Have questions about your move? Look at our common questions below! You might find your answer fast.
01.
For moves between cities or islands, it's best to book further in advance than a local move because more planning is involved. We recommend contacting us at least 4 to 8 weeks before your desired moving date. If you plan to move during busy times (like summer holidays or the end of the month), booking even earlier is a good idea to secure your preferred dates. The sooner you contact us, the better we can plan and accommodate your schedule.
02.
The cost of moving between cities or islands depends on a few main things:
03.
Yes, we have insurance options available to protect your belongings during transit. Standard carrier liability offers basic coverage as required by law, but may be limited. We also offer options for more comprehensive transit insurance for greater peace of mind. 1 We will discuss the different insurance choices and coverage levels with you during the quoting process so you can choose what's best for your needs.
04.
The time it takes for your belongings to arrive on an inter-island move can vary. It depends on the specific locations (e.g., moving from Auckland to Christchurch takes longer than Wellington to Picton), ferry schedules, road travel time, and the specific moving plan we arrange with you. Typically, it might take anywhere from a few days up to a week or so. When we plan your move, we will give you a clear estimated delivery timeframe based on your route and schedule.
We will help you with all your moving and reservation questions.
