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

Shipping will be resumed from Wednesday, 7 February.
