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.

Accessible, easy to deal with, and responsive
Very hard working and efficient. The team leader in particular was excellent. Used the company because of a combination of response to initial contact (we approached three firms altogether), price, and ability to accommodate what we needed for a move from Warwickshire to Devon.
We were impressed by all of our dealings with your company throughout the process, from initial enquiry through to the move itself. Your team were accessible, easy to deal with, and responsive.
Richard EllisonThey even put our couch back together so our young kids had somewhere to sit
Ryan, Mike and the lads were fantastic. On the first day, three crew turned up and packed up the ground floor and a room upstairs in 2 hours. Due to the solicitors slowing down the completion, the lads had to hang on a bit longer but as the day was getting later two more guys joined the team giving us 6 people to unload the van and put it in to the correct rooms within the hour, they even put our couch back together so our young kids had somewhere to sit.
Couldn’t have done it without them though so I’m glad they had managed it so well on the day.
Comments regarding your initial enquiry - Ernie Humphries was straight to the point and extremely helpful in helping us to decide whether to pay for the packing service. Due to stamp duty ending, June had become a very intense and busy month so Ernie and Keeley were quick to help accommodate our needs. We couldn’t get two days together so they were able to pack on one day and load the van two days later.
Rob DewhirstReally quick and careful with our stuff both during packing and moving
Absolutely brilliant. Really quick and careful with our stuff both during packing and moving and very pleasant people. Used Bradshaws because of their ability to take out waiver if date changed and competitive price.
Initial enquiry was very easy and clear info. Consultant call back came within an hour as promised.
John BurdenThey make every aspect of moving home less stressful
The crew were fantastic I couldn't recommend them highly enough, they make every aspect of moving home less stressful.
We had previously used and had a good experience with the company.
Comments regarding your initial enquiry - We used you to move 3 years ago and Ernie was as helpful friendly and efficient as he was last time.
