The Ariane 5 launches from South America. The rocket and the payload are shipped from Europe to French Guiana.

Yeah, but that's because there isn't a suitable launch site in France or elsewhere on the European continent. Rocket Lab do have launch sites in the USA, so why go to all the trouble of shipping everything to New Zealand?

I'm reasonably certain the Ariane rockets are not shipped in final form to South America: https://www.esa.int/Science_Exploration/Space_Science/Rosett...
