Moving & Shipping To Los Angeles From NZ

Move to Los Angeles with NZ's Premium Moving Company

Chasing the American Dream and relocating to L.A.? From the beaches to the Hollywood Hills, Los Angeles is a unique and exciting place to live.

When planning your move to the United States there’s a lot to think about. While it is considered the ‘land of opportunity,’ destination USA can be both an exciting and daunting prospect. After all there are over 330 million people living in 50 states, most of which are bigger than New Zealand. In addition, the USA has strict regulatory and security requirements, particularly for foreign nationals looking to emigrate.

Your Perfect Partner for Moving to The United States of America

NZ Van Lines is the perfect partner for your forthcoming move. We provide full ‘coast to coast‘ services to every state and postcode of the United States. For over 35 years we have consistently delivered quality removal services to our customers making the move to Los Angeles, California.

Moving individuals and families to Los Angeles for over 35 years

After 35 years of building our USA partner network NZ Van Lines can deliver a complete ‘door to door’ service to individuals and families moving abroad to Los Angeles, USA.

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 L.A. residence.

Relocate to Los Angeles 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 the USA

If you are considering a move to the USA 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 with regular sailings to Los Angeles.

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.
