Getting There — Auckland to Christchurch
Your belongings travel via SH1 to Wellington, Cook Strait ferry to Picton, then south through Canterbury. The total distance is approximately 1005 km, taking around 14 hours of driving time. This route includes a Cook Strait ferry crossing between Wellington and Picton — your mover coordinates the booking and your items stay securely loaded on the truck throughout. Given the distance, expect a 2–3 day transit depending on ferry schedules and load size. When listing your move on Movestuff, include details like property type, stairs, floor level, and how far the truck can park from your front door — these all affect your quote.
Protecting Furniture on Long-Distance Moves
Over 1005 km of road plus a ferry crossing, furniture can take a beating if not properly protected. Good movers use blanket wraps, strapping, and padding to prevent scratches and dents. When listing your furniture delivery on Movestuff, mention if items are fragile, glass-topped, or antique — this helps movers prepare the right protection.
