Moving Guide & Tips

How to Choose the Right Removalist

Moving house is one of the most stressful life events, but choosing the right removalist can make a huge difference. Here are key factors to consider:

  • Check Reviews: Look for recent reviews on independent platforms like Google and Facebook. Pay attention to comments about punctuality and care of goods.
  • Get Multiple Quotes: Don't settle for the first price. Get at least 3 quotes to compare. Ensure they are "fixed price" quotes rather than estimates to avoid nasty surprises.
  • Verify Insurance: Ask specifically what their insurance covers. Does it cover damage during packing, transit, and unpacking?
  • Ask About Hidden Costs: Check if there are extra charges for stairs, heavy items (like pianos), or fuel levies.

Packing Tips for a Smooth Move

Good packing is essential for protecting your belongings. Use strong, double-walled boxes for heavy items like books and kitchenware. Wrap fragile items individually in bubble wrap or packing paper. Label every box with its contents and the room it belongs in to make unpacking easier.

Frequently Asked Questions

The cost of hiring a removalist in New Zealand varies depending on the size of your move and the distance. For a local move within the same city, hourly rates typically range from $120 to $180 per hour for two men and a truck. For inter-city moves, fixed quotes are more common and can range from $1,500 to $5,000+ depending on volume.
Yes, it is highly recommended. While professional movers are careful, accidents can happen. Most removal companies offer 'Carrier's Liability' insurance which has limited coverage. For full protection, consider 'All Risks' transit insurance which covers your goods for their full replacement value against damage or loss.
It's best to book your removalist at least 4-6 weeks in advance, especially if you are moving during the peak summer season (December to February) or on a weekend. Booking early ensures you get your preferred date and often a better rate.
