International Shipping to New Zealand

If you are considering a move to New Zealand we will provide a seamless door-to-door process, all managed by our Kiwi based Move Management team. As New Zealand’s biggest volume international mover you can be assured that NZ Van Lines has the shipping options to meet even the tightest deadlines. Best of all we stay with you for 100% of the journey.

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.

OUR CUSTOMER TESTIMONIALS

High praise for the service provided and compliments to the staff on their professionalism and helpfulness.

Mark

Excellent service and a great team of people to deal with at NZ Van lines, both in the office and on the ground when it came to uplifting our effects. Everything
was efficient and went to plan, and our effects arrived safely and on schedule in France. Highly recommend!

flexible attitude.

In our 17 years and multiple moves to London, Hong Kong and New Zealand, you and your team have by far been the absolute best. Everything arrived in
perfect condition. The care and thoughtfulness that you and your team exhibited in arranging the pack was above and beyond. The communication was amazing.
Thank you.
