Of clients surveyed said they would recommend Conroy Removals to othersUnfortunately a lot of our furniture has been damaged and I am absolutely appalled in the service.
Our daughters 2 sets of drawers were dropped, chipped and fell apart.
The day our furniture was removed, it was raining. Nothing was covered while it was carried to the truck which resulted in some wooden furniture becoming damp and has since bubbled. Wooden shelves were pushed around the ground which resulted in being covered in mud, and scrape marks and chip damage.
The legs on our kitchen table have a lot of scrape marks on the legs, i thought these would have been covered but clearly not. They are black legs so the scrape marks are very visible. Our coffee table was dropped and marked.
A pot plant (and plants) were broken.
As far as I know the only thing not damaged was our 2 TVs.
Never again would I use this company. I had used them once in the past to move a few items and my set of drawers were again dropped and broken.
Actually, I'm terrified at what I'm going to find when I finally unpack all the boxes of antique English bone china, when I have my cabinetry ready for it. I was quoted 15 boxes (after sending photos of what needed to be packed), and in all seriousness, they should have used 15 boxes... (and they should have used bubble wrap, not just newsprint), they used seven and a half! If I have stuff that has survived at the bottom of the boxes I will be very surprised. We couldn't pick them up, (which was our original intent) to move them, and got Conroys back again... to move them 5 minutes away, along with some furniture. The personnel were friendly enough, but when a huge box has fragile written on it, and Mr Muscle loads one on top of the other to carry inside, it's heart in your mouth kind of stuff. One trip.... and thousands of dollars damage to prized possession. Luckily he didn't trip. Two people should have carried *one* box, not the other way around. In both cases I think the pricing was over-estimated, and thus way more expensive that the actual time on the job dictated, given this was a labour intensive situation. (Even allowing for travel time to the job). 5 hours (i.e. 2 people taking the time they took for both jobs), 8 boxes and wrapping paper, 3-4 pieces of furniture needed wrapping in the van... for $1,250.00 .
Like I say... I am expecting to have quite a bit of heart-break when I get to the bottom of the boxes in a few weeks' time. :-(
All dealings with the admin. were absolutely fine, even changing dates/time at the last minute due to my having to attend a funeral.
Great service! Great communication! Made a complicated move very simple.
Cant thank you all enough!!!
Communication- 3 voice messages left with Mary-Ann still no reply from here. Had to chase up when next truck was to be expected as no communication from Conroy. We expected a full delivery and weren't advised otherwise. Cloths, shoes had to be purchased as these only arrived 4days after the first truck.
Delivery- second truck no blankets were put down had to request and one was put down, carpets will need to be recleaned as now black marks - these were cleaned prior to us moving in.
Damages - sharp dent in the double door fridge from first delivery and the antique oak Butlers Aid had the top broken off. This cannot be replaced.
All in all the actual first part of the process was great and then it seems once the money was paid it all went south. Delivery guys were most polite and helpful just a pity about the damages.
We used Conroys the first time in 2010 when we moved from Johnsonville to Waikanae, they did a super job so we decided to offer them to job of shifting us from NZ to the UK. From day one, it was a breeze, the estimator arrived bang on time and estimated that we'd need a 20 ft container for all our worldly possetions. That estimate turned out to be absolutely spot on, there was about 30cm's of space left in the container by the time the packers had done thier work. The guys who came out to wrap and pack were really good and whilst they all had real concerns about what was going to happen with Covid, they did a superb job. Our goods were then shipped on the due date and arrived in the UK on the date they said they would, the agent in the UK was also really superb and we are currently waiting for our house purchase to get completed so that they can deliver our things to their next home here in the sleepy seaside town of Teignmouth, Devon.
Our experience has been one of professionalism from the outset, excellent communication throughout (not matched by my own I hasten to add, sorry Conroys, I'll get my act together soon.) and a superb service at a reasonable price.
Thanks to you for everything, especially at this very challenging time.

We where disappointed with the packers at shipping orgin,
In Dubai during packing we felt the team of packers where inexperinced and rushed. What we noticed when we unpacked in NZ was many boxes with only a few items eg: 4 teacups and lots of paper in a whole tea-chest type box. Also these packers used only a few wardrobe hanger boxes and the other hanging closet clothes where simply thrown into a box including hangers. The poorly packed items caused more volume and more shipping cost to us. They could have broken down some of the furniture eg; taken the legs from the dining table taking up less continaner space.
The delivery team in NZ where efficent, friendly and helpful - putting the boxes where we asked without fuss and making a stressful day easier.
Its a shame that the team in Dubai let down this move for us. We have learnt our lesson and feel strongly about letting people know to question the movers more througly for their move.
Most things moved was damaged and broken, I wasn't happy with your service, and I would like to argue that most items broken was due to mishandling, And not because of any other reason. I am afraid I can't reccomend your service to any of my friends or family. Because it just took my trust. Now I need to spend all my time on all those broken items to buy it again, Moving is all the about taking care of items that you move. If that's not happening there is no point spending on it.
