Finding Your Trusted Partner: Selecting the Right Moving Company

Selecting the Right Moving Company

It’s no secret that moving is stressful. In fact, many think that moving homes is one of the most stressful events the average person goes through. Finding a good new home, getting everything sorted out and then physically packing up and moving all of your possessions is a time-consuming and often frustrating process. Luckily, you don’t have to do so alone – a trusted moving company can be there to take care of all of the heavy lifting for you, literally. 

Entrusting your important possessions to movers can be a challenge in itself. You undoubtedly have plenty of treasures that are important to you, so you may be worried about letting them be handled and transported by movers. What if items get lost, damaged or mishandled in transit? For your peace of mind, the smoothness of your move and the safety of your belongings, you’ll want to find a good, reliable local company that you can trust. 

How To Find Your Trusted Moving Partner

How exactly do you find a dependable NZ moving company in Auckland? Research your potential movers online to easily learn more about them. Check their ‘About’ page to learn their story.

Additionally, be sure you don’t just look at what they say about themselves – also check what fellow Auckland residents and business owners think about them. Perform a Google search for their company name, and then check their Google Business Profile. The presence of their official profile is already a good sign that they take their company seriously. Then, look at their overall star rating and read through reviews left by others. In particular, look for clients who were in a similar situation to the one you’re in now. If you’re moving houses, look for reviews left by homeowners. If you’re moving offices, then look for fellow business owners. 

What specific qualities should you check? Consider what details are important to you when working with movers, such as:

Professionalism. Your movers should be friendly and approachable, but they should also be professional. After all, they’re professionals, and they’re here to get the job done. They should be punctual when performing their services and thorough when interacting with you throughout the entire process. 

Good Communication. They should have fantastic communication skills. Because moves are often confusing and complicated, good communication will help the process be more streamlined and clear. Pay attention to how they interact with you when you contact them. Are they respectful, attentive and easy to reach? Make sure you ask any questions you have, and they should answer them to the best of their ability.

Specific Services. What kind of services do they offer, and do they provide any extra features? Of course, look for movers who have experience with your type of move. Read through the services they provide to see if they can offer you the help you need for your home or business.

Along with expected services, such as physically transporting boxes of belongings, check if they can do anything else to improve your move. Can they pack possessions for you? Can they handle large pieces of furniture? If you purchase new furniture for your new home or office, such as through sides like Trademe, can they deliver the furniture to you?

Full Transparency. Avoid companies of any kind that are dodgy about their prices or policies, as they could be hiding hidden fees from you that you’ll be forced to pay later. Ask your potential movers about their pricing and what they’ll be responsible for. They should be fully transparent and give you all of the information you need. If they can’t provide information for whatever reason, they should be clear on why. 

It’s a good idea to get agreements in writing so that you’re fully aware of what your movers will do for you. Plus, this will eliminate the possibility of misunderstanding what someone says, as you’ll have it clearly written out for you. 

Quality Of Services And Equipment. What kind of equipment do they use to provide customers with their services? Are the trucks they used in good condition? Do they maintain their handcarts and other equipment they use? Naturally, it’s crucial for professional movers to keep their equipment and vehicles in good condition to prevent breakdowns in transit and disruptions to your move. 

Customer Service. Overall, your movers should provide you with excellent customer service. They should know how stressful moving can be, and they’ll stay clear, professional and efficient so that you have one less thing to worry about.
