What we move

One team for the whole move.

A one-bedroom flat or a five-bedroom house — same care either way.

Full house moves

Two, three, four bedrooms or more. Everything wrapped and secured before it leaves the driveway.

Flats & apartments

Stairs, lifts and tight access are part of the job, not a surprise on the morning.

Packing

All of it, or just the kitchen and the fragile stuff. Most people split it that way.

Storage

Settlement dates rarely line up. We hold your things in Christchurch or Dunedin for as long as you need.
Our fleet

Our own trucks and our own crews — never subcontracted.

Why us

The same crew, from the first call to the last box.

Packing, moving and storage handled by the same people — so nobody ever tells you that part is not theirs.

You’re not buying a lead

Quote sites sell your number to five companies and let them fight over you. Here you book the crew that turns up. One number, one team, one price.

Carpet-lined trucks

Not a bare metal deck with a blanket thrown over the top. Your furniture is protected the whole way.

Someone always picks up

Seven days, 7am to 7pm. When moving day changes, you talk to someone local who can actually fix it.

Our work

Real moves, real crews.

Straight from our Facebook page — the day-to-day, not a photoshoot.

Questions

Before you call.

How much does a move cost?
It depends on how much you're moving and how far. Local moves start from $195/hr for a truck and two movers; longer moves are priced by volume. Give us the basics and we'll come back with a clear number.
How far ahead should I book?
Fridays and Saturdays fill up first, because that's when most settlements happen. Midweek is usually easier if you have any flexibility at all.
Do you do the packing?
Yes — everything, or just the parts you'd rather not deal with. Splitting it is common and perfectly fine.
Can you store things if the dates don't line up?
Yes. Storage in Christchurch and Dunedin, short or long term. It is one of the most common things we are asked.
Do you work weekends?
Seven days, 7am to 7pm — and outside those hours for larger or long-distance moves.

Got a date in mind?

Thirty seconds now, a clear price back from a real person.
