We are based in South East England with branches in Kent, Sussex and Surrey and provide service for moves throughout London, the South East and the Home Counties.
We are international door to door movers and can help you move you to any destination in New Zealand, take a look at our service areas below.
Door to door full container and shared container shipping services to and from any worldwide location. Fully supported by your dedicated move coordinator to help with planning, advice and documentation who will keep you up to date every step of the way.
If you aren't moving the volume of belongings to fill a whole shipping container we offer two great services enabling you to pay only for the space you need.
Individual wooden container (LCL)
We will load your items into your own wooden container which will then be shipped within a shared steel container to your destination. With LCL services you only pay for the space you use and with frequent departures still benefit from a speedy door-to-door transit time if that's important to you.
Groupage
Your items are labelled and loaded in a shared container with other customers of Bournes moving to the same destination. As with LCL shipments this means you only pay for the space you need, but it can take a little longer door-to-door as we need to collect and load all the consignments sharing your container first. If speed isn't so important to you this is our most cost effective service for smaller moves.
Your packing crew are specially trained in international packing to make sure your belongings are protected for the journey by air or sea. They will use the highest quality packing materials specially designed for international shipping and will provide a full inventory of the items they have packed.
Comprehensive International Removals and Storage insurance gives you peace of mind that you’re financially protected if the unexpected happens.
Our crews are fully trained and will take care to move all your belongings safely and securely. However, we all know accidents and situations can happen that are sometimes outside of our control and yours. That’s why we offer comprehensive specially designed International Removals Insurance with no excess to give you peace of mind that you’re financially protected if the unexpected happens.
A little extra help with your move, from Home Search and School Search to setting up bank accounts, learning about a new language or culture and lots more.

Alice was fantastic - really responsive before, during and after our move, she kept us informed and answered all our queries swiftly and knowledgeably. The packers were brilliant too, really took pride in their work and not a single fragile item was broken. No hesitation whatsoever in recommending Bournes!
