Load Carrier offers reliable moving services throughout New Zealand. With many years of experience as local movers, we are a trusted choice when you are looking for a moving company.

We have a reliable team that provides long-distance moves, furniture packing services, commercial moves, and more. So whatever kind of move you have coming up, we are here to help.

All goods are carried at the owner's risk unless arrangements are made for transit insurance. Carriers Liability insurance has very basic and limited coverage and will not provide full coverage. We encourage and strongly recommend that all our customers purchase their own transit insurance.

The safety of our clients' furniture and other items is always our topmost priority. Ensuring that our customers have a satisfactory experience with us is what we’re best at.

Car Transport

Contract and Commercial Law Act 2017 – Limited Carriers Risk
This means that load carrier is not responsible for damage, theft or vehicle contents. This extends to while in transit, parked or stored. Unless in the unlikely event we are at fault, our insurance covers up to $2000 incl GST for any liable damage only.
All non-runners and pre-damaged vehicles are relocated at the owner’s risk.
We recommend having comprehensive insurance cover in place (Normal full car insurance) and ensuring your policy extends to “in transit between places in New Zealand”. This covers your vehicle when using a professional transport provider, by definition a company with a Transport Service Licence

Moving should be affordable for everyone, so we aim to keep our prices fair and reasonable.

Don't hesitate to get in touch with Load Carrier today!

These guys are great, they accommodated me through all the changes getting my daughters shipment from Queentown to Northland. They took care of our things and really are friendly. I would highly recommend them from a very satisfied customer. Great rates too

Communication was poor. I had to call to get an approximate pick up time as I was only given the day. When no one showed I had to call to follow up. Apparently they had tried to call but no missed calls were shown on my phone. I had to message to ask the approximated delivery date as I was not informed, when the day passed and I had heard nothing, I reached again to them be informed there had been a delay that I had not been notified of. I had no problem with the delay as these things happen over the holiday season but it would have been nice to know.

When delivery did come, my clothing rack was not delivered. The driver said it had been left on the trailer and they would call regarding that but I have heard nothing in over a week and will once again have to follow up myself.

Overall the service was fine and my fragile goods were delivered in good condition but I would hope communication would be improved.

I received no communication from Load Carrier prior to the day of the move to confirm the date and time they would arrive. After trying to call three times, my call was finally returned and I was advised the movers would be there within an hour. Once they arrived everything went very smoothly, and I cannot fault the guys. They were efficient and friendly. If the communication had been better this would have been a great service, however the lack of confirmation caused a bit of stress which could have been avoided. After reading other reviews, it seems other customers have also had this issue. Overall, happy with the service and would use Load Carrier again.

Unfortunately the pick up was a day late with no contact to let me know.
When they arrived they were really good. Only took 2 days to deliver it down to the South Island.
It arrived in excellent condition.
I would definitely use them again.

The stuff arrived and in one piece which was good,
communication was lacking as had to keep texting as calls were not answered.
Stuff was picked up on the right day but, then not delivered on day confirmed as didn't have ferry organised so several days later it all arrived.
So happy we got it but just need to get better at the organizational and communication side of things

Very poor communication. Delay in pick up without letting anyone (seller or us) know. Two weeks late in delivery. Damage to vehicle and no reply to messages about this damage. Very unhappy with unreliable service.
Response from Load Carrier
Hi Julia, we have replied you and informed that that damage was previous not done on transporter with photograph still recieved this review is disappointing.

You should review the company or the seller you bought from instead of blaming us.
