Long-distance move from Invercargill, SL to Christchurch, Canterbury

Highly recommend

Packing and unpacking was easy and the guys were extremely careful and professional. We had issues getting the keys at our new property and they hung around and then still put everything where we needed it.

Long-distance move from Auckland to Otago

Moving from Auckland to Central Otago

We used Container Relocations to move us from Auckland to Clyde , the process was seamless and efficient. The instructions on what we had to do and what they did was simple. Our part done the Containers and the moving team arrived, they packed our stuff, loaded the containers and sent them off. All arrived in the new Location in perfect order. The CR team were great to deal with, they are very responsive and very friendly. As to pricing it worked out the cheapest way for us to get our move done. Highly recommend this firm and their service.

Long-distance move from Bay of Plenty to West Coast

Biggest Mistake Ever Using Containers Relocation

Even though CR team was nice to deal with when booking the relocation, the experience at the other end was horrendous with very disorganized and unprofessional packers. The CR team's response to my complaint was unprofessional as well.

Takes the Stress out of Moving

From start to finish, Container Relocations were very responsive, they ensured we were well equipped to pack our goods and provided a great pre departure checklist. Every inch of the container was packed, and the team placed everything in our new house including unpacking our bed and setting it up. We have moved 3 times in the last 3 years and Container Relocations were the easiest company to work with. Thanks to the whole team at Container Relocations!

Long-distance move from Auckland, AU to Christchurch, Canterbury

Relocation Auckland to Christchurch made simple and stress free

An absolutely phenomenal team that made our relocation so simple and stress free.

Excellent prices, friendly, efficient staff that kept our possessions safe and kept us well informed.

Packing tips and checklists were incredible.

At no point were we ever left wondering what the next step would be. Clear overview in the beginning and held our hand through each step, guiding us. They truly were a guiding light in our chaos.

NO breakage!

HIGHLY recommend.

Thank you container relocations ❤️

Long-distance move from Porirua, WE to Christchurch, Canterbury

Brilliant service, great work!

A big shout out to all the folk at Container Relocations!

In our recent move from Kapiti Coast to Christchurch, what stood out was: your frequent and personable communications, the care your crews took in loading and unloading (and the good humour they brought to the job), your use of rail (with its lower carbon emissions) plus the fact our stuff wasn't swaying about on the back of a truck on every bend down the Kaikoura coast, everything arrived in great nick, your very reasonable costs.

I wouldn't hesitate to heartly recommend you guys.

Brilliant service, love your work!

Long-distance move from Christchurch, CB to Dunedin, Otago

Container Relocations Christchurch

The contract was to pick up, rail 500 kilometres, store for six weeks then unload. Plenty of room for glitches but these guys handled it seamlessly. When they say a three bedroom house load will fit in a 20 foot container they are right, unbelievable! Although we packed ourselves they didn't break a thing and some of that packing must have been questionable.

Great friendly communication, nothing was a problem, they have my top rating!

Outstanding Inter-Island Move

We recently used Container Relocations for our inter-island move and they were absolutely fantastic. From start to finish, we had total confidence in the team. Communication was clear, everything happened when they said it would, and the whole process felt effortless.

When our container arrived, they made us feel right at home. The crew were friendly, professional, and just so good at getting the job done. Moving can be stressful, but they turned it into a smooth, reassuring experience.

Highly recommend Container Relocations — they made a huge transition feel easy.

Long-distance move from Auckland to Canterbury

Inter island move from Auckland to Christchurch

I cannot recommend this company enough! They were absolutely fantastic! We had a lot of stuff to move including two cars. We needed two containers shipped at different times which was no problem for them to manage. The staff in the office Dani, Lisa and Mark were so helpful and patient with our constant barrage of emails and calls. When it came to packing the container David was amazing! He went above and beyond to reassure us and fit everything in. I was absolutely blown away by how much he was able to pack in! His team were also so helpful, friendly and professional. Malcolm and his team at the Christchurch end were also brilliant. Everything arrived in great condition and was off loaded with care

This is an a really great company, the service is brilliant, the staff so helpful and nothing is ever too much trouble and the cost very reasonable. Communication is also excellent, you are kept updated regularly. For great service at a very reasonable cost I highly recommend Container Relocations

Long-distance move from Bay of Plenty to Otago

Interisland move

Highly recommend this company. Their quote was half the price of some others which when moving from Bay of Plenty to Dunedin is a substantial saving. I honestly thought when the container turned up that there was no way it would fit all our belongings but the skill of the movers made sure it did. Delivery was just as good. Communication was great throughout the move. Nothing damaged. Brilliant.
