What makes a move take longer
-
Stairs and steep paths
Every flight adds carry time. Tell us and we plan for it.
-
Long carries from the kerb
A long driveway or shared path means more trips.
-
No parking near the door
We sort the loading spot if you flag it in the form.
-
Heavy and awkward items
Wardrobes, American fridges and anything that has to come apart need extra hands.
-
Packing on the day
Boxes packed while we wait is time on the clock.

2 movers + truck, $210/hr
Why our $210 can look higher than an ad
Plenty of Wellington movers advertise rates plus GST. $180 + GST is $207 once you add it. Our $210/hr already has GST in it, so the number you see is the number you pay per hour.
$180 + GST = $207
$210 inc GST

Dan and the team were an amazing help with our move from Whitby to Kapiti. Communication was excellent. The quote process was quick and easy. Dan and his team were a pleasure to move with. Highly recommend!

5.0 out of 5 stars
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!

Pricing questions
Do your prices include GST?
Yes. Every price on this site includes GST, so the number you see is the number you pay. Business customers get an invoice showing GST separately.
When does the clock start and stop?
The clock starts when the truck arrives at your pick-up address and stops when the last item is inside your new place. You can keep the hours down by packing everything before we arrive and making sure the truck can park close to the door.
Do you charge travel time between suburbs?
Petone to Paraparaumu at 5pm is slower than Newtown to Kilbirnie at 10am, and that time is on the clock like any other part of the move. Getting the truck to your first address is a flat 30-minute travel charge, and the drive home from the last address is not charged. Anywhere outside Wellington is charged from our base.
Is there a minimum charge?
The minimum charge is one hour, which is $135 including GST for one mover and a truck or $210 for two movers. Most single items inside Wellington City fit within that first hour, such as a couch from Johnsonville to Newtown or a washing machine up to a Kelburn flat. There is no call-out fee.
How do I get a fixed price?
Moves from Wellington to Auckland, New Plymouth, Hawke's Bay, Palmerston North and the South Island get a fixed price, worked out on load size, distance and the ferry for South Island trips. Dan replies within 1 working day. Local moves are charged by the hour, and Dan confirms your estimate before you book.
Do you take a deposit?
Intercity moves and larger jobs need a 50% deposit to hold the date. Local moves are paid once the job is done, by bank transfer, cash or on invoice. Your invoice shows the hours worked, the hourly rate and the GST included, so you can check it against your estimate.
