    Three-bedroom in Te Atatū done in six hours. The crew wrapped the dresser mirrors without me asking and the final invoice matched the estimate exactly.

    They packed our kitchen the day before and labelled every carton by room. Unpacking took a weekend instead of a month.

FAQs

Answers before you ask

Still unsure about something? Email it to us and you'll get an answer in writing.

All FAQs
How far in advance should I book?
Two to three weeks gives you the widest choice of dates and the best rate. We keep a small number of slots open for moves booked inside seven days, and month-end Fridays fill first.
How is a local move priced?
Local moves are charged by the hour with a two-hour minimum, then billed in 15-minute increments. The rate includes the truck, fuel, blankets, trolleys and straps — there is no separate call-out or fuel levy.
Is a long-distance quote binding?
Yes. After a free video survey we issue a fixed price in writing. The only thing that changes it is a change to your inventory or access that you tell us about.
Do I need to empty my drawers?
Empty anything breakable, liquid or valuable. Clothing can stay in dressers under about 40kg; filing cabinets and glass-fronted furniture need to be emptied so we can carry them safely.
What will you not move?
Anything hazardous or perishable: LPG bottles, petrol, paint, ammunition, aerosols, fireworks and open food. We flag anything on your inventory during the quote so there are no surprises on the day.
Are my belongings insured?
We carry public liability and goods-in-transit cover on every job, and we can arrange full replacement-value cover on request. We will send you the policy summary before you commit.
