New Zealand removals transit times
Groupage or shared load consignments usually take eight to 14 weeks door to door. This can vary depending on volumes being shipped, customs or immigration delays and prevailing weather conditions. Sole use containers usually take six to eight weeks port to port, and there is a weekly service to all major ports.
Bar Coding
All Groupage consignments will be bar coded before they are loaded into the shipping container. This will ensure that no items are left at origin.

Blew away all expectations
Blew away all expectations. They were thoughtful, helpful, hard working and provided a service above and beyond
what was expected. Dan, Rob and Gareth did a phenomenal job.
Why did you use us? Being very honest it was because they offered a fair price for the day we ended up moving on.
Do you have any additional comments or concerns regarding any portion of the service you received? As mentioned to Charlotte on the phone (who has also been exceptionally helpful every time we’ve called), we have some scuffs to the wall of the stairway. That’s no reflection of the crew at all - they handled everything very delicately, just was probably always going to happen pushing that much furniture and boxes up the stairs.
Comments regarding your initial enquiry: Perfect service and incredibly helpful.
