We’re a New Zealand family-owned company that’s been making it easy for people to transport almost anything, to almost anywhere, for 30 years.

Global Logistics provided by a team that cares

Family Owned

We provide all the services you’d expect and a few more, but it’s how we work that really sets us apart.

Whatever you entrust to us to send by sea, air or courier - heavy machinery, fresh produce, household effects or your precious pet - we treat it as our own.

We also treat you as we’d like to be treated. Whether we’re working for you professionally or personally, and regardless of the value and size of your consignment, you’ll always receive the same high level of service.

You’ll talk to real people who care, know how important your delivery is to you and understand that we’re all operating in difficult times.

You’re in safe hands when you ship with us

Safe Hands

Meet the Omega dream team. We will do everything we can, calmly and efficiently, to get your goods to their destination safely and on time.

Our six in-house customs brokers, several of whom have had over 40 years in the business, love simplifying the process for you.

They also love a challenge and there are plenty of those right now with space in short supply, holdups possible, and regulations constantly changing.

It’s very reassuring to have a team on board that will find solutions when issues arise, can handle the formalities and will keep you informed without you even having to ask.

Customer Testimonials

Don't just take our word for how we deliver, take theirs.

Zone Architectural Products

Richard Webb | Owner/Director

I’ve been dealing with Omega virtually every week for nearly 30 years, initially for our US imports, and today for our shipments from numerous countries into New Zealand and Australia.

The level of service and initiative have always been of the highest standard, recently demonstrated by the successful completion of the new Amazon Distribution Centre in Sydney.

Over 100 40ft containers were delivered over a nine-month period ex USA despite unprecedented levels of disruption to shipping services.

Special Children’s Christmas Parties Ltd

Mark Wikstrom | NZ Operations Manager

Getting Christmas gifts and party packs to children with special needs or who face challenging health or life circumstances on time is vital for us and for them.

We can’t thank you enough for help with the containers, transport and customs requirements. You’ve been nothing short of outstanding. It made our job way easier and, honestly, we couldn’t have done it without you.

This year was the trickiest by far with stuff all over the show, delays, and re-routing necessary, but with your help we nailed it!

Baby Factory (NZ) Limited

Warren Lowe | Company Director

We have used Omega Global Logistics for customs brokerage for over 30 years.

We’ve remained loyal because we value their prompt personal service, friendly approach and trust them to get things done quickly and efficiently.

Nothing is a problem and their advice is always good as they have huge experience in freight forwarding and logistics. I would definitely recommend their services to anyone.

Our beginnings

Omega Customs and Forwarding Ltd was established in 1993, operating mainly as a customs brokerage. In the early stages, my father, also a customs agent, supplemented our family’s income by managing our mobile food caravan in the Airport Oaks area.
