Why choose FPS? |
Choosing a safe and reliable caravan shipping
service can be time consuming, frustrating and
incredibly expensive. It's also unnecessary. We
have imported over 3,000 vehicles from the UK,
the USA, Australia and all over the world. With the
help of our specialist caravan shipping experts
you'll avoid all those common importing mistakes
and pitfalls, and save yourself $$$ in the process.
Our new enhanced service with better
communications results in a shipping service at
an altogether higher level, an affordable level that
you'll only find at FPS.
There is a compelling reason why we have
become such a successful caravan shipper. It's
our people. As well as our New Zealand HQ over
400 dedicated staff work for FS Mackenzie Ltd, our
agents at the UK end of our organisation. Our
specialist caravan loaders are able to accommodate
2 caravans in one 40ft high cube container. They
follow a standard of integrity and service we call
"intensive caravan caring." A commitment to exceed
expectations. We are convinced that intensive
caring is the reason for our consistent growth. |

A Hassle-Free Service |
When you have found the caravan that best suits
you, simply call us. FS MacKenzie, our partners in
the United Kingdom, will arrange collection and
transportation to their depot. Dedicated staff at FS
MacKenzie will prepare the caravan for shipment,
which includes:
- Removal of some external components
- Securing of the moveable items internally
- Protecting the windows
- Protecting the outer edges
The unit is then loaded into the container by a
unique system called 'Ship-a-Caravan.' Prior to
arrival in New Zealand, Famous Pacific Shipping
will manage the customs formalities and assist with
the lodging of the entry, collection of GST and Duty
on behalf of New Zealand Customs (duty is currently
5%) as at Jan 01 2013.
Famous Pacific Shipping staff will carefully remove
the unit from the container and remove pre-shipment
protection.
The caravan will then clear MAF under our
care. This will probably include cleaning in our
specialist cleaning facility. |

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 can provide certification CRIS reports of
Caravan History, GBP 35.00 per caravan. Please
contact us for details.
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.

USA?
Yes. We have numerous methods and systems
depending on which part of the USA your 5th wheel
is purchased from. |
