START EARLY
Begin packing 6 to 8 weeks before your move. Tackle one room at a time to avoid last minute chaos.

DECLUTTER BEFORE YOU PACK
Only take what you truly need or cherish. New Zealand is known for its relaxed lifestyle—why take clutter?

PROTECT YOUR FRAGILE ITEMS
Wrap glass, ceramics and artwork in bubble wrap, tissue paper and corrugated card to reduce the risk of damage.

CHOOSE THE RIGHT BOX SIZE
Boxes should be full but not overfull. Leave a little room and cushion items with packing foam.

LABEL EVERYTHING CLEARLY
Every tea carton should have your name, destination address and room allocation to speed up delivery and unpacking.

KEEP A DETAILED INVENTORY
Track what you’re sending and what should arrive in New Zealand—it’s invaluable for customs and peace of mind.

PACK AN ESSENTIALS BOX
Include a few must-haves for when you first arrive: kettle, toiletries, phone charger, snacks and perhaps that first cuppa in your new home.
