Highlights
"The Smooth Mover guys were excellent. Arranging the shift with Jimmy was simple and cost effective. The team of 4 shifters worked extremely well together. A happy, coordinated group. Very polite and helpful. Arrived on time, finished in the timeframe expected. We had a large house lot to shift, including some awkward, heavy items to go up a narrow staircase. They did everything without a problem. Smoth Movers know their business. We will use them again and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them."
"The team at The Smooth Movers truely impressed us. We had to move in the worse weather possible - driving wind and rain all day. The guys showed up on time and worked hard and fast all day and had an amazing atitude despite the misrable weather. We couldn't have done it without them and I couldn’t have been more pleased with the service. I highly recommend The Smooth Movers for your next move."
"We used Smooth Movers for our North Shore move yesterday and can't rate them highly enough. Tim and the lads were efficient, careful and great at what they do. Nothing was too much trouble and we highly recommend them."

True to their name, the Smooth Mover made my mum’s household move, incredibly smooth. From the first phone call with Peyton to the pre-move call with Jimmy, both provided great customer service and gave confidence that the Smooth Mover would make good on their commitments. And that is exactly what happened. Charles, AJ and Shannon arrived on time and made the move effortless. They took great care of all of mums belongings, while working quickly and safely. They were very obliging
Fantastic work by the Smooth Mover team, easy communication and the guys that completed the furniture relocation were very professional and friendly. Would not hesitate to use them again.
Smooth movers did a fantastic job for me moving a small load in an hour. I sm having them back to do a full house move soon and gave complete confidence in them. This is the second time I have used them and they are my movers of choice. Careful and respectful. They get the job done very well.
A very professional and hard-working outfit. The crew showed up on time ready to work, assessed the job and got stuck in. They checked in with us and re-assessed at times over the course of the day and adjusted based on how things were panning out. We were appropriately involved but also not required to be constantly in touch, meaning we could attend to other things as required during the day. The team were friendly and polite throughout. One item was damaged but we were able to resolve the
The team were polite, punctual, friendly, efficient and careful with our belongings. They were incredibly understanding of our unanticipated, awkward and stressful settlement hiccup! They stored our belongings and returned the next day, after hours to unload. They worked cheerfully, and we thank Keith, Geo, Jared, Tim, Brendan, and AJ (I think), and a special thank you to Gavan who coordinated things through the hiccup. A huge thank you to all and I would 100% recommend Smooth Movers????
Very professional but friendly staff, they worked hard to get the job done efficiently and were very helpful
Brilliant team, very quick, attention to detail, no damage or wall marks, informative and took control. Great guys to work with, friendly and after the one day I felt we had made new friends that cared about our house move.
The three lads who helped with my move were bloody fantastic - incredibly efficient and friendly. They were even thoughtful enough to ask about being quiet around our new born twins when unloading the furniture and helped take down and ressamble out bed. They made the whole day go a hell of a lot smoother. Best moving service I’ve ever used. Thank you so much - amazing service!
Going beyond excellence. Recently, we had the pleasure of using The Smooth Mover as our provider to transport content from Auckland to a rural property. The experience from start to finish was exceptional. Unfortunately, once they delivered the load at the rural property, the truck got stuck. This was not a challenge to the team. It took them almost a day, due to the remoteness and difficult terrain, to get the truck out of the mud. The team had smiles and positivity throughout the ordeal. I
Great business to deal with. Clearly communicated their process, showed up on time. The crew worked professionally and were proficient at their job. Would highly recommend.
Fantastic service from a very friendly, professional and fast team. Every person I dealt with was brilliant and the price was competitive.
We had an effortless and positive experience with The Smooth Movers and could not more highly recommend them to others. Great communication leading up to the day by email and on the day by phone and then face to face. Tim and his crew turned up on time, and fully completed the shift in 6 hours at a total cost of $2,361.98 This was the price we anticipated at the start of the job. We found Tim and his crew hardworking, helpful and careful when moving our stuff. My mother has a
All arrangements were made effectively and always confirmed. On the day Reyna and Paul arrived and put our minds at rest immediately and their approach was positive and helpful.They loaded and downloaded our furniture efficiently and effectively with a very personalble approach taking all the stress away from what is potentially a very trying day. Would recommend them unequivocally.
You can use this team with complete confidence. They are awesome. We had a very tricky move from Auckland to Great Barrier. Nothing was too much trouble. Problems got solved. And every person was fantastic to deal with. At a hugely stressful time these guys are a great stress reducer.
A great team of men did the shift for us and as their name suggests everything went smoothly. We could not have asked for an easier move. The communication with the office was clear and concise and everything went as expected. This is the third time over 10 years we have used Smooth Movers and if we move again they will be the first team to call.
We recently moved house and engaged the smooth mover following a couple of recommendations. We were so pleased we did. Unforeseen circumstances meant that settlement did not occur on the day due to a buyer error, and we were left with no option but to stay in our old house over the weekend. Four trucks were filled to the brim! Tim was understanding and, whilst one truck had to return to empty its contents into the garage of our old house, the other three trucks were held over the weekend
Tim and his team were a pleasure to deal with from start to finish. The guys worked tirelessly all day including negotiating a very tricky driveway. They were also excellent value. A Big thank you guys for a job well done! Cheers
