How Galleon Can Seamlessly Move Your Family From The UK To New Zealand: A Step-By-Step Guide
New Zealand is one of the most popular emigration destinations for Brits – and for good reason. The country is prosperous, beautiful, and welcoming, with a culture close enough to home to help expats find their feet quickly in their new communities. However, in terms of distance, New Zealand is about as far away from Blighty as it’s possible to get, so relocating your family from the UK to New Zealand is a significant life event. At Galleon International, our team is here to make the transition as smooth and stress-free as possible for you. With extensive experience in international relocations, we provide a personalised service and a level of support not offered by many relocation services. Here is a brief step-by-step guide to how we can assist you at every stage of your journey.
Step One: Initial Consultation
As each family has different needs, every relocation begins with a one-to-one consultation. One of our relocation specialists will work closely with you to understand the specific needs of your family, your timeline, and any concerns you might have. Whether you are moving for family reasons, for work, or simply for a fresh start, we can tailor our international relocation service to fit your circumstances, budget, and requirements.
Step Two: Relocation Planning
Armed with a good understanding of your requirements, our team can craft a detailed relocation plan. This roadmap will include everything you need from scheduling key dates to coordinating logistics for a seamless move. With transparent and clear advice at every stage, we will keep you informed and confident about each phase of your journey.
Step Three: Expert Packing Services
Packing is one of the most daunting and time-consuming parts of any house move, and even more so when moving abroad. Our professional packing team know exactly what they’re doing, and uses high-quality materials and a proven process to pack up, categorise, log, and protect your belongings. We can handle everything from fragile items and heirlooms to bulky furniture with care and precision so that your possessions arrive in New Zealand in perfect condition.
Step Four: Secure Shipping
We use a carefully chosen network of global relocation partnerships to make sure your shipments are handled with the utmost care and professionalism. We offer various shipping options to accommodate your timeline and budget and regularly update you with tracking information so you are informed about the status of your belongings in real-time. We can also arrange for cars and other vehicles to be shipped to New Zealand from the UK.
Step Five: Customs Clearance
Our relocation team is well-versed in New Zealand’s customs and import regulations and can help you with all the necessary paperwork so that your goods clear customs without any delays or unexpected charges. We aim to proactively manage any potential issues so you can focus on settling into your new home.
Step Six: Settling In
Arriving in New Zealand is only the first part of your new adventure. Our team offer a range of services to support you through the settling-in process, including advice on local schools, health facilities, amenities, and transportation to help you acclimatise quickly.
