"Morning Brent,
I want to thank you VERY VERY much you, have been ABSOLUTELY great and nothing was EVER a bother or a drama. It couldn't have been easier. I must say without u I probably would've just flagged it, so it’s your fault I now have a very expensive 1953 chev truck haha. I will definitely be sending you some pic’s of some cruisie trips around the south and maybe even venture up your way one day.
You have been amazing and I just want to thank you again m8…… SO VERY GRATEFUL !!!!!!!!!!!"

“I found my dream car, a 2012 Mustang Big Boss and I just had to get it back to NZ. Fast! Obviously I wanted a shipping company that had meticulous processes in place and meticulous attention to detail. McCullough over-delivered. They picked my Big Boss up immediately, packed it in a container and had it sailing within 7 days. Once it hit the Auckland port, it was cleared in 3 days and safely nestled in my garage within 5 days. Not a scratch nor a day wasted. Not even any additional fees. Their whole process was professional and perfect. A first-class act.”
