Biketranz is a popular one http://www.biketranz.co.nz/ email them for a price.

Also Mana Transport in Wellington do put some stuff in with their furniture in their trucks. Might try them for a price as well.
Mana Transport Ltd
(04) 2984832 I think?

BikeTranz is the best deal pricewise, and they transport bikes for a crust rather than earning a living dragging furniture around the place.

That's a good thing.

I'd rather trust my bike to somebody who knows what he's doing than to a bunch of bumbling fucktards. Last time I moved house (the first and last time using a moving firm, I had always done it myself up until then), I ended up with half a dozen items of broken furniture, a fucked fridge, a broken leadlight in the front door of my old house, and a hole in one of the hallway walls at my new house. This was a "reputable" outfit too.

Thank fuck I decided not to trust them with my bike or my animals.

Agree with the above guys, biketranz are pretty good so I've heard. But if it is an old bike that you are looking at restoring etc.. try main frieght or another frieght company. Had a mate who got a crashed bike from Dunedin to Auckland with a frieght company with no problems.
