"reatment of our property was rough"
"Service so appalling!!"
Service so appalling!! Badly damaged a number of expensive brand new items and offered a pathetic $500 compensation. Put it out there on Facebook and getting a huge amount of people with simaliar experiances with your company posting there negative reveiws!! Not good for your business. Im currently filing claim with disputes tribunial.
"The man power required for the job was grossly underestimated"
Whilst the TWO men who came to unload unpack (a service we paid in advance for) 2 twenty foot containers with our treasured personnel effects worked long hours extremely hard and no one could have asked more from them. The man power required for the job was grossly underestimated.
Major items of our furniture had been damaged ie two leather suites a glass hall table chipped, large hall mirror chipped. Not all items were unpacked, however that was a decision that I took because it was becoming increasingly late an I was advised that any further damaged found could be reported to yourselves within two weeks. I have also discovered A large Chinese laquared chest with its top smashed! So very disappointed and angry by the lack of care when transferring our effects. Not made any the more palatable by comments made " these things happen during transfer " I have photographic evidence of all damaged items (so far!) I also photographed the opening of the first container which started the alarm bells, you will see ( when I send the pictures ) it looks as though our effects have just been thrown in ! To add insult to injury a telephone request to you office was met by answer machine. A message left two days ago requesting someone to call me back to discuss and address my complaint has so far has been ignored. I will be registering my complaint in detail to Robinsons International and my Insurers Marine Insurers( Lloyds of London )
"one off the worst moving experiences"
For what I paid for the service and what I received I am very disappointed. Price was good. But I was not informed it would be done as a share container and my items would be transferred a couple of times. In these transfers items where damaged and lost. At delivery I was not informed the I should check my items on the inventory list to ensure all is there. Some of my items at delivery where missing bits other bags were split open I don't know if I lost anything from those. So overall this is one off the worst moving experiences that I have had.

One box was water soiled, obviously been outside for a while, or water got into the container or something, anyway goods were OK inside - take an eternity to replace all those things inside it.
3 items are missing, which I need to use mid April - if cannot be found I guess I will have to fork out A$500+ to replace them :-(.
"Not sure what happened, but very disappointed"
The furniture arrived with major damages. It appeared that everything had been "compressed". The boxes were squashed from the top, even the ones marked as FRAGILE.
The dryer, microwave and fridge have large dents in them. The newly refurbished dining room table has a chunk of wood broken out. Our dressing table’s drawers were broken off. At least three of the lampshades are broken. Some of the wooden ornaments are broken.
My mum’s mobility scooter must have had something dropped on it as the front guard is completely broken and the basket crushed from the top.
Not sure what happened, but very disappointed.

"Our experience was awful!"
Disappointed in this company that my family have used in the past with great results, but for our move really let themselves down. Our experience was awful!
"The men were ridiculously slow'
The men were ridiculously slow. They had no boxes to load, only the furniture as we had moved all the little stuff ourselves with friends and family. It took 3 hours to load. On 3 occasions the younger guy was seen sitting in the back of the truck playing on his phone - although he leapt up when he saw us. In all honesy their speed of movement could only be described as sauntering at best. They also left the televisons behind when they left so i had to get my partner to come back with his ute to get them. The attitude of the older guy was very unprofessional - some of his attempts at humour were very suggestive and my 11 year old daughter was present. He was also running down the company and the office staff and complaining about how much he hated removal work. At the end of the day when he was having difficulties getting out of the driveway he was yelling obscenities at the top of his lungs and sped away up the driveway. Although I appreciate that when one is paying by the hour one will always think it should be done faster, this was honestly ridiculous. Myself and 4 family members (from separate households) have all used removal companies more than once and we were all astounded (and getting really cross) at how long it was taking. Ater 5 and a half hours on the clock (excluding lunch) we all jumped in the truck and started moving the furniture ourselves just to get them out of here. My sister had warned me (after I had booked) that she would never use Conroys again as they were far too expensive and slow - I now feel the same. Taking 6 hours to do what they did was unfathomable!
On a more positive note, the booking process was easy and the webite is well laid out with lots of helpful information. The office staff were extremely professional, pleasant and helpful.
"Incorrect size truck sent for the job"
Incorrect size truck sent for the job.
3 very inexperienced staff
1 staff member (the driver) 4 months with the firm needed constant help and discussion with staff number 2 as to how to stack truck resulting in start time 9am (as agreed) truck left loading address at 2pm not full with explaination run out of tie downs and blankets and 3rd member 16 year old boy with absolutely no experienceor initiative I was advised had fallen of the ramp and hurt is ankle and couldnt work any more. Also on arrive I was advised they didnt have a piano dolly and tie downs and would have to send for more.
As truck left I was told another truck to take the balance of furniture was ordered but I may like to confirm if it not here soon. At 2.15 I called Napier dispatch ( Steve) and he told me that he had only been advised by staff on site that a second truck may be needed. As a result of my call making him aware of the urgency as we were past the 5 hour mark for loading and the new owners were expected any time with their furniture urgency was the order of the day. Could Steve ring me back when truck was on its way please? 2.40 pm I phoned back for an update and Steve told me as I had request 3 men he had located two but was having differculty getting a third I said just get the truck rolling with the two staff as I had been helping the 3 slow hopless ones and more than happy to keep helping the second truck as I was starting to panic and very aware this whole debacle was costing me $160 per hour for 3 men and a truck.
2nd truck with 2 staff arrived just before 3pm. I cannot speak highly enough of them they were experienced (one with 4 years and the other with 5) Between us we got stuck in and loaded rest of gear by 4.00 pm ( 1 hour to load) and were on the way to 1215 Taihape road. The first hopless crew had literaly just finished unloading which took them 2.5 hours as truck 2 pulled up the drive Truck two expected them to stay and help unload and as I was exhausted humping furniture to back of trucks from 9am to now 4.30 I was past debating that call. Second truck unloaded by 5.15 and I then signed for receiving my furniture as contracted but the figure of $1800 was well in excess of what I expected to be a 6-7 hour job for a truck and thre men and me fully involved. I refuse to pay for inexperienced staff wrong size truck sent and the need for down time waiting for 2nd truck who were excellent and worked fast and efficiently.
I object to coming out of the house and repeatdly finding the first 3 standing round scratching their head on packing truck and only moving when they saw me coming. I am a manager of staff and these 3 were not a good look for your company .
I would like to sit down with Management and firstly look at the price I am being charged (and yet to pay) and discuss the use of inexperienced staff working on their own, plus I am gutted I had to work my guts outplus keep warning them that they needed to move it along as next residence had every right to be in after midday. I then had to apolygies when they did turn up to drop some gear to find me still there with 3 large items still in the house and a garage full of boxes still to be loaded. Thank god they were very good about it and said there container withCrown was arriving Saturday morning.
So what a mess please get someone to phone me and arrange a sit down.
Regards
Peter
Although your guys were very nice and helpful, treatment of our property was rough and a lot was damaged.
