Will we still be classed as 'New Migrants' if we decide to spend say four or six months on the road and then ship the gear?

That would be where the 2-year limit would come in handy, if we can only verify it. You?d have time in hand then to complete your wanderings before your shipment arrives.
You could always leave your container in storage with your shippers in the UK and call for it when you?re ready. Some of the containers are kept in warehouses, like with
White and Co. as an example, so it?d be worth asking what conditions it would be stored in. I think, on average, it can take about 2 months from UK to NZ to give you some idea of timescale.
My concern was that your vehicle and your container wouldn?t be arriving around the same time, so I wasn?t sure whether they?d be classed as part of the same ?shipment?. Perhaps that doesn?t matter in the case of a vehicle, as what I?d read was relating to people who might want to take a second load of stuff into NZ at a later date.
Let?s hope someone can throw some light on it. Meanwhile I?ll have a dig around in my various links.
