from OZ too

Hi,

Dave please resist the temptation to excuse your behaviour by saying that its a "Kiwi" thing! As a New Zealander I really resent the fact the you think being crass and obnoxious is something that all Kiwi's do!

By the way I still stand behind all my posts here and would not recommend such an unprofessional business to anyone I meet, I did enjoy your comment about "Libel" It is usually a requirement that the statements are false....so no case here mate...but good luck with that!...by the way on this thread there are five seperate individual complaints about dealings with your company...and you say this is not a representative sample of "Get Routed" customers...I surmise it may be the tip of the iceberg?

A bit of advice Dave instead of dismissing all the ex customers who have had very negative experiences as wingers, complainers, yuppie's or people who have never travelled, you may want to have a real good look at how you actually present yourself and your company, as has been pointed out to you in other posts your website speaks volumes about your attitude or perhaps you could politely and professionally address the issues when they are raised?......and remember it's not actually such a bad thing to wish someone a nice day!..."Have a nice day" Dave!

Hey
I have to say tha i used Dave to ship my Harley to the UK in 2012 for a 12 week tour of UK, Europe and Ireland and I of M (18,000k)
We had no problems and everything promised was done. The bikes were a week late but we knew this as we could track the container on the net and Dave kept us up to date anywhay. I have to say it was not his fault as he was not in control of the ship. To book to arrive in the UK without allowing a couple of weeks for the bikes to preceed you is just silly, its oceans, ships, ports, strikes, bad weather etc etc.
Dave organised insurance for the bike for the 12 weeks at a good price. Sure he is a bit rough around the edges but he is to the point and honest

" A bit rough around the edges" ha,ha the understatement of the year!...its funny when ever "someone" posts its always in the same tone, that the person is stupid and and Dave cannot be blamed for anything!...Dave is not the Captain of the ship..Dave is not responsible because of strikes...Dave is not responsible because of red tape...Blah..Blah...Blah..and funny that it is always their first post...just saying!

I recently shipped my bike to NZ and used Bikes Abroad ,Ivan who I dealt with was very professional and communicated extremely well through the whole process.

Keep to the guys that are open, honest and are not out to rip you off....if you dont care about those things then go and "Get Routed" by Dave!!

yeah thanks for sharing your experience. I've been speaking with the lady from that office via phone/email regarding when i ship out in May. So far they have been really great to deal with.

Hi guys,

Sorry for reviving the thread but I had some news.

I have recently had my motorcycle shipped to New Zealand by the Get Routed company.

Obviously I had been trying to get as much info about them as I could before contacting them. Unfortunately, I didn't find any interesting info on their website - and after what I had read here I did my own ABN search - but to no avail!

Interestingly though, I have found that they have a completely different sister company which sends bike to New Zealand:

Fortunately, after the initial contact all went smoothly and my bike was delivered with no problem.

Maybe their policy has changed?

Unless the company was sold I doubt it!

I was dealing with Dave, for a quote, 18 months back & he told me then, that due to health reasons, he was in the middle of selling the business & that he could not ship in my time frame.
Not sure if it ever happened or not ???

So, what company's would you guys recommend for bike shipping into Australia??
I am riding from the UK to Vladivostok and then ferry to Japan in 2017. After a couple of weeks in Japan Il then be organizing shipping my bike (or air freight if its cheaper) to somewhere in Oz. Its just proving difficult finding where is cheapest and which company's to go with as lots aren't replying to my E-mails for quotes!

Cheers!

If it were me I'd fly, plenty of wide bodied aircraft flying into Oz from Japan. Given time constraints and "unforeseen" charges that go with shipping, I wouldn't consider it for a second, 6 odd weeks versus a day or 3, no shipping agents or B/S either, it's a no brainer!
