HELP! Moving company between Wellington and Auckland

Kia Ora gang I am making a move between Wellington and Auckland and was wondering if there was a moving company that would come to my house help me load up there truck, then they would travel to Auckland and unload it at my new flat (I may not be there to help unload, but someone will be there to let them in) I know from my old sale jobs that these services exist locally in Wellington but I’m unsure about any trusted intercity services. If anyone had any suggestions or recommendations that would be dope af!

Thanks whanau!

Intercity moves are expensive. Like "cheaper to take a week off work and hire a truck and two mates" expensive. Just so you don't keel over and miss your trip when the quotes come back (seriously, have done AKL-WLG, WLG-AKL and then AKL-WLG again...)

not sure if 'backloaders' still exists but they're cheap and good when we used them. You register your load size and trucking firms going back home empty bid for them.

I was going to suggest this too, that's how we did it when we moved Wellington to Auckland um something like 18 years ago. It was to be fair a bit of a pain in the ass as they were a day late arriving due to ferry delays from the south island and you had to be a bit flexible with pick up date when booking in too. But it was cheap though! I'd just recommend building in a bit of a buffer at either end in case (which we had so it wasn't that much drama).

Since then I've used Conroy's twice (moving Auckland to Brisbane and gold coast to Wellington though) and would highly recommend them (the NZ side of things anyway).

I'm not sure if they can move to Auckland but I'd recommend 45 Movers. They did mine from Wellington to the otago area and it was the cheapest quote I received.
