When you choose The Moving Company for your international relocation, you are engaging one of the best moving experiences available anywhere in the world!
The Moving Company is New Zealand’s biggest private international mover, specialising in international shipping and moving, handling thousands of export and import shipments each year from New Zealand to the USA.
Whether you are moving to California, Florida, Colorado, Alabama, Texas, Washington, Hawaii or any other part of the USA, we have the experience and expertise to get you there, on time and on budget.
Our experts take care of everything, from international packing, wrapping, and uplift of your possessions in New Zealand, right through to our service partners unpacking and taking away leftover materials for recycling when you take delivery.
Everything in your shipment is packed to international standards. We have specialised materials and techniques for crating and packing artwork, antiques, high-value breakables and other fragile items. Additionally, we have designed our own range of cartons for moving bikes, golf clubs, clothes on hangers, priority items, and flat-screen televisions.
An important part of our packing service is preparing a detailed inventory of your personal effects. This travels with your shipment throughout the relocation. It is an important document that is also used by customs and quarantine officials upon your shipment’s arrival in the USA.
Our team understand that moving internationally is about much more than logistics. It is an anxious time, and help is often needed to make life easier when moving.
We don’t forget about you when your shipment leaves our shores. Quality lines of communication are maintained for the full ‘lifetime’ of each relocation. Our objective is to ensure you successfully start your new life before our job is done.

All FIDI and OMNI members must meet the FAIM quality standard, the only independently audited quality standard in the international moving industry.

For Kiwi’s who want to move to the USA permanently there are a few different approaches when it comes to securing an Immigrant Visa. However, before you can apply for this type of visa you will need to go through a pre-approval process.
You will need to petition the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) and this petition should be filed by a qualified relative or a potential employer at a USCIS office on the ground in the United States. If your petition gets approved, you can then apply for your Immigrant Visa. Each application is treated as unique and it is difficult to estimate how long the process will take to complete. Some factors that will affect your waiting time include:
Limited categories, where each year only a certain number of a certain type of application can be processed.
Time to submit, where your ability to file all requested documents will largely dictate the time your application will take to complete.
You will need to go through a medical examination process and you will also have to create an online profile, and attend at least one interview. The US Consulate will be the agency that you will need to deal with for all applications, document submissions and interviews.
Every move is unique, we will provide a quotation for your moving needs.
You can get a free moving quote by a submitting quote or calling our team on: 0800 668 464
