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.

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.

How are our appointments carried out
In the current times you might prefer that we don't visit your house in person to carry out a survey. This is fully understandable and we can just as easily undertake the survey by video call, using whatever method you're comfortable with, usually FaceTime or WhatsApp.

Extremely hardworking, very friendly and resolved several problems along the way.
Made us very comfortable that we were in the hands of a competent crew.

Competitive quote (though not the cheapest), impressed with the initial discussions at the 'virtual' survey stage, and had more confidence that you would cope with the difficult access situation and the volume and nature of my belongings than the other firms I asked to quote

I would also want to thank you and your team for arranging the move for us. Moving house is really stressful and you make it as smooth and stress-free as possible.
We are very happy with the service and I would appreciate, if you could pass our thanks to Tom, Nick and Tony for all their help.
Kind regards,
Magda
