Moving From NZ (International Move)
Move to GLASGOW, SCOTLAND with NZ's Premium Moving Company
Many Kiwis are once again looking to take the leap and move to the United Kingdom. They are receiving a warm welcome as UK employers are clamouring to get their hands on skilled workers from New Zealand.
While this new wave of departures is predominantly ‘first timers’ on working holidays or taking up longer term employment, there is also a steady stream of Kiwis, UK citizens and other nationalities relocating to Glasgow, a city rich in culture and a gateway to Scotland’s magnificent scenery that offers job opportunities, history, arts, education, diverse neighbourhoods and plenty to keep busy with sports, and activities to to do, see and enjoy.

Whether it is for only a few years or forever NZ Van Lines is the perfect partner for your forthcoming move. Every year our removals group manages the highest number of relocations in the industry, both into and out of the UK.

Moving individuals and families to Glasgow, UK for over 35 years
After 35 years of building our UK partner network NZ Van Lines can deliver a complete ‘door to door’ service to individuals and families moving abroad to Glasgow, UK.
Our service starts at home with the appointment of a dedicated Moving Consultant to assist with your international move every step of the way. This includes everything from the packing and uplift of your shipment, the preparation and lodgement of key documents right through to a full clearance and delivery service to your new Glasgow residence.
Relocate to Glasgow from New Zealand
Whether you’re moving with just a few items, or a full house load we treat all customers as a priority. If your consignment is a smaller one, less time sensitive or you’re on a tight budget, our shared container ‘groupage’ service is a popular option. You still receive the same personalised packing and delivery services, but only pay for your share of the container costs.
Our service includes much more than moving your household goods. We can get you there by either air or sea, or a combination of both, depending on your requirements. In addition, we provide secure storage options, (at both origin and destination) pet moving, motor vehicle and motorbike relocations, fully comprehensive marine insurance, and a range of settling in programmes at destination.

International Shipping to Glasgow
If you are considering an international move to Glasgow, we will provide a seamless door-to-door process. As New Zealand’s biggest volume international mover you can be assured that NZ Van Lines has the best shipping options to meet even the tightest deadlines.
Air Freight
Air Freight shipments are generally needed when there are specific personal effects required, within a short time frame. Many customers will have a smaller air freight shipment arriving in advance of their sea freight. This is a popular option for customers moving into longer term transit accommodation while they wait for their primary shipment, or self-employed workers setting up their home office.
Sea Freight Sole-Use Container
Sole-use 20’ or 40’ shipping containers are most often used for complete house loads, and can include additional items e.g. motor vehicles. They are the most efficient and quickest option for a direct door-to-door service. In some instances, we can deliver your personal effects from the same container that was loaded at residence.
Sea Freight Shared Container
Shared or Groupage Containers are a popular choice, often being used for small shipments or when two to three households of personal effects can be consolidated into the same container. Generally, a shared container is very cost effective, as you only pay for the space you use. They are especially popular with less time sensitive customers.

Frequently Asked Questions - all you need to know before moving to GLASGOW
This varies a great deal and depends on numerous factors, but typically we recommend providing us with two to three months notice. In some circumstances this isn’t possible, we will work in with you at short notice if necessary. Call our friendly team on: 0800 362 236
For customers moving overseas marine insurance is highly recommended, while your possessions are under our care. You will have full protection for damages, partial or total loss, from the moment our packers arrive at your home, until you take delivery and are unpacked, at your destination. Learn more.
If we’re doing all the packing, – very little – we will pack directly from cupboards and shelves. If you are doing some or all of the packing yourselves, you need to have this completed by uplift date. Our Moving Consultant will prepare a quotation outlining what has been agreed to regarding dismantling and packing furniture, noting also any items which are not to be moved. However the following rules usually apply:
- Washing machines should be disconnected with drum-fixing brackets in place prior to moving day
- Attics should be emptied unless we have specifically agreed to do this for you
- Fridges and freezers should be emptied and dried. Placement of tea bags inside such appliances will prevent unpleasant odours
- Items not to go with the shipment, such as important paperwork (especially passports!) and keys need to be placed out of the way to avoid inadvertent packing
You can import alcohol into the UK, however you will need to declare a complete list of all bottles, depicting alcohol type and style, size of bottle (ozs. or mls), % of bottle content if bottle not full, alcoholic content of liquor as a % of volume, country of production, value. All alcoholic beverages will be subject to customs duty and GST. Beer, Wine and Spirits all attract extremely high levels of duty and GST.Â
Yes, our storage facilities rank among the best in the world!Â
We have over 4000 storage containers available in secure company managed facilities, across all major New Zealand cities and regions. You’ll have ‘peace of mind’ knowing that your personal effects are secured within a Customs and Quarantine bonded warehouse.
For customers requiring overseas storage, we can also provide the same service and facility standards through our worldwide network of accredited international service
partners, but it’s cheaper in New Zealand. Learn more about our storage solutions.

Please discuss this with your Move Manager.
