Typical three-bedroom Auckland ↔ Nelson move, interisland, 3–4 day window.
Moving in Nelson, planned around Nelson
Most of our Nelson work is people arriving: from Wellington on a two-to-three day window, or from Auckland on three to four. One crew loads and the same crew unloads, so nothing gets transferred through a depot in Picton and nothing goes missing between trucks.
Locally, Nelson, Richmond, Motueka and Māpua run on fixed prices. Older Nelson city homes have narrow streets and tight parking, so we check the frontage and, where needed, bring a smaller truck rather than blocking the road.
Ferry and paperwork handled
We book the Cook Strait crossing, manage the permits and give you a written delivery window before the truck leaves.
One crew end to end
No depot transfer in Picton. The people who wrap your home carry it back in at the other end.
Narrow city streets
Older Nelson city and The Wood addresses often cannot take a large truck out front. We check and downsize the vehicle where needed.
