Frequently Asked Questions
Lets face it all shipping services are not equal. As with most things in life, experience teaches you that quality of care and customer service can vary quite a bit, so what do you do? Even more daunting is the fact that this may be the first time you have shipped a vehicle from abroad. So, do you trust the shipper you are about to use is one of the better ones? Or look a little closer and make sure it’s one of the very best. Looking, in fact beneath the surface is clearly worth the effort and will not take long. In fact, if you like you can start right now.
Q. Worried about legitimacy of the caravan you are looking to purchase?
We have multiple contacts in the UK. We can put you in touch with people who can inspect the vans and check them over for legitimacy.
Q. Can I load other items in my caravan?
Yes, but these must be declared and appropriate receipts must be supplied.
Q. Can you arrange insurance?
Yes, we offer full cover on all caravans and accessories.
Q. Can I load any gas bottles into the caravan?
Unfortunately not. All hazardous materials, explosives, corrosive or flammable items cannot be shipped with caravans.
Q. Can you ship 5th wheel trailers from the USA?
Yes. We have numerous methods and systems depending on which part of the USA your 5th wheel is purchased from.
Caravan & Parts Sourcing
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 F.P.S as my shipping company option. Exceptional is an underestimation.
I’d just to say to that the shipping of my new caravan couldn’t have been better organised. The important thing is that the communication line was always open, you guys were always cooperative, it was a pleasure doing business with you. I have no hesitation in recommending you guys to anyone thinking of bringing a vehicle into
New Zealand
I personally witnessed the way the vehicles 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 they had arrived in NZ. The entire process was incredibly quick and
painless.
