The gentlemen who delivered my goods to the property in Raumati were wonderful - very polite and helpful. I am still unpacking as I am the only person in the house capable of doing so and I am still missing many items, including all of our bedding. The team that packed the house in Gisborne could have done better. I found an open salt jar which had spilled all over an entire box. Ditto a box of couscous. I found the bathroom scales in a box labeled pantry.
I have come across damages which I would like to claim on the insurance. The damages which I found prior to the team leaving on the delivery day are noted on the delivery docket. Can I please have some advice on how to do so. I am still waiting on a valuation of the glass bowl which was broken.
Scheduling was appalling
Why only 3 stars? The organising of scheduling our delivery, between the NZ head office and the Lyttelton branch, was appalling, no contact from your side - we had to do all the contacting repeatedly: 0 stars. The 3 guys in the truck that came and did the delivery were fantastic: 5 stars.
"We are upset, sad and angry'
Hi there, we had a three men team. Two of the men Joker and Bubba were great. Joker in particular was absolutely fantastic. Were I writing a review on just Joker, I would give him 5 stars and absolutely recommend him to other people. He and Bubba were considerate, polite, respectful and thoughtful. Joker even took it upon himself to help package up our salt lamp which I really appreciated. Both Joker and Bubba were extremely professional. They handled our possessions with respect and care. They were understanding and accomodating of the fact that we had two very small children with us for the move. For example leaving the couch we were sitting on till last. They seemed highly organised and efficient. The third man did not introduce himself so I don't know his name. He was careless with our possessions. We had just purchased a new reclaimed time dining table, and he decided to get into the house over the balcony. The table was badly damaged and we are very disappointed. We had recently bought a wooden toy chest this also was badly damaged. We are upset, sad and angry. I don't know why, but the third man seemed to call the shots, the others followed his lead to an extent. I think the decision to move the table the way he did was a bad one. Were I reviewing the third man I would give him 1 star. He was however quite pleasant in manner, one time noticing that our 7 year old was crying he distracted her with a box for her. This was thoughtful and sweet and we appreciated it. I also must note that he carries huge loads, he certainly worked hard. Had our items been undamaged we would be thrilled with the move, would absolutely use you again and recommend you to all our friends. However the damage done is just to hurtful to be able to have faith in your company again. Thanks, Elizabeth
"A few pieces of our furniture were scratched and dented"
The only reason I would not recommend Conroy: A few pieces of our furniture were scratched and dented. Our one leather couch arrived soaking wet on the arm piece (dont know where water would come from that side of the couch in the truck).
After the move our one fridge does not work at all. Our washing machine has two dents in it. The fridge door suddenly does not close properly (the one thats not working). I dont know if it was dropped or what.
Two of our concrete pillars were offloaded from the truck totally shattered in pieces. They were just put in the garden without a word. I found them in that state. Had to throw it away.
My wife bought me a metal toolbox for my birthday. When Conroy packed the house in Auckland she asked the guys to please look after the toolbox. The toolbox arrived all dented around the bottom edges. Looks like it was just dragged onto the truck. Very dissapointing to me.
Spending 3500.00 dollars on a local move is a lot of money and I did not expect this to happen.
Even when we moved from South Africa to New Zealand all our furniture were intact. This was a local move from Auckland to Napier.
Anyway, I cant do anything about the issues, but I hope you understand my feedback.
Regards, Philip
"Not very good customer service"
I cannot fault the 2 guys that delivered our goods - they where extremely efficient, pleasant & well mannered. Unfortunately the same can not be said for the staff at your depot. I received a call to let me know a lawn mower could not be delivered as it did not fit onto the truck & would be delivered on Friday. I advised the caller, my cousin would pick it up. We were told to ask for Chris or Peter. On arrival at the depot he was firstly ignored at the counter, by 4 guys & a lady who where in full view of him. After asking for assistance to speak to Chris or Peter, Chris, being 1 of the 4 standing there, my cousin was told he could go and find the lawn mower in the yard himself. Fortunately another employee, who happened to be passing, offered to assist & he went out of his way to help. Furthermore, I received a call on Friday afternoon, to let me know the lawn mower would be delivered on Monday, there seemed to be a bit of confusion when I said we had already collected it. Not very good customer service from the office side of things.
"unhappy with the service we got"
Day one of our move was fine with staff arriving to pack on time. We came home & alot had been done. Unfortunately day two was a bit of a disaster. Firstly the truck & staff didn't arrive until 11.45am much later than planned. Only 2 staff arrived & there was too much work for them. Fortunately later in the afternoon two other staff were assigned to come & help. However the last of our gear was not off the truck until 8.45pm which is unacceptable for the amount of money we paid. The lads who loaded & unloaded were fantastic - they didn't stop for hours until everything was off the truck. I understand there were staffing issues on the second day but we booked weeks ago and are unhappy with the service we got.
"arrived on time"
the only thing good was you arrived on time
"guys handled precious objects professionally"
I have used conroys before and always found them to be careful and reliable . Is was true this time also , guys handled precious objects professionally and were v helpful. There was a bit of a mix up of delivery times but all sorted in the end .
"Not entirely happy"
Not entirely happy with the Napier side of my move. They damaged my door frame and wall paper in the lounge when moving sofas out. Various items were left and I had to keep constantly reminding them that they were going. Found a weed sprayer hidden behind the air con unit outside. Also they broke the mirror stand on my duchess. Not sure how the Nelson side of things is going to work out as my contents are still in storage. The lawyer held money back on settlement day due to the house being damaged.
3 Stars
Whilst Conroy was the lowest price available of four quotes, from a customer point of view I would not use Conroy again.
The uplifting gang were supposed to uplift the contents of my house in Alexander Road , Raumati and also my stiorage unit in Paraparaumu.
I received a call from the team leader `J' to tell me they had finished at the storage unit - all was good.
The following MOnday I had a call from the Manager of the storage unit complainging that I had still a significant amount to be uplifted.
I did speak with the Operations Manager in Wellington (many thanks to Jo Ritchie) and have not heard anything further about when I will receive my possessions.

Took longer than expected
The movers that moved me into 22 tay st said the container that was packed by movers in waipawa had packed it rough. One queen mattress had not been plastic wrapped. Antique China cabinet had a glass panel broken. Antique treddle sewing machine has a piece on the wheel missing and part of the machines tension apparatus also broken off. One of the brand new oak topped bedside cabinets has a gouge out of the top. Two pediccote tables had one leg broken off each table. The movers weren't impressed by the packing of container. Especially that one mattress hadn't been plastic wrapped. It had been raining alot here, luckily it had stopped when unpacking began.or mattress would've been soaked. The move was expensive and I had expected better treatment of my furniture etc.
