Palmerston North to Wellington delivery and moving

This is one of the shorter intercity runs in the lower North Island. Rather than ringing around for quotes, you describe the job once and drivers who want it come back to you with their own price. Posting is free, there is no obligation to accept anything, and you stay in control of who gets the work.

State Highway 57 runs south from Palmerston North to Levin, where it joins State Highway 1 down through Ōtaki and the Kāpiti Coast into Wellington. The road route is roughly 145 kilometres and the drive itself is usually around two hours, with the run through Porirua and into the city adding time at the busier parts of the day. When a driver bids on your job, they are weighing that trip against whatever else they have on. A driver who is already making the journey with space in the back decides what your load is worth to them and prices their own bid accordingly.

Posting a job is free and only takes a few details: pickup and drop off, what you are sending, photos if you have them, and the dates that suit. Verified drivers can then bid on it, and you compare the price, the vehicle and whatever ratings and reviews that driver has before you choose anyone. Once the job is booked, you can message your driver through SoundMove to sort out access, stairs or timing. When you accept a bid you are charged then, and SoundMove holds that money until the job's done. We release it to the driver when you confirm, or automatically 24 hours after the driver marks it done if you haven't raised an issue. The SoundMove Guarantee can also put up to $500 towards an insurance excess on an accepted claim, subject to terms.
