Common questions

How much does it cost to hire movers in Auckland?
Most local moves start from around $350 excl. GST for smaller jobs. A full house move is quoted after a free in-home viewing and depends on volume, distance, crew size, and add-ons like packing or cleaning.
What is the process for booking?
Yes, we start with a free viewing or clear phone quote. Once we have seen access, volume, and timing, you receive a written price and we lock your move date.
How long will a typical move take?
A standard 2–3 bedroom local move usually takes one day on site. Packing is often scheduled the day before; we confirm hours and crew size when we quote.
How far in advance should I book my move?
Two weeks ahead is ideal, especially for weekends and month-end. We can often help sooner, call (021) 228 2728 and we will check the next available crew.
Do you provide packing services?
Yes. Professional packing is available the day before your move, priced by bedroom count. We supply cartons, wrap, and a dedicated packing crew.
How do you protect furniture during the move?
Every load uses moving blankets, wrap, and mattress covers as standard. Fragile items are boxed or crated; pianos and high-value pieces get specialist padding and securing.
What areas do you cover?
Daily coverage across Auckland and Hamilton, plus Waikato towns and regional North Island routes. Mixed Auckland–Waikato or very long routes are quoted individually upfront.
Do you offer furniture disassembly and reassembly?
Yes. Beds, dining tables, and modular office furniture are disassembled for safe transport and reassembled at delivery when needed.
