Eco-Friendly Moving: How to Make Your Wellington Move Sustainable

Posted on | by New Zealand Movers

As the world turns to greener policies, most of us do what we can to help the environment. Whether it’s little things like composting or only buying organic soaps, or big commitments like investing in solar panels or a zero-emission vehicle, every little thing counts and, together, we can work towards a healthier planet.

There’s no wonder that you’re wanting to make moving houses a sustainable operation. Moving homes has the potential to use an unnecessary amount of precious resources, which we want to keep to a minimum.

Here, New Zealand Movers tell us about eco-friendly moving in Wellington and how to make your moving experience more sustainable.

Choose a moving company with updated trucks

Choosing a moving company who updates their trucks is one way to make your Wellington move more sustainable. In 2018, 43% of New Zealand’s total CO2 emissions were caused by road transport, including light and heavy duty trucks. However, newer trucks can be far more fuel-efficient than old ones, having come a long way in fuel conservation.

Therefore, by choosing a moving company who invests in new trucks with less fuel consumption, you can make your Wellington move more sustainable. New Zealand Movers boast a fleet of new trucks with excellent fuel mileage, so you can get where you’re going in an eco-friendly way.

Recycled cardboard boxes

Using recycled cardboard boxes is another way to reduce your carbon footprint when moving in Wellington, making for an eco-friendly move. Recycling at home is one of the best things we can do for sustainability on an individual level. When you move, however, you’re likely to use a lot more resources than you normally would. New Zealand Movers use cardboard boxes that are recycled, so you can use them guilt-free.

Limiting the load

Limiting your load by getting rid of unwanted items before moving is another great commitment to a sustainable move in Wellington. The less you travel with, the less space you need, meaning you might only need a light truck rather than a full-size one which spares carbon emissions. We’re not saying you have to get rid of everything you own, but if there’s something like clothes or a piece of furniture you’re thinking of donating or selling, it’s worthwhile to do this before the move.

Donating unwanted goods to charities or placing them for sale on online marketplaces is a great way to limit your load for an eco-friendly move in Wellington.

The Benefits of Working with an Experienced Moving Company

Posted on | by New Zealand Movers

Learning how to move a home is a skill. It’s just like becoming a hairdresser or a mechanic; the more experience you have, the more time you’ve had to hone those skills and become the best professional you can be!

Just like getting a haircut or taking your car in for a service, you’d be a tad nervous if your moving company had little experience. Peace of mind is just one of the benefits of working with an experienced moving company, so let’s talk to the professionals at New Zealand Movers to explain the others!

The art of moving and packing

Anyone who’s worked in logistics, or has even packed for a long holiday, will tell you that there’s an art to moving and packing furniture. While the average person may take three trips to move your belongings from one home to the other, an experienced moving company may do it in a single haul.

Experienced movers learn tricks of the trade which allow them to professionally pack and stow your belongings and maximise space in the truck or container, save time and therefore save you money. Sure, a team of newbies may be offering cheaper rates to undercut the market, but if they take three times as long to do the job, then you’re not saving a whole lot!

Across the street, or across the globe?

Experienced moving companies have the benefit of a further reach. They’ve had years and years to slowly grow and expand their services and, for New Zealand Movers, this has meant offering international relocations. Whether you’re moving to Parnell or Paraguay, New Zealand Movers are experienced in moving Kiwi families overseas through their global network of trusted partners.

Book confidently thanks to comprehensive insurance policies

It’s a fact of life: sometimes, things don’t go as planned. While it’s rare for an experienced moving service to break or damage one of your belongings, you have the benefit of comprehensive insurance policies. This way, you can book your moving date with complete confidence and have peace of mind.

Need space? No worries

A professional, experienced moving service understands that sometimes, we need space – physical space to store stuff, that is. Secure, convenient storage facilities is just another benefit that comes with choosing an experienced moving team like New Zealand Movers. Send your belongings straight to the storage facility from your current house, and have them delivered when you’ve reconfigured your new home or are ready to take delivery in your new location.

New Zealand Movers aren’t just a moving service. They’re your moving service. They’re here for Kiwis far and wide, across the island or across the globe. Wherever you are, you can count on New Zealand Movers for those bigger-and-better moments, the time-to-downsize moments, the ‘I-got-the-job!’ moments and the time-for-a-change moments. Offering the best professional moving service in the country, New Zealand Movers are proud to deliver an exceptional moving experience to take the stress out of relocation.
