SHIPMENTS
All shipments are subject to full containers, so book early to avoid missing out. Get Routed NZ reserves the right to ask bike owners to send their bike to another loading departure point (at the owners expense) if a viable shipment (minimum 10 bikes) is not reached from the preferred loading port.
SHIPPING
Please understand we don’t control the worlds shipping movements and shit can happen. We try our best to have your bike where and when you want it, but sometimes weather and slow or over burdened shipping companies can ruin our best efforts. Doesn’t happen very often, but it pisses us off and it will have that effect on you as well. We take all precautions to avoid it.
RETURN PRICES
Our prices are determined by the amount of floor space each bike takes up. We are able to load 20 Standard size bikes (most sport & sport touring bikes are shorter than 2.30 metres) into a container, so the bigger the bikes are, the less bikes we can load into each container.
Bikes up to 2.30 metres long (Standard Size) $2475.00
covers most bikes GST is not included because there’s no GST on overseas freight
Yes, that’s 2.30 metres long overall. No pack racks poking out or Top Boxes or Top Box mounting plates. That is the overall dimension and if your bike is longer than 2.30 metres long it moves to the Long bike category unless you can shorten it by removing Pack Racks or Top Boxes – we do NOT mess with your bike. Reducing its length is entirely up to you.
LONG BIKES – i.e. bikes over 2.30 metres long $4485.00 return
PLEASE NOTE: A container is 2.30 metres wide and because we place the bikes across the width bikes longer than 2.30m attract a higher price because we can only place them lengthways in the container therefore reducing the number of bikes in the container..

Bikes up to 2.30 metres long $1897 All other 2 wheel bikes $2755. Wof & Rego & Compliancing NOT included
Trikes, Sidecar outfits and 4 wheelers – quoted on measurements. For all One Way shipments, FULL PAYMENT is required at the time of booking.

Here is just a snapshot of the mischief you could be getting up to.
Located in the picturesque alpine village of Hanmer Springs, North Canterbury which is renowned for its natural hot pools and stunning landscapes. Hanmer Springs is located 90 minutes drive from Christchurch and is at the gateway to some of the best riding roads in the South Island.
“It was great to have the R1150RT shipped to & from NZ unmarked with your assistance greatly appreciated. The NZ tour was fantastic, the roads better than any world wide (this couple have seen more than most) – meals 100% – locals most helpful”.
Dave, Picked up my bike today from WSI and this prompted me to write you a short note thanking you for the professionalism in freighting my bike to NZ and return. The bike was returned in excellent condition and the trip was absolutely bloody fabulous. Without your service, I would never have experienced the sheer pleasure of riding in “bikers paradise” for almost 5 weeks. I wish you all the success in the future, especially with the Isle of Man consignment this year. Dave, once again thank you and I will certainly be singing your praises. Regards, Keith Brill
“Having previously had the experience of organising the shipping of our BMW motorcycle to the UK and return ourselves, we know what was involved in the procedure. Using the facilities of Dave & Maggie took all the hassle out of these arrangements, making our recent (Feb 2002) New Zealand trip one of the best holidays we have ever experienced. We highly recommend your services and hope to do another trip with you in the near future. We would be quite happy to talk to anyone contemplating one of your trips if they need the encouragement”.
Dave ,just confirming with you that Roger Keane & myself picked our bikes up from Botany today, Wed 14th,at 10am. We thank you for your service and attention to detail, as it made our NZ visit hassle free. I guess you had your problems arranging the new depot in Botany, but we could not speak more highly of the staff, ease of getting there, and facilities, compared with the Homebush bay depot. All the best for the future and thanks again for a job well done.
Dear Dave and Maggie,
I picked the bike up today from Sydney.
This is just a short note to say THANKYOU to you both and Andrew for giving Janice and I a hassle-free holiday of a lifetime. It was so good; we’ll do it again in the not too distant future. Maybe NZ.
Looking forward to seeing you at a show sometime soon.
Mick and Janice.
