Furniture shipping to New Zealand

🪑 What Furniture Can We Ship?

We ship all types of furniture to New Zealand, including:

Category	Examples
Living Room	Sofas, sectionals, coffee tables, TV consoles, bookshelves
Dining Room	Dining tables, chairs, bar stools, sideboards
Bedroom	Bed frames, mattresses, wardrobes, dressers, nightstands
Office	Desks, office chairs, conference tables, computer desks
Outdoor	Garden furniture, patio sets, beach chairs, outdoor tables
Specialty	Glass furniture, marble tops, solid wood pieces, custom cabinetry, gym equipment, musical instruments

💡 Important – Wood Rules: Solid wood furniture and wooden packaging materials must comply with ISPM 15 standards – heat-treated or fumigated with the IPPC stamp clearly displayed. New Zealand’s Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI) has strict biosecurity regulations. Non-compliant wood packaging may be treated, destroyed, or re-exported at your expense. Using plywood or plastic pallets eliminates this risk entirely.

📍 Where We Deliver in New Zealand

We cover all major cities across New Zealand:

Region	Cities
North Island	Auckland, Wellington, Hamilton, Tauranga
South Island	Christchurch, Queenstown, Dunedin

Door-to-door delivery is available to homes, apartments, warehouses, and even rural addresses with road access.

⏱️ Shipping Time (Door-to-Door)

Auckland: Approx. 25–30 days from shipment to delivery
Wellington / Christchurch: Approx. 30–40 days (longer sea route + inland transfer)

Sea voyage from China ports (Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Ningbo, Shanghai) to Auckland takes about 18–25 days, followed by customs clearance and local delivery. LCL shipments may take an extra 3–5 days due to consolidation and deconsolidation. Peak seasons (Chinese New Year, Christmas) may add 1–2 weeks – plan ahead!
