Moving boxes in Wellington

Wellington moves are defined by two things: the hills and the wind. Steps, narrow streets and no parking outside the door are normal, so boxes you can actually carry matter more here than almost anywhere.

Can you get moving boxes delivered to Wellington?

Yes. We deliver everywhere in New Zealand, and Wellington sits in delivery zone A. We have not published our rates yet, so there is no number to quote you here. The delivery page says why, and what other New Zealand sellers currently charge while we get ours set.

Where can you hire moving crates in Wellington?

If you are moving locally and would rather not deal with cardboard at all, crate hire is a real alternative: Rentacrate covers Wellington. Crates go back at the end of the move, so there is nothing to get rid of afterwards. We are not paid by any of them.

• Rentacrate — crate hire for Wellington moves

We are not paid by any of them. They are here because they are the honest answer for some moves.

What do you do with the cardboard afterwards in Wellington?

Wellington City Council asks that you flatten cardboard and put it in your recycling wheelie bin or crate, with large boxes cut down to fit. Do that and the cardboard goes out with your kerbside recycling rather than to landfill. It is the last job of the move.
