Artlink Freight Schedule 2026

We have 21 scheduled services for the year running at intervals of every 2-3 weeks. These services operate on the main trunk of Auckland - Wellington - Christchurch. We offer services outside of these centres too, generally worked into existing scheduled services. For instance, we frequently include Wanaka/Queenstown and Hawke’s Bay legs on main trunk services.

Our standard pricing is listed below. We charge by the square metre for paintings/framed prints/ photographs or by the cubic metre for crated items. Minimum charges apply (usually $125+GST/item). At our discretion we offer discounts for multiple items. For areas outside of the main centres, there are additional costs. 

All Artlink drivers are professional art handlers. Our standard service has one driver - if you have items to move that require two drivers for insurance purposes, no problem, though different rates will apply.
