Taurus Logistics Christchurch. Any info?

Just been looking at a quote from Taurus Logistics for bringing the CRM over from the UK. More than twice the cost of a UK freight co but very thorough breakdown of costs & fees included.
Any KBer's have feedback on this company? I don't mind paying if it's a transparent & hassle free delivery.

I imported my V-Strom last year and got burned. I used a shipping company based in the UK as well but didnt realise that the quote excluded all the fees when it hits NZ so got stung with an extra $1100 which no one told me about. I am looking at possibly upgrading next year and I will definitely be using an NZ company if I do. make sure you have ALL of the costs on your quote.

The Taurus quote lists a raft of fees which are included in the final price. I'm guessing that's the difference between the NZ and UK quotes.

If you've already seen this, then I'll go sit in the corner; but anyway:

Might be useful as a check on what fees, etc, you've been quoted. But wait, there's more:

I thought about bringing my Beemer with me when I moved here, but considered it would be too expensive. Wish I had, now.
