Move Took a Little Longer Than Expected
Of the three guys, one was awesome and he loaded the truck with great care, one was experienced but he had no idea of space and was rough with the big items crashing a couple of times even after I advised him of how the items were moved in last time (he tried the opposite and had to redo the way I guided orginally). The third guy seemed new on the job and was carrying one small item at a time, he also had no periferal vision so couldn't judge what was around him well. The move took at least an hour more than I believe it should have and they were rough on some items. I have used Conroys before and found them fantastic and I have used other movers and had no worries, so I feel I am pretty realistic about what I expected from this move.
Arrived In Good Condition
Packers forgot to pack items from a garden shed, however overall our household contents arrived in a good condition.
Few Hiccups
Unfortunately there were a few hiccups on the New Zealand end of my move that left my belongings languishing in a warehouse for a month. When the Napier staff were notified they were all very helpful but it took 3 visits to their offices before my possessions arrived after being in Conroy’s hands for almost 10 weeks. The delivery that was finally received was missing an item that we only discovered when we returned to Conroy’s Napier offices to return an additional item that was delivered from someone else’s delivery. Whilst everyone involved has been very pleasant and helpful and I would consider Conroy’s for future moves I would do so hoping that the mistakes and delays that accompanied this move were the exception not the rule.
Generally Happy
We were very happy with the service from the collection point in Taupo and the delivery to our home in Auckland. It was discovered when unpacking the furniture that an antique chair had been broken due to heavy items being loaded onto it. Both the Conroy employees acknowledged this and contacted their boss to inform him. They also requested I speak with him, which I did. It was a very frosty conversation and clearly he was unimpressed that his two employees had admitted liability. We also filed an email immediately to your office. The truck took the chair back to your depot and we have not heard from anyone again. This is clearly unacceptable and I would like to know asap what has happended to the chair?
Best Regards

Several large items left behind
Several large items left behind. Rug, metal filing cabinet and ebike which we had to deal with. We noticed damage to washing machine (dented) as being moved. We hope condition / drop off after storage is better handled.
Packing Wasn't Quite Up To Standard
I Would have liked to have given your company 5 stars. The service at the Auckland end especially Henry, Moses and the rest of the team who delivered at Puhoi deserve 5 Stars.... they were polite and friendly... very effiecient and respectful of our belongings. But unfortunately we were disappointed with the packing at the Perth end....it was very random...there is somebody on your team who needs a bit more training...most of the boxes were picked well and travelled intacked..but there were a few boxes where items had just been thrown in without any care. I have photos of one in particular which contained a retro standard lamp and shade (shade was destroyed as no packing applied) and all other items in the same box were just thrown in...I was quite upset also about our beautiful antique dresser which was poorly packed and the legs were destroyed.... I did expect a few breakages and would have accepted the loss if the boxes all had been carefully packed....at the end of the day if we had had insurance we could’ve replaced some items but there were items that cannot be replaced. ...and if packing had been up to standard we would not be having this conversation. Anyway thanks to the boys at the Puhoi end they were terrific.
"met the pick up & drop off dates promised"
The day before the move I was contacted on the telephone by the depot in Auckland to be advised the van would be coming at the end of the day, rather than what we had specifically arranged in the morning. Admittedly, after I had a spew, the arrangements were changed, but being told that I shouldn't have believed to the sales rep was poor customer relationship management, and it achieved little but to throw fuel onto the flames. Also the other thing that has annoyed me is the labels you guys use, which are the ones that don't peel off nicely, so I have spent hours with turps rubbing sticky residue off everything. Also, the removal guys did not possess basic tools such as screw drivers and allen keys to dismantle stuff. The crew on delivery in Wellington were awesome, and deserved the crate of Heineken I gave them. Even though I gave you 3 stars (which should really be 3.5 stars), I would use again becuase the price was good, and you met the pick up & drop off dates promised, and nothing was broken.
3 Stars
Some of the goods did not reach us, which is a concern and further worrying is that those items were marked off on the list when they delivered...?
"Excellent service from start to finish"
Excellent service from start to finish communication was great and very affordable and competitive shippjng costs. Will be using this company again to ship my car back to NZ in July. Keep up the great work guys!!
"delivery time was askew"
I would like to mention the delivery time was askew. When pick up date is 30th January and delivery was made 13th February. I see there is a process but that process could definately be adjusted in order to provide a faster more accurate delivery time frame. I am fortunate my mother was available to be at the house when the delivery arrived as I was not. This had all come down to the suggested time frame. Kolby is very polite and modestly competent in his position. Unfortunately for the delivery, commitments prevented me from being present to provide feed back. Suprises me there is only one man on the job.
Needed a Time Frame
The intial booking pocess was great, however, we were told that we would be advised the day prior to pick-up that we would be told what time the truck would arrive. Essential info in our case as 1 hour travel time was required for us to be there. I could not reach anyone until 6am morning of, which was very frustrating. Also, truck was then 2 hours later than the time given. The men doing the job were friendly, quick and professional. Would use service again, but wouldn't rely on Conroy to contact me with truck time, or rely on truck to turn up at stated time.
Good communication re delivery & slight delay; effective & cheerful delivery. Surprised at lack of protection/packaging of furniture & appliances for up to 6 months storage-resultant dents, scuffs, marks & damage bore this out. Resultant not our problem response disappointing
