New Zealand Removals FAQ Guide & Moving Checklist

How much do removals to New Zealand from the UK cost?

The cost of removals to New Zealand varies greatly depending on the quantity you are taking and where in New Zealand you are moving to. The good news is that, as so many people move from the UK to New Zealand, the cost of removals is cost-effective, especially in popular areas to live in New Zealand such as Auckland, Wellington, Dunedin, Christchurch, Queenstown, Tauranga and Nelson.

The cheapest removals to New Zealand are by sea and costs per cubic feet decrease significantly as volume increases. You’ll certainly find that it is a lot cheaper to use our furniture removals service than to replace your personal effects when you arrive in New Zealand.

International Removal Service for New Zealand

At Simpsons, we provide a variety of overseas removals services to meet your needs. Do not worry if you are unsure about which is most suitable for you as our advisers will be happy to talk you through the different options.

Full Household Overseas Removals Service

For full household removal of a 3 or 4-bedroom house, we would usually recommend a full container for your sole use. These usually come in two sizes –20ft and 40ft.

We will pack the container at your house and it will be secured and customs sealed before heading off to the port.

Shared Container (Part Load) Overseas Removals Service

For smaller moves with furniture, boxes and other items, the most cost-effective option is our shared container service, sometimes called part load. In this case, we pack your belongings at your home and take them to one of our depots where they will be loaded into a container with other customers’ belongings heading for the same part of New Zealand.

This is a cheap option for removals to New Zealand as the costs are shared proportionally.

New Zealand Box and Bag Removal Service

For small moves to New Zealand, we recommend our box and bag removal service. This is the cheapest way to move your belongings to New Zealand. We provide you with export-quality cartons boxes and packing materials.

We then collect your packed boxes and transport them to New Zealand by air or sea freight depending on your preference and budget.

New Zealand International Removals

As New Zealanders drive on the left side of the road, it could be well worth your while taking your car with you to New Zealand – especially if it’s a new, luxury or classic model.

It is often cost-effective to send your car in the same container as your house removal so that everything arrives at the same time.

There are some import requirements you need to be aware of before you send your car to New Zealand. We suggest you contact our team to discuss the process.

Although Simpsons will take care of all the details they can for you, this convenient checklist will make preparing for the move as simple and worry-free as possible.

Moving out: Before the removal men arrive, be clear about what they are contracted to do and what you are expected to do. If in doubt, ask the surveyor or a member of our staff. Ordinarily, both householder and the removal men have fairly defined responsibilities (though a measure of flexibility on both sides is of course desirable)

Children: Children, who are naturally curious and can easily get in the way, may potentially be injured. The younger ones are best left with a neighbour or friend until it is time to leave.

Swings/Climbing frames: Generally dismantling these is one job you will do yourself, but be careful not to lose the bolts. If you wish us to arrange to dismantle please discuss this with our surveyor

Garage/Shed: Tie together garden tools, and prepare items to be lifted straight onto the vehicle.

Self-assembly furniture: If you have any furniture of the home assembly type particularly if made of chipboard, please note that we recommend dismantling units before the move, as the joints are seldom strong enough to survive even careful handling if the furniture is moved whilst still assembled.

Washing machines: Secure your washing machine drum, and disconnect from water supply and electric.

Books: Books are very heavy, use our book cartons as they are smaller and easier to manage.

China & glass: Wrap each item individually in packing paper or bubble wrap, packing the heavier items first with lighter pieces on top. Remember that plates and dishes are packed vertically and not laid flat.

Moving in: Make sure that you (or some other responsible person) is on hand to admit the removal men. If no-one is there and a reasonable waiting time expires, you could find yourself landed with storage and re-delivery charges. Enquire how long the vehicle will wait should you be inadvertently delayed on the way. It can also save time and confusion if you stand at the entrance and specify the location of each item as it is carried in.

Helping the move along: If you follow the guidelines suggested on this page you will find the removal men themselves responding to your good sense with extra efficiency and relaxed good humour. You can also help the move along by remembering to pack the kettle last. A cup of tea all round is a gesture always much appreciated.

Tipping: There is, of course, no obligation to tip the men, but, as with all personal services, people like to reward extra attention, willing good humour or a job well done. If you feel that a reward has been earned, the driver or packer in charge will distribute any gratuity given amongst the crew.
