Looking at using a Moving Company?

Looking at using a Moving Company?
(It's best to always do some checks, you are moving your worldly possessions after all)

Hey, Megan here from Whitehall Movers! I'm co-owner of this Moving Company, alongside Chris, my husband and business sidekick. I'm in the office managing the moves while he is out there doing all the heavy lifting for our wonderful customers. Doing the job we do, we often hear about the horror stories of the time before. The time they booked in the Movers without doing any background checks. You are moving your worldly possessions, prized heirlooms, things you've worked so hard to save up and buy so let's chat about how you can check up on who is moving you, the background story behind the company and what people are saying about them (actual client feedback, not the town gossip).

When you are about to book in with a mover, ask as many questions as you need about processes. Know how the move is going to be planned and executed. If they can't clearly answer your questions without getting annoyed by your million questions... Next please!

​Who is this company, how long have they been is business? Check the about us page on their website. Don't have one? Next please!

Feedback, it's so necessary to see what's being said about the business you're about to trust with your belongings. With the internet and Social Media, it's pretty easy to see what's going down. Can't find anything online about the company you're thinking of using? Next please! (You can read about us on Facebook and Trade Me.)

Who is actually coming? Names and a contact number will make you feel a little better about them being in your home, especially if you're home alone (speaking to our women customers out there). Some of the larger companies send in labor hire, they may have never lifted a piece of furniture (as paid employment) before. Maneuvering furniture through door-frames is a skill that is learnt, and when the furniture is heavy and bulky, well... you know how the walls are going to feel about that. Feel free to ask "Labour hire or trained movers?", if they answer 'Labour hire'... Next please!

- When calling us, we are happy to answer as many questions that you can ponder up!
- When you book with us, you will be informed who is coming, a direct contact number and we can happily say "Trained staff"

Experience the Whitehall Movers difference, give us a call on 0800 266 839 and let's have a chat about your move and how we can help.
