Logistics & Storage for Business Relocations

Moving costs vary depending on several factors, including the distance of your move, the size of your household or office, the services you select, and your location. Urban moves within Auckland, Wellington, or Christchurch will typically differ in cost compared to long-distance or inter-island moves.

Allied offers obligation-free, personalised quotes based on the specifics of your move. Your Personal Moving Consultant will assess your requirements, including packing, storage, and any specialised services, to provide a clear estimate. This allows you to plan your relocation with confidence and avoid unexpected expenses.

Yes. Allied movers are fully equipped to dismantle and reassemble furniture as part of your move. This includes beds, wardrobes, shelving units, and other bulky items.

Simply let us know what furniture needs to be taken apart, and our team will bring the appropriate tools and expertise to complete the job efficiently and safely. We can also provide advice on how to prepare items for disassembly to make the process smoother and ensure nothing is damaged during transport.

Moving insurance is optional but highly recommended. While our professional movers and removalists take every precaution to protect your items, there are always risks in transit, especially for fragile or high-value belongings.

Allied offers in-house moving insurance tailored to your specific needs. Your Personal Moving Consultant will guide you through the available coverage options, helping you choose a policy that provides the right level of protection for your possessions. Should you need to make a claim, we provide full support through the process to ensure it is handled quickly and fairly.

Yes. Allied can provide professional-grade packing materials designed to protect your belongings during transit. This includes sturdy boxes, bubble wrap, packing tape, and specialised materials for fragile or valuable items such as electronics, artwork, and antiques.

If you prefer to handle some or all of the packing yourself, we recommend using Allied-supplied boxes and materials. These are specifically designed to withstand the rigours of moving and ensure your items arrive safely. Your Personal Moving Consultant can advise on the right quantities and types of packing materials for your household or office, and can provide tips on how to pack efficiently while minimising the risk of damage.

The timeline for booking your move depends on the type and distance of your relocation. Local moves within a city like Auckland or Wellington can often be scheduled with just a few weeks’ notice, whereas long-distance or inter-island moves may require additional planning. Inter-island relocations, for example, can involve ferry bookings, route planning, and potential weather considerations, which can affect scheduling.

For international moves, there are added factors such as customs documentation, shipping schedules, and transport logistics that need to be arranged well in advance.

We recommend contacting Allied as soon as your moving date is confirmed. Generally, reaching out six weeks ahead works for most relocations, but our team can often accommodate shorter lead times for simpler moves or smaller households. Early booking ensures you secure your preferred dates, gives your Personal Moving Consultant time to organise all the details, and allows you to plan your packing and storage requirements with ease.
