Leave the professional packing and moving to us. Our move consultants will visit your home at your convenience to complete an in-home appraisal. In addition to our relocation services, we offer competitive storage options, movers insurance, pet relocation services and more.
When you use The Moving Company as your specialist furniture moving service, you get superior packing services to an international standard. We pack large items like mattresses and couches in heavy-gauge plastic bags, carefully shape-wrap your whiteware and stainless steel appliances, and tub-wrap your stemware and high-risk breakables.
When you are relocating overseas, we take extra care. 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 the hangar, priority items and flat-screen televisions.
Loading and stowing for relocation needs a professional touch to ensure your valuable items are safe and secure through local or international transit. When we shift your belongings from city to city by truck, we use dedicated furniture removal pads and your items are securely stowed and strapped to offset vehicle movement.
When you are shifting overseas, we load your international shipping container for you, securing your container with high-density steel locking bolts.
Moving day can be stressful, so we offer a professional unpacking service for your whole-house furniture removal. The Finishing Touch unpacking service will head to your new location and organise your home before you arrive.
This is a great way to ensure your move feels like an adventure instead of a headache!
As we pack up your home, we record every item on an itemised inventory list. You can make this available to customs if you are relocating overseas. If you are moving from city to city or region to region within New Zealand, we will use this comprehensive list to allow you to check off every item as you unpack.
Our professional packing teams protect items such as china, plastics and books in paper before stowing them in cartons. All packing takes place in your home, and with the exception of ‘same day’ local moves, each package or carton is sequentially numbered with labels prior to loading, which provides tracking information and inventory management including reference numbers, your name, your destination and your move date.
For delicates and stemware such as wine glasses and cocktail glasses, we wrap each individual item with tissue and paper before placing the items in corrugated cardboard tubes.
Specified delicate or fragile items get customised protection.
Priority cartons are used for important items such as bed legs, bolts from dismantled furniture, and remote controls to ensure they are easy to locate in your new home.
Pictures are individually wrapped in bubble wrap. One or more pictures or mirrors are placed into an adjustable size picture carton or crated where necessary.
TVs are shape wrapped with bubble wrap, then placed inside a special TV carton with polystyrene inserts for maximum stability and protection.
Clothes are placed flat into clothing cartons. Clothes can remain on their hangers and the arms are folded in. Or clothes remain on their hangers in a port-a-robe.
Purpose made cartons to fit golf bags, sports equipment and bikes.
Mattresses and bases are placed inside heavy-gauge plastic mattress bags. Lounge suites are placed inside heavy-gauge plastic lounge suite bags.
