Auckland Relocation Challenges
A move around Auckland has a whole host of differing problems; in fact, no two moves are ever the same. From a high-rise requiring a reserved loading area, or a sloping driveway in the West Auckland suburbs, to a narrow street where the truck has to park some distance away, or a move north of the bridge, each determines how long it will take to load out. A move to the South Island is a wholly different task, but it will take all these things into account to ensure the Auckland end can be cleared before the ferry arrives.
Traffic is another consideration. During the week, the hours of 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. and around 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. are the prime slow-moving hours of the day. Starting the moving operation outside these hours is often even quicker than rushing to pack everything, and the length of time varies depending on the distance, the suburb being vacated and the suburb being settled in, parking, and the sheer amount of stuff being carted. Therefore, CityMove takes all of these factors into account, knowing that no two moves in Auckland will present the same challenge.
Steep driveways, stairs, and/or long carries from the truck will require more time, not motivation. Please inform us of any unique circumstances upon booking, so we can bring the right-sized vehicle and the proper number of people to complete your move with no problem upon arrival.
