Great service on a challenging shipping task.

We shipped a large boat and trailer from Canada to Australia (via Europe).
There was a prolonged (5month) hold-up enroute that was not the fault of Taurus. Nevertheless the staff did everything they could to keep us informed, arrange for photos and answer all concerns we had. We cannot speak highly enough of the professionalism and willingness to do everything in their power to get the load safely delivered.

Professional and Focused Customer Services

I would like to sincerely thank Barbara Redway and Nathaly Espinoza from Taurus Logistics for their outstanding service. From the very beginning, their communication was clear, timely, and highly professional, which made the entire process smooth and stress-free.

They demonstrated excellent customer service by being responsive, supportive, and attentive to every detail. What truly stood out was their willingness to guide and assist at every step, ensuring everything was handled efficiently.

Their pricing was also very fair and transparent, which gave us great confidence in choosing Taurus Logistics. It’s rare to find a team that combines professionalism, reliability, and genuine care for their customers.

I highly recommend Barbara and Nathaly to anyone looking for dependable logistics support.

Thank you, Taurus, and your team for your exceptional service!

Amazing Customer Experience

Whether it was Barbara in NZ or Sugandi in Melbourne, the Taurus staff were amazing. They kept me informed the whole way. Barbara came up with a solution when the ship my car was booked on decided to bypass NZ and Sugandi understood the issues I was having with my bank having just moved back to Australia.
I highly recommend Taurus.

Used Taurus Logistics NZ to ship my CRX from NZ to Australia and couldn't be happier. Barbara Redway was extremely helpful, assuring, and incredibly responsive throughout the entire process. She made what could have been a stressful experience feel very smooth. If I ever need to import a car again, I’ll definitely be using them. Highly recommended!

Review

EDITED AFTER RESPONSE.
you were not in contact with us a few times a day. Josh had to escalate to you Richard and HE called you! Our feedback in 100% accurate no need to explain more.

Review: Poor communication, currency and unprofessional conduct
Rating: ⭐

While our experience with Taurus Logistics started well in NZ, it deteriorated completely once the boat reached Australia.

The main issues:

Zero Proactive Communication: Once the boat landed, it was total radio silence. We had to constantly chase the Australian team for every single update. They either didn't understand the Australian customs process or simply didn't care to follow up.

Pricing & "Extra costs ": Check your line breakdowns carefully. We were also quoted in NZD but charged in AUD, Hmmmm Other reviews suggest this is a recurring pattern.

Unprofessional Conduct: We were accidentally CC'd into an internal email where our move manager (Sugandi) described us as "not easy to deal with" to the port. This was incredibly unprofessional given we were simply trying to get the information they failed to provide.

Contrast: We moved our furniture and our dog through Crown Relocations at the same time; they were professional, respectful, and proactive—the exact opposite of our experience here.

Recommendation: Look elsewhere! Or be prepared to do all the follow-up work yourself.

Hi Helen & Josh,
Thanks for your feedback.
We have had our own office in Australia since 2011, and 100% know the Customs requirements. I’m afraid I disagree with your comments on additional costs. The additional costs were the import GST, which was explained to you prior to shipping, and storage, which was because of your boat failing quarantine. Both these are well explained in advance of your booking.
Yes, we billed you on one invoice in AUD, but the charges were still the NZD amounts just converted to AUD. So there was no additional cost.
Helen, sorry you felt our level of service was poor, but I was personally talking with you and Josh several times a day while it was going through the clearance in Australia.
Regards Richard

In New Zealand

In New Zealand, Taurus’s communication was generally good. For most of my queries, I received swift responses. However, there were several issues that left me dissatisfied. The dates for dropping the car at the port were changed multiple times, which resulted in me having to pay daily storage charges for almost a week. In addition, the quote I received in New Zealand was not complete, as some items were missing from the original list.

My experience with Taurus in Australia was more disappointing. Communication did not meet expectations, and I was required to pay additional charges for items that were not included in the original quote. Although Taurus arranged for the car to be dropped at the garage, no one informed me about the car’s arrival. After waiting four days without any update, I had to contact Taurus myself to find out where my car was. Overall, it took approximately seven weeks for my car to be transported from Auckland to Sydney, which was longer than expected.

Hi Murugan,
Thanks for your feedback and sorry to hear you were not 100% happy.

Unfortunatly vessels can be delayed due to congestion, weather or mechanical issues; it's just something out of our control, I'm afraid.

In regard to charges not on your quote, I'll email you directly to understand what you are refereing too, as I have reviewed the invoices and they look correct to me. Anyway, I'll sort that with you.
Thanks Richard

Very professional outfit

Very professional outfit. Communication was very prompt and any change to shipping schedule notified to us immediately. Importunately the companies they worked with in overseas ports were equally efficient.
Our overlanding trip with 2 vehicles to Europe and Africa was made so stress free I would have no hesitation on using them again.
