Wellington movers who plan for the hills before move day
Wellington is the one city where access decides the price. Steps, funiculars, one-way streets and southerlies all get planned in before we quote.

Moving in Wellington, planned around Wellington
A three-bedroom in Karori loads like any other house. The same house in Brooklyn with 60 steps and no truck parking is a completely different job, and pretending otherwise is how people end up with a bill that doubles. We ask for a photo of the approach and quote the real job.
Wellington is also our interisland hub. Moves to Nelson, Christchurch and the deep south cross Cook Strait with the same crew loading and unloading — we book the ferry, handle the permits and give you a written delivery window.
Steps, funiculars and long carries
We count the steps at quote time and crew for them. A photo of the approach is worth more than any phone description.
Te Aro apartment moves
Lift bookings, loading zones and time-limited parking are arranged with building management before the day.
Interisland from the capital
Ferry bookings, permits and a written delivery window are all handled by us. The crew that loads is the crew that unloads.

Wellington moving FAQs
Do you charge extra for Wellington steps?
There is no per-step surcharge, but steps change the crew size and the hours, so they change the quote. Telling us up front is what keeps the quote accurate.
How much is an Auckland to Wellington move?
A three-bedroom household is a fixed price from about $2,250 with a one-to-two day delivery window. The figure is binding once your inventory is confirmed.
Can you move me to the South Island?
Yes. We book the Cook Strait ferry, handle the paperwork and keep the same crew on both ends, with a written delivery window for Nelson, Christchurch and further south.
What happens if a southerly hits on move day?
We keep moving with extra wrap and floor runners. We only reschedule when a weather warning closes roads or makes the ferry unsafe, and there is no fee to move the date in that case.
