From the back room to the front window
Stock
Boxed and labelled by section or aisle, loaded in order and unloaded to match the layout of the new store.
Fixtures and fittings
Gondola shelving, clothing racks, counters, glass display cabinets, fridges and freezers. If it comes apart, the crew takes it apart and rebuilds it at the new shop.
Signage and displays
Freestanding signs, sandwich boards, window displays and mannequins, wrapped for the trip. Anything bolted to the building needs a signwriter to take down and reinstall, and we move it between the sites.
Back of house
Office desks, storeroom racking and stock coming from a warehouse or storage unit.
Shop move rates
1 mover + truck
$135/hr
($117.39 + GST). Stock top-ups, single fixtures and deliveries between stores.
Book a site visitPrices shown include GST. Your invoice shows GST separately so you can claim it back. Shop moves are quoted after a free site visit. After-hours and weekend work is charged at the same hourly rate.
Mall rules, loading hours and glass cabinets
Shopping centre rules
Queensgate in Lower Hutt, North City in Porirua and Coastlands in Paraparaumu set their own move-in times, dock bookings and paperwork. Centre management approval can take a few days, so ask early.
Street access
Cuba Mall is pedestrian only, and Wellington City Council limits vehicle access to set delivery hours. Check the current times with the council before you pick your moving slot. Shops on Lambton Quay, Courtenay Place and Jackson Street in Petone rely on busy loading zones.
Fragile fixtures
Glass cabinets, mirrors and lit displays take longer to wrap and load.
Stock volume
A boutique with 40 cartons moves faster than a hardware store with 400. Pack and label stock before the crew arrives to cut the hours.
Timing
Moving after closing or on a Sunday keeps you trading, and costs the same hourly rate as a weekday.
Your shop move in three steps
Site visit
Dan checks both premises, the loading access and your fixture list, and asks when you plan to close and reopen.
Quote and plan
A written quote, the move window and a labelling system matched to the new store layout.
Move and set up
The crew moves the fixtures first, then the stock by section, so your team can restock the shelves the next morning.

5.0 out of 5 stars
We enlisted the services of Dan and his Team for our shift from storage in Palmerston North to present our property prior to going on the market in Belmont, Lower Hutt We could not praise Relocationz more highly . The shift included very fragile items and also extremely heavy items accumulated from five generational properties. We personally found the prospect of getting our 'treasures' out of storage after 10 years particularly daunting, however the "Relocationz" Team didn't blink an eyelid. They arrived in Palmerston North at 10am and the furniture had been placed in the double storied house in Lower Hutt by the end of the day. We also called on Dan and his team member to assist with reloading and stacking our container after various items had been re-packed. They also offered to take items to the Salvation Army for us, which we were hugely appreciative of as we were under a particularly tight time-frame. The property has since successfully sold and we will once again enlist the services of Dan and his Team with regard to vacant possession prior to settlement. Thank you Dan and the Team at 'Relocationz' Megan and Richard Lower Hutt

WOW!! Much deserved 5 stars. Dan and his team are prompt, have very clear communication and overall hard workers. I would recommend these guys over anyone else, if you want the job done properly and efficiently with no hassle, hire them. Moved an entire house just over 2 hours.

Update 06.09.26- I have used Relocationz ltd for my 3rd move and they were great yet again! I’ve used Relocationz for both my moves now and they’ve been great each time! Speedy and reliable, a great service. The second move was done a steep zig zag path and they were so helpful and managed it without a problem! I’ve recommended them to friends and will definitely use them again when I next move. Dan and David were friendly and had great communication too!

5 stars isn’t enough! Absolutely incredible service. I am so grateful to have found such a trustworthy, efficient and even affordable moving company. It was relatively short notice too and they fit me in. They smashed the job, quickly and safely. They were kind, easygoing and professional! Thank you so much, Dan, for moving my house. Would recommend you in a heartbeat!

Shop moving questions
Can you move our shop without closing during trading hours?
Yes, in most cases. The crew moves after closing time or across a weekend, so you shut the old shop on Saturday afternoon and open the new one when the stock is back on the shelves. Dan plans the move window with you at the free site visit, and there is no after-hours surcharge.
Do you take apart and rebuild shelving?
Yes. The crew dismantles anything that can come apart, gondola shelving and racking included, and puts it back together at the new shop. Freestanding shelving, racks and counters can also move as they are. For fixed or complex shop fittings, your shopfitter removes and installs them, and RelocatioNZ handles the transport between sites.
How do you keep our stock organised?
Stock is boxed and labelled by section or aisle, using the same labels marked on the new store's floor plan. The crew loads each section together and unloads it into the matching area, so your staff restock one section at a time instead of sorting a mixed pile of cartons.
Can you move stock between our warehouse and the shop?
Yes. RelocatioNZ has moved warehouse stock before and can run stock from a storage unit or warehouse in Seaview, Petone or Porirua to your shop. Regular runs are charged at the hourly rate. Tell Dan the volume and how often, and he will suggest one mover or two.
How much does it cost to move a shop in Wellington?
A small shop move with two movers and a truck costs $210 per hour including GST, which is $182.61 plus GST. The total depends on stock volume, fixtures, glass cabinets and access at both sites, including mall rules. Dan gives you a written quote after the site visit.
