Finding moving companies in Palmerston North on listings websites takes long hours of researching, repetitive phoning, leaving messages and most certainly getting an overpriced quote for your delivery.

Your delivery will then be transported in a half-empty van that will return home without a backload - for which you are expected to pay, resulting in:

a huge waste of your money
a wasteful journey
an environmentally unfriendly ride

All about Palmerston North

Good ol’ Palmie. It can often get forgotten about with the bright lights of Wellington just down the road, but there’s plenty going on for this more rurally located city in the lower North Island. For one - you get urban living for a fraction of the cost than you do in any of New Zealand’s other cities. This makes it super attractive for families, and there is still plenty to keep everyone entertained, minus the big city stuff like traffic jams and crime.

Palmerston North is a renowned student hub, with the world-class Massey University calling the city home. In fact, around 40% of the nearly 90,000 people who live here are studying! It’s also fantastically central, with the Hawkes Bay, ski fields and Wellington all within two hours drive.

The move isn't for a few weeks/months. How far in advance should I book a moving company in Palmerston North?

Moving companies tend to book fast, so the closer you get to your moving dates, the lesser space there will be available. Booking in advance helps you hold the price and avoid any future price increase too.

I only have a small item/s to move. Do you have a minimum cost for moving?

There is no minimum cost to move items. Our carriers quote will be based on the item size/weight, distance from the collection to the delivery destination, and the transport providers proximity to the desired location.

How is a Wise Move mover partner vetted?
