Hi all, just to let you know, my visa has been approved. We heard about 2 weeks ago. Happy days! Hope you all hear good news soon!

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but we applied in NZ on the 26th Nov and still nothing.. nearly 5 months on. They seem to have a huge back log! It's driving me insane!

Great - thanks for your help. I've just got in touch with Iron Lady so will wait to hear from them. Our household shipping has been a nightmare... the company 'disappeared' overnight. There is talk of them going into liquidation, but still nothing official on that. We paid upfront for shipping and insurance that never existed, so BAR had to get involved and instruct another shipping company to take over affected customers' shipments. When our stuff was collected and restored in the new shipping companies warehouse, until we're ready to ship, we were told that there were various high priced items missing completely or damaged. We have then had to pay the new company again for the shipment.. so as you can imagine a good few grand down and a much lighter and lower value shipment en route. Because of this we are a little nervous about shipping companies in general as you can imagine so are keen to do as much research as possible before we ship our car.

Hi, We are about ready to start shipping our car to Australia and I wondered if anyone had experience with Karman Shipping? We have been royally stung on the shipping company we used to ship our household belongings (thank god we decided to keep the car shipping separate!) So wanted to double check if anyone had had experience with Karman or any other good car shipping company for that matter.. Any advice or suggestions would be much appreciated!
