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." > — Chris (5.0, via NoCowboys) > "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." > — Robert (5.0, via NoCowboys) > "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." > — Sue (5.0, via NoCowboys) ## Trades Builder ## Independent verification _What MyTrustedTraders independently checked for this business (verified items only):_ - Review volume: MTT is showing 585 public reviews on this profile.
