For those who are considering a relocation to New Zealand, you can’t go better than having Crown Relocations manage everything from destination. We provide a complete ‘one stop’ service that can begin with the immigration process and end with a successful settlement into your new home in New Zealand.

With respect to quotations for moving your furniture we can source the most competitive bids possible and give you a number of different options. These include:

Shared Containers are a popular choice and are often used for small shipments of items. These containers are often shared with other Crown customers and are a very cost efficient option, as you only pay for the amount of space you use.
For those items that you just can’t live without, we provide an Air Freight service. You will find this is the quickest method of international transportation.
Sole-use Shipping Containers are most often used for full house loads, and ensure the most efficient and quick relocation time frame.

Any removal quotations you source from us are for a full door-to-door service, and will include shipping, the Ministry of Primary Industries (which a lot of companies exclude) and delivery to your new home. Best of all you don’t even pay until you get here!

We will insure your personal effects at destination so in the unlikely event of an insurance issue or claim there will be no need to refer back to your country of origin as we manage our own policy and settle our own claims

It doesn’t stop there as once you arrive we can support you and your family through our Settling in Services and even save you money by setting up your new home with rental furniture while yours is in transit.

If anything concerns you, then we are right here at destination, and there is no need to constantly refer back to your country of origin for information or answers to your questions for moving to New Zealand.
