Unpacking Tips

Top Five Unpacking Hacks

Moving house is super exciting for most people, but there’s one part of the process that a lot of us dread: unpacking. You’ve got all this stuff to unpack…

wellington moving company reviews

We highly recommend NZVL for moving and storage. The crew packing our items in Wellington (Paul and Jan and Dayna as well as manager Johnny Johnston) did a great job. Johnny then made sure our items were well cared for in storage for almost 4 years in NZVL's Seaview warehouse. The Manawatu moving and unloading crew, Dave, Zack, Latrell, George, and Palmy manager Cedric (Cedric actually joined in to do a lot of the heavy lifting!) recently did a fantastic job of unloading 2 large hi-cube containers. We're still unpacking some cartons but so far nothing was broken or damaged. The crews were very polite and considerate and took extra care to not soil brand new carpeting during torrential downpours. Well done guys!!!! We highly recommend NZVL for storage and moving at a reasonable and competitive price!

Jono

We had NZ Van Lines move us from Wellington to Taranaki and we could not fault the service. From the time of getting a quote to job finish (including collecting all empty boxes and paper packaging); all NZ Van Lines staff were professional, cared about what they were doing, fun to work with - exemplary service.

We highly recommend using this company if you are moving.

Trish

Wellington branch NZ Van Lines were excellent. From dealing with office staff who managed customs and MPI paperwork. Through to delivery of household goods. And the collection of packaging after unpacking.

Robert

We used Van Lines for a move from the Kapiti Coast to Ashburton in June. Price per cube was at a good rate. Dealing with Tracy and Jim was very Professional, very good communication and always replied when they said they would. Pick up and delivery on the allocated dates and timing was spot on. Packing crew and delivery crew were also very careful, friendly and obliging. We would highly recommend Van Lines to anyone on the move.

YOUR MOVING QUESTIONS ANSWERED

We have a selection of frequently asked questions and tips to help you better understand the moving process

You should give us as much notice as possible, especially if you are moving in the holiday seasons. As a rule of thumb, you should call about an International Move 2-3 months before the moving out date, 6-8 weeks for an Inter-Island Move and 4-6 weeks for a Domestic or Local Move. In some circumstances this isn’t possible, we will work in with you at short notice if necessary. Call our friendly team on: 0800 362 236

All you need to do is call us or submit an online form and we will arrange an obligation free quotation. You will be asked some specific questions to establish your circumstances and timing. For a small shipment we can use this information to provide an instant quotation. For larger or more complex relocations we will make an appointment for one of our Moving Consultant’s to either visit you at home or conduct a WIFI virtual meeting. All you will need is your smartphone or tablet. In addition to discussing your moving needs our Moving Consultant will be visually surveying the items you are moving.

Following this, an obligation free quotation will be prepared and forwarded for your consideration. Depending on the complexity of your move this can take anywhere from an hour to several days. We will include insurance costs in all quotations. After receiving your acceptance, we will set up the move plan and book in your logistics with the operations team. Our Move Manager(s) will keep you updated and assist with any final documentation, right up to your move day.

New Zealand Van Lines has the BIGGEST and most modern fleet on the road!
 
We specialise in super-sized international and long-distance moves. Our trucks and B-train container configurations can hold up to three full house loads in one journey.
 
We are committed to an environmentally sustainable future and have initiated an aggressive fleet upgrade by replacing 25 trucks with new clean burning units. The new trucks meet EURO 6 environmental regulations. EURO 6 technology has a rigorous focus on environmental conservation, effectiveness, and performance.

This is depending on the volume and the distance of your relocation. For a local move you can expect the process to take a few days, inter-city moves can take anywhere from a few days to a few weeks again dependent on the distance of your move. International moves can take from six weeks.

We strongly recommend you take out transit insurance cover for your relocation. VERO underwrites our protection plans. They are specific to the industry, providing full ‘end to end’ protection against the risks associated with moving house.
 
Having insurance protection will help you sleep at night, until everything is safely delivered. Accidents, unforeseen weather conditions, poor road conditions and risk events can occur at anytime, even with the most careful of moving companies.
 
When moving internationally, there are additional risks. After your goods are packed they will be passing into the hands of other organisations including rail and shipping companies, airlines, handling agents and customs and quarantine officials.
Our crews are professionally trained, having years of experience in safely packing, stowing, storing, and moving your household goods. Basically, we will pack everything using materials that are specifically designed for your household effects.
 
For international moves everything (including furniture) will be fully wrapped. For local and domestic moves we internationally wrap stainless-steel and whiteware appliances and have heavy duty plastic covering for beds and lounge suites. Other specialised materials include tuff wrap for wooden furniture, pictures and fragiles, bike cartons, television cartons, picture cartons and hanging wardrobe cartons. If items require specialised crating this can be organised by special arrangement.
Costs depend on the size of your move, distance, and services required. Contact us for a free quote.
