We're on the move!
By Che –
We've outgrown our HQ in Rosedale, Auckland and this weekend we're moving to our new home about 19 km away in Millwater. This is no small task, and is expected to take us from Saturday to Wednesday, 7 February, to complete.
Here are some interesting facts about our new premises, and the move itself:
- Our new office and warehouse is a massive 10,000 sqm
- We estimate that we can hold a maximum of 800,000 products in it (SKU holding: 800,000)
- The building's high-end fire suppression system requires a huge amount of water, more than the local supply can provide. We have two tanks outside that hold 1 million litres each and act as a buffer for the sprinkler system. They've been tested to output 20,000 litres per minute.
- The building has been built with the environment in mind. The building has been built to attain green star rating of 5 and includes the following eco-friendly features: rainwater flushed toilets, rainwater garden irrigation, carpool parking, smart lighting systems to reduce our power consumption, and provisions for solar panel power in the future.
- The move is expected to take 100 truck and trailer loads.
- We have a huge Courier Post truck and trailer unit arriving and leaving both warehouses every 30 minutes each day for 12 hours
- There are 4 fork lifts at each end loading and unloading the trucks
- The move requires the use of 60,000 stickers to label the shelving
We expect to be back up for shipping and pickup as normal from Wednesday, 7 February. If you live nearby and prefer to pick up your orders you will also be able to do that from Wednesday, 7 February, details here.

Welcome to your new home, folks. You do an amazing job.
Impressive! Well done!!
The new building sounds Awsome. Yay more room for more products. :)
We used to be neighbours....
Congratulations on being successful enough to need a much bigger warehouse. I think you’ll be too far away from me now to do pick ups (an extra traffic congestion zone or two added in to the trip), but I’ll still check your website when I am considering bigger purchases and weigh up the pros and cons. Good luck!
sad to see you guys move as i used to do pick ups before work as I was just around corner before i moved to Napier. Best of luck with everything. Can't wait to order more stuff soon :)
Congrats on the new Building Guys, hope everything goes well.
Keep up the great work! ^ ^
Will miss your previous site in Albany guys! All the best at your current new site in Millwater/Silverdale site hehe!
Tumeke, guys... that new warehouse looks mean! ?
