Thanks we are getting a quote from Vanlines we liked the lady who came around yesterday - just wasn't sure how good they were. Allied was who we used when we came down - but we can't get them by email either so that doesn't inspire me to use them.]]> Thu, 05 May 2011 18:59:47 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39036&PID=1319296&title=moving-companies#1319296 <![CDATA[Moving companies : The crown price was about $6k...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39036&PID=1319282&title=moving-companies#1319282 Author: MamaT

The crown price was about $6k for us (Palmerton North to Neson, 6 weeks ago) and like Ginger said, that was supposed to include unpacking too, but didn't. All the did was set our bed up.

Shop around for insurance too. Crown quoted us about $1200, but after ringing our insurance company discovered we were covered in transit.

Gee Ginger, that seems pricy considering we have just moved Aussie-NZ with full container and a car for only about $12,000.
We went with Allied Pickfords when we moved over to Aussie, they were really good, we used them again when we moved across the country and they were good again. Then we tried to get a quote for moving back to NZ and never heard from them despite many emails so they were put in the 'useless' pile!
We have been dealing with NZ Van Lines since our stuff arrived in NZ and they have been so helpful and easy to deal with, but I can't comment on cost as we didn't actually move with them, they are just our NZ agent.]]> Thu, 05 May 2011 15:03:27 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39036&PID=1319107&title=moving-companies#1319107 <![CDATA[Moving companies : We used Crown - possibly my only...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39036&PID=1319090&title=moving-companies#1319090 Author: ginger

We used Crown - possibly my only complaint as such was that we paid for an unpack at the other end and they didn't really. We pretty much unpacked ourselves. They did the major stuff, but it was a $6K+ bill to go from Auckland to Wellington. We didn't feel it justified a complaint though as the rest of their service was excellent.]]> Thu, 05 May 2011 14:47:38 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39036&PID=1319090&title=moving-companies#1319090 <![CDATA[Moving companies : we&#039;re moving next week, and...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39036&PID=1319041&title=moving-companies#1319041 Author: kat_hutch

we're moving next week, and from word of mouth etc we've been told van lines are one of the better companies. we rang around about half a dozen and they were the best price too.]]> Thu, 05 May 2011 13:40:13 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39036&PID=1319041&title=moving-companies#1319041 <![CDATA[Moving companies : We used Crown recently and would...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39036&PID=1318949&title=moving-companies#1318949 Author: MamaT

We used Crown recently and would go there again. Nothing major, but lots of little communication problems and a few broken peices (nothing worth claiming insurance on, but a PITA nonetheless). If you want more info on the problems feel free to pm me.


A lady I used to work with moved a lot and always used vanlines, she only has good things to say about them.]]> Thu, 05 May 2011 10:33:26 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39036&PID=1318949&title=moving-companies#1318949 <![CDATA[Moving companies : My family use to move around a...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39036&PID=1318937&title=moving-companies#1318937 Author: fairy1

My family use to move around a lot when we were younger and we always used Crown movers and never had any problems with them. Salvation Army used to (may still do but I'm not in those circles currently) and never had any concerns.
Hope the move goes well.]]> Thu, 05 May 2011 10:11:14 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39036&PID=1318937&title=moving-companies#1318937 <![CDATA[Moving companies : We are currently on the move back...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39036&PID=1318921&title=moving-companies#1318921 Author: hannibal

We are currently on the move back to the North Island - just wondering if any one has any recommendations (or disaster) stories on moving companies. Thanks
