I felt relaxed and at ease knowing FPS would take care of all the paperwork and container freight

I recently bought a 1968 Ford Mustang in the USA and a friend recommended using Famous Pacific Shipping to arrange the shipment of my car to New Zealand.

As I had never imported a car from the USA before, I had no idea of what the process and requirements were. So I called Famous Pacific Shipping and spoke with Debbie McKenzie. She was a great help from the start. Together with Lee Woolley, they arranged everything. I felt relaxed and at ease knowing they would take care of all the paperwork and container freight.

The car arrived safely in NZ and once all NZ Customs and MPI inspections were cleared, they invited me to come down to their secure warehouse to view my car.

When I arrived, Lee Woolley greeted me.  We went inside the warehouse to view the Mustang, even encouraging me to start it up to hear that beautiful V8 roar into life. Some other staff members were present and were all very helpful and friendly, the staff were incredible and couldn`t have been more accommodating.

The following week, after my car had passed the IVS inspection, they organised for my car to be delivered safely to my home, which I greatly appreciated

I can confidently recommend Famous Pacific Shipping and all their professional staff to take care of any freight needs you may have.

The entire process was incredibly quick and painless.

Last year I shipped 9 classic cars from the USA to New Zealand. I was fortunate enough to visit Famous Autos USA’s … USA agent ABLE Cargo and was immediately impressed with the facility. I witnessed the way the cars were checked in and the care taken with them the entire time they were there until they were safely packed into the shipping containers. From there I was kept fully up to date by the FPS crew and in no time I had a call to say the cars had arrived in NZ.

FPS had MAF booked to inspect the cars at the Auckland facility and then after they handled the Customs paperwork we got the green light to pick up the cars – they were ours!. We were pleased to see they had arrived in the same condition we dropped them off at ABLE Cargo in the USA – and the entire process was incredibly quick and painless. Thank you FPS!

I started using Famous Pacific 4 years ago.

With my motoracing and my car collection, I am always getting parts and now and then collectible cars from overseas, mainly the US and over the many years of doing this I have used several other freight companies where items have been lost or damaged to the point where I felt I had to move on, that
is till I started using Famous Pacific 4 years ago.

As well they have organized my random purchases in such a way as to help keep my freight costs down and I find if ever a need to redress anything is called for they will listen to the proposal put forward, apply the requirements that they need and come back with a fair solution.  And if something is fair, what can you say?

We will definitely be shipping with Famous Pacific Shipping again.

Dear FPS,

Just a quick email to thank you for all the help that you have given us in the shipment of the Roush Mustang. This has been the first time that we have ever imported a vehicle (by ourselves) from the USA into New Zealand and we were totally new to the whole regime ranging from acquiring the vehicle, getting the LTSA requirements attended to and all the rest of the red tape associated with the importation.

Your patience and help in relation to the questions which we have asked of you have been most appreciated. If we ever intend to purchase one of the new Coyote Mustangs in the future (albeit after 2 years), we will definitely be shipping with Famous Pacific Shipping again.

Many thanks

You guys were always co-operative, pleasant and helpful.

Dear Sir/Madam

I’d just to say that the shipping of my new Corvette to Auckland couldn’t have been better organized. Yes, there were a few changes and complications.

Importing is always going to be like that. The important thing is that the communication line was always open, you guys were always co-operative, pleasant and helpful and I’d just like to say it was a pleasure doing business. If you need a reference or wish to use this testimonial, I am pleased to assist in any way I can. I have no hesitation in recommending you guys to anyone thinking of bringing a vehicle into New Zealand.

Thanks so much guys!

Best Regards

Dear FPS

The car is now sitting safely at home in my garage. Thank you and your team so much for making this a smooth and painless process. I would definitely recommend you to anyone who wants to ship from NZ to Australia.

I have been telling people that you do a great job..

Mary and I just want to thank you guys for the great job you did shipping our car. I have been telling people that you do a great job and if they ever want a car shipped you are the guys for the job. The car drove like a dream.

Cheers…

Thank you sincerely for the HUGE efforts you went to on my behalf…

Dear staff members,

I wish to thank you sincerely for the HUGE efforts you went to on my behalf to ensure my vehicle arrived safe and sound in New Zealand.

From the Promptness and uncomplicated nature of the original quote to the regular shipping ETA updates, to the landing and HM Customs and MAF dealings through all this you were friendly, courteous and in the vernacular – bloody helpful.

I took the opportunity of looking at SEVEN separate shipping rates to NZ. Some were quite ‘weasel-like’ when one read the small print and at the opposite end of the spectrum, others were so bold in pronouncing their exorbitant rates that I almost felt offended (the choice was not solely based on cost).

Thankfully, I took FPS as my shipping company option.

Thank again
