    He doesn't need credibility; he has responses.

    ** Cat got your tongue Dave.

    As I'm in Auckland, I rang my contacts here and nobody
    has heard of you. Be more specific on names and I'll be
    delighted to confirm what you are saying. I was told that
    most of the staff in Christchurch would be happy to take
    advantage of a shout at a pub if it was offered. Who wouldn't.

    If you want to list your scale of charges here for all to see,
    I'll then make an effort to provide exact alternatives from
    other freight operators. If you are as genuine as you say,
    that should be no problem to you.

    I won't hold my breathe though.

    * Thinking seems not to be one of your usual traits.
    Why not just stay where you are and make us all happy.

    Most of your bikes are unroadworthy and would not pass
    our certification or warrant of fitness tests, so our roads
    are safer without you or your bikes.

    Of course the LTSA (Land Transport Safety Authority)
    could be encouraged to test all incoming bikes to ensure
    that they are in fact roadworthy before they are allowed
    on our streets. That could cost quite a lot and take a
    considerable time to pass through our system. You could
    instead have your bikes tested in Australia, immediately
    before they go into the container. I might make some
    suggestions to the LTSA on that score. Can't have
    dangerous bikes or riders on our highways.

    * No credibility do you mean "Karma"

    ** Think of me as a propspective customer eager to be certain
    I'm getting the best deal. My credibility is my ability to pay, but
    I've refused to pay too much compared with the charges of other
    freight operators that have been quoted here.

    I'm not as stupid as some who have not questioned the cost and
    paid a $600 non refundable deposit, and my suspicions were
    aroused when glitch1 made his offer as the original poster, then
    eventually stated he " knew dave."

    I've found out other better known freight companies are much
    cheaper, and I have been accused of being some other person
    or persons who presumably have unrelated issues with "routed"
    which I have no knowledge of. Disgruntled customers perhaps.

    I now know the guy who offered the "cheap" transport at the
    beginning of this thread, is himself associated with "routed"
    and in the import business, by his own statements.

    Dave or whatever his real name is, has admitted to having a
    certain relationship with employees of the freighting company
    he uses, and that he does make a good profit in his business,
    and has done so for five years. When someone challenges
    his prices he gets very abusive and defensive hiding behind
    a few mates who happen to be posters in this ng some of
    whom are customers of his, who probably don't want to
    believe thay might have been ripped.

    Sounds very shady to me.

    I wonder why he has to come to NZ to unload his own freight.
    Perhaps his business is in fact a "one man band."
    I'ts his exorbitant prices that is the issue here, not my credibility.

    * Not for those who paid $600 non refundable deposit.

    It's a bit like cancer, you put off doing something about it
    until the very last moment, hoping somebody else will do
    it for you, but eventually, well you know the rest.

    I think that you can probably assume that he's not, Nick.
    (But you never know; asking him the same question another 42 times might
    work)

  14. Both, ... in Christchurch. I have also had dealings and met the Auck
    Manager, Mark Longstaff.

    Kind regards

  15. Been away since Thursday morning heading to a Bike Rally in Western
    Victoria.
    Did you ask the Manager, Mark Longstaff?
    Tell me where I stated I would be shouting the staff in Chch.
    Have a look at my website. www.getrouted.com.au
    I did my homework on this business years ago and do refresher courses
    on an annual basis. I'm not interested in alternatives, because no one
    else ships bikes like I do.

    You could come to Chch and see me working, but I doubt you will.


    Kind regards

    You haven't a clue why all my contracts carry a $600 NON Refundable
    clause do you?
    Before Glitch became a client we had never met each other or spoken.
    He found me as all/most of my clients do - through my advertising in
    various magazines.
    Dave Milligan, unlike yoyrself who continues to hide behind the Speedy
    name, which in the eyes of most of the posters to this thread gives
    you no credibility.
    Prove my statement wrong!
    I have never said I make a good profit out of my business.

    I don't propose to go into details as to why but my business is yet to
    pay me a wage or salary. The business was developed from nothing 7
    years ago to the point where it turned over $350,000 in the past
    financial year.
    I'm hiding behind nothing. The guys here who know me have met me at
    various bike events here in Victoria and some are deposit paying
    clients who are about to discover what a great place New Zealand is on
    a bike and how well I can ship their bikes overseas.
    You can keep wondering that one. I'm not about to give you a lesson in
    why or how I run my business.
    Two actually - my wife is a partner and sometimes helps me with
    loading and unloading shipments.
    My prices are obviously OK for the clients who keep coming back and
    really that's all that matters. If they're happy to pay me an amount
    which you consider to be a rip off then that's their business.

    The longer you keep this thread going (I don't mind) the better for me
    because it's all free advertising. Not everyone will believe what I
    say (or what you say, for that matter) but since this thread started I
    have had (as a direct result of this thread) 4 potential clients who
    are asking for more info on my NZ shipping service and 2 who want more
    info on my Isle of Man TT Tour which involves shipping bikes from
    Australia to the UK.

    All those enquiries came in by email over the weekend while I was away
    at the Fish Holes Rally. I have since spoken to 3 of them and there
    are two definite clients there so far. All have received the info
    they asked for so it will be interesting to see how many more of them
    become clients.

    Kind regards

  17. Bollocks. All you've done is hide behind Speedy.
    NZ Express are not interested in shipping bikes from Australia to New
    Zealand.

    Their business is NZ based shipping freight for Kiwis overseas.

    If Kiwis want to get their bikes shippied overseas they could do worse
    than ask NZE.....but even NZE can't/don't do it as good as I do - why
    don't you ring their Logistics Manager, Tony Marriot and ask him.

    Kind regards

    You know this to be fact, Speedy??

    Again you're talking shit.
    Wonder if the Minister of Tourism would approve of your efforts to
    bring the tourists to NZ.
    LTSA are not involved in this issue other that to provide a regulation
    to the effect that all vehicles coming into NZ MUST have a WoF test to
    be legal on the NZ roads. The WoF testing not done by LTSA.
    You know how much a WoF costs. I advise all my clients to have their
    bikes in roadworthy condition before they deliver them to me for
    loading at this end.
    So you've got some mates in LTSA, have you?

    Who are they?

    Kind regards
